Why is it that marketing people nowadays are trying so hard to recreate the ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy in whatever they do that’s even remotely action packed.

Sure, that’s a bit of an exaggeration but this isn’t the first time we’ve heard Dark Knight themed music in a car video. It’s almost like they’re trying to convince us that if we buy their car, we’ll suddenly be transported to a world where we can be the hero and some guy called The Joker is going to try to hurt people.. just because.

As for the car of choice, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is way to luxurious to associate with any sort of Batmobile, but let’s not get too carried away with the soundtrack.

The video itself isn’t anything special, but it does capture the car from all of its good angles – and by that we mean absolutely all of its angles.

The S-Class Coupe is a beautiful car and you’ll get a sense of luxury (obviously), but power as well, regardless of which version you buy/drive. The “entry-level” S500 Coupe will still get you from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.6 seconds thanks to its 455 PS, 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) V8 engine.
