Superhero movie fans would be hard pressed to find to tonally and stylistically different films than DC Films' Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. The former is self-serious, dark, and ominous, while the latter is equal parts bright colors, popular music, and jokes.
Have you ever wondered what might happen if someone combined the two? One fan did, and then provided an answer.
Chandler Balli (@CinematicEX on Twitter) imagined what Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice might be like if it borrowed the opening sequence from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. What you get is Ben Affleck's Batman beating up thugs to the tune of Electric Light Orchestra's "Mr. Blue Sky" accompanied by some stylish credits.
The end result really isn't bad. Perhaps Zack Sndyer and James Gunn should find a project to collaborate on.
Take a look for yourself below:
In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, It's been nearly two years since Superman's (Henry Cavill) colossal battle with Zod (Michael Shannon) devastated the city of Metropolis.

Convinced that Superman is now a threat to humanity, Batman embarks on a personal vendetta to end his reign on Earth, while the conniving Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) launches his own crusade against the Man of Steel.
Batman v Superman: Dawn fo Justice was directed by Zack Snyder and written by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer. The film stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot.
