LOS ANGELES—Wicked Pictures is joining comic fans today to celebrate the legacy of the world’s most iconic superhero, as the date officially commemorates Batman Day 2016. In the spirit of the festivities, the company has revealed that pre-production is officially underway for the next big thing from Wicked Comix imprint Justice League XXX: An Axel Braun Parody.
“I’ve been wanting to shoot this movie for as long as I can remember,” said six-consecutive-time AVN Best Parody winner Braun. “It was actually supposed to be my very first superhero porn parody. I wrote a script for it in 2007 when George Miller was going to direct Justice League: Mortal with Armie Hammer as Batman, but after that fell apart due to the Writers Guild strike, I decided to go full ’60s camp with Batman XXX, which in retrospect was a pretty good idea given the enormous success it had. Now that the Zack Snyder movie is finally bringing the DC universe together, it’s finally time to do the same with my porn parody continuum!”
The news comes as images leaked from the project's mainstream inspiration featuring Ben Affleck in the new Tactical Batsuit are raising the ire of fans who claim the design looks too similar to the Night Owl character from director Zack Snyder's earlier—and unrelated—adaptation of the graphic novel Watchmen.
“I am actually among the minority of people who happened to like Watchmen, but yeah that tactical suit is awful!” Braun said, laughing. “All I can say is that what I have in store for Batman’s costume in JLX is definitely more interesting and appropriate, not to mention brutally awesome, and I’m sure the fans will love it."
While full cast details haven’t been announced yet, roles already cast include Ryan Driller, returning in his career-defining role as Superman for the seventh time, and Charles Dera in his third outing as Batman.
Fans can look forward to Braun once again lending his meticulous perfectionism and comic-geek cred to the superhero genre, aiming to outdo his mainstream counterparts with his own special effects and costumes—and, of course, hot sex scenes as well.
Justice League XXX: An Axel Braun Parody will be released in the second half of 2017. For domestic sales on other Wicked Comix titles, contact Bonnie Kail at (800) 737-7838 or [email protected]. For international sales, contact Steven Vlottes at (818) 349-3593 or [email protected].
