LOS ANGELES—The trailer for Batman v Superman XXX: An Axel Braun Parody from Wicked Pictures’ superhero imprint Wicked Comix has surpassed 1 million views on YouTube.
“Even more exciting than hitting the million mark are the continual comments that viewers are posting about how much they loved the trailer,” Braun said. “It’s extremely flattering to hear that so many comic fans around the world trust me to provide a more accurate and exciting film depiction of their favorite superheroes than mainstream, and it’s just awesome to be able to do that.”
A small sample of the comments left on the trailer include:
You’re doing God’s work.
Acting is too good. Can’t be porn.
It’s kind of amazing how this had a better trailer than the real movie.
Additional attention has come to the trailer by way of featured appearances on outlets including Cinemablend, Complex.com, AskMen.com, BroBible.com and iO9.com. It gained even more traction still last month when Braun offered $1 million to Christine Ouzanian to play the role of Batwoman in the movie’s sequel. Ouzanian is the former nanny employed by Ben Affleck, who is donning Batman’s cape and cowl in Hollywood’s Batman v Superman, due out in 2016. The million-dollar offer was featured on TMZ and widely reported on by mainstream media and celebrity gossip outlets around the world.
Braun’s next movie is Peter Pan XXX: An Axel Braun Parody, releasing September 30 from the Wicked Fairy Tales imprint.
