Summary:
It’s part of a running joke on social media between Star Wars: Episode VII director J.J. Abrams and Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder. And it is getting a little weird.
On Thursday, J.J. Abrams' production company Bad Robot posted this video of the first official look at the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: Episode VII. But it turns out to be something more... And weirder.
We start with the familiar chords from John Williams' Star Wars score as the camera pans over a tight close-up of the Falcon.
So far, so head-explodingly good.

But then, the music shifts...to Hans Zimmer's Dark Knight score?

And the camera zooms in on… Is that?… Yup, the Batmobile from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
On the Millennium Falcon. What the what?
