A brand new trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 parodies Robert Pattinson’s The Batman.
While all eyes are on Robert Pattinson’s DC debut, Sonic is trying to steal the limelight. The blue hedgehog is set to race into theatres later next month. This time, Sonic is set to go up against his most nefarious foe yet: Knuckles, who is backed by Jim Carrey’s Dr. Robotnik.
The self-aware hedgehog has received a brand new trailer that sees him lampooning as Pattinson’s brooding and vengeance-fueled Batman. Sonic is seen atop rooftops, seeking out bad guys to punish, just like our favorite Caped Crusader. And though he’s been called “Vengeance”, Sonic prefers to be called the more apt “Blue Justice”. The trailer should be taken in jest as the Sonic creative team is just having fun with The Batman’s release.
The brand new trailer naturally arrives just days before The Batman is set to release stateside.
Here is the official synopsis for Sonic the Hedgehog 2:
The world’s favorite blue hedgehog is back for a next-level adventure in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2. After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is eager to prove he has what it takes to be a true hero. His test comes when Dr. Robotnik returns, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to destroy civilizations. Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a globe-trotting journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands. From the filmmakers behind The Fast and the Furious and Deadpool, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 stars James Marsden, Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, and Jim Carrey returning, alongside new additions Shemar Moore, with Idris Elba as the voice of Knuckles, and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as the voice of Tails.
Based on the SEGA video game characters, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is directed by Jeff Fowler and stars James Marsden, Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, Shemar Moore, Colleen O’Shaughnessey with Idris Elba and Jim Carrey. The script for the film was written by Pat Casey & Josh Miller and John Whittington from the latter two’s story.
