Forget Superman; it's 'Batman vs. Pennywise' in this fan mash-up trailer

Having faced down the Joker on multiple occasions, Batman has a fair amount of experience tangling with killer clowns. But he’s never met a clown quite like Pennywise. A new fan trailer imagines the sure-to-be-epic confrontation between the Dark Knight and the Derry Boogeyman, mixing footage from the blockbuster Stephen King adaptation Itwhich is now the highest-grossing horror movie of all time — with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
