Birdie v Sanders: Dawn of Justice

Two things happened on the 26 March 2016. Probably more than that, like two dozen or so, but only two need concern us now.

The first is that I saw Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square. The second is that a bird landed on the podium during a Bernie Sanders rally, providing his supporters with a moment of messianic glory.

My immediate thought was that I should take the audio from a particular section of the film and lay it over the video of Bernie and the bird. That would be pretty funny, and doubly zeitgeisty. Except I didn’t get around to it, and then a week went by and it felt like the moment had well and truly passed. I’d missed the window.

What compelled me to do it anyway a full ten years later is beyond me. But here it is.

(Note: title-wise, I also would have accepted “Bernie v Sparrow: Dawn of Justice”)
