Robot Chicken: DC Comics Special

The Robot Chicken DC Comics Special brings together the world of DC Comics and the quirky humor of Robot Chicken in a hilarious stop-motion animated film. The movie starts off with an animated version of Superman and other DC heroes watching an episode of "It's a Wonderful Life," which is reimagined with Superman as the main character. In this alternate take on the iconic holiday film, Superman reflects on the life he might have lived if he had stayed on his home planet of Krypton instead of escaping as a baby. As the film progresses, it presents various animated sketches that poke fun at popular DC Comics characters and storylines. A parody of the Batman: Arkham video games shows Batman trying to take down the Joker, but the caped crusader keeps getting distracted by his own gadgets and eventually gets defeated by the Clown Prince of Crime. The movie also explores the backstory of Wonder Woman, but in a humorous twist, she is revealed to be a failed audition for the Justice League.

The film also features a stop-motion animated reimagining of the classic Batman and Superman rivalry. In this version, Superman is a narcissistic celebrity who keeps trying to upstage Batman, and the two eventually get into a fight that ends with Superman using his heat vision to sing a show-tune about his feelings towards Batman.
