The superhero extravaganza Batman v Superman was a monster hit at the box office this past weekend, but Jimmy Kimmel Live came up with a way to expand its reach beyond its action-loving fan base. The solution: Mixing the trailer for Batman v Superman with the one for the new Bridget Jones movie coming out in September. The Week's Scott Meslow has pointed out that most fights between good guys Batman and Superman are pretty contrived, but contested paternity is a pretty good plot device that future comics writers might want to keep in mind. In any case, if Batman & Superman Versus Bridget Jones ever actually made it to the theater, I'd buy a ticket. Watch the surprisingly seamless trailer below. Peter Weber
