WATCH: State Farm’s Batman ad just gave us the best Joker, Two-Face and Riddler ever

What the heck!? How did a State Farm ad just give us a better Batman rogue’s gallery than any other we’ve seen on screen in live-action!?

The insurance company dropped an ad today out of nowhere that features FTN favorite Jason Bateman answering the Bat Signal in Gotham’s sky instead of Batman (geddit?) and while it’s played for laughs, it also features Joker, Riddler, Poison Ivy, Catwoman and Two-Face and they all not only look great, they look like they just stepped out of the pages of a DC comic book.

Smallville animated series hit a Superman-sized problem, says co-creator

The cast includes: Jason Bateman as Bateman, SZA as Catwoman, Kai Cenat as Kai Cenat, Jordan Howlett as James Gordon, Josh Meyer as Riddler, Josh Harp as Joker and finally Andrew Tippie as Two-Face.

Not only that but we have a cracking Batman and Batmobile on screen too.

Check out this closer looks at Joker, Riddler and Two-Face:

Aside from the villains, the ad has Bateman’s usual dry humour and it makes me wish even more that we could get him in a future Ghostbusters movie as the Bill Murray insert character.

Watch the ad below and let me know what you all think…

He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
