You’ve all watched the official trailer for The Dark Knight Rises by now, yes? How about The Lion King, which you’ve had 17 years to catch up on. How about watching a combination of the two?

This video is a mashup of the trailer for The Dark Knight Rises (audio) and The Lion King (visuals). It works much better than it ever should have done. It looks like it was always meant to be this way.

Someone should give this guy (or gal) an editing job. Seriously. I’ve seen some truly awful movie trailers down the years; some which give away too much, some which give away too little, some which are just unwatchable.

If this person can produce something of this quality when splicing two movies together just imagine what they could do with a blank slate. Awesome, awesome job.
