Braun’s Modern Superhero Classic Continues to Soar as Mainstream Version Tanks with Critics
LOS ANGELES, CA – (MARCH 28th, 2016) – Wicked Comix is pleased to announce that legendary director Axel Braun’s award winning two-disc DVD Batman v Superman XXX: An Axel Braun Parody is continuing to leap tall buildings of commercial and critical acclaim with a single bound. While the sexy, special effects-laden saga has been a hit since its June 15th debut, sales of the title have spiked dramatically as audiences across the globe geared for this weekend’s theatrical release of Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, as have views of the movie on Wicked.Com.
While advance reviews of Dawn of Justice are unanimously negative (the film currently has only a 30% “fresh” rating on the influential review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes), Braun’s super-powered spoof has proven itself to be an enduring synthesis of the director’s legendary attention to detail, high production values, and creative casting. With Giovanni Francesco, Ryan Driller and Brendon Miller reprising their award-winning roles as Batman, Superman and The Joker, the movie swept the 2016 AVN Awards, earning Kleio Valentien a much-deserved Best Supporting Actress award for her portrayal of the deliciously villainous Harley Quinn. The movie film was also honored with Best Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Special Effects and Best Makeup.
Batman v Superman XXX: An Axel Braun Parody continues to be a cause celebre in the mainstream press as well, with profiles appearing in such respected media outlets as former Village Voice Editor Tony Ortega’s The Lip.TV, MTV UK, Perez Hilton, Digital Spy, The Daily Star and many more. To date, the movie’s SFW YouTube trailer (https://youtu.be/tf-LdCD3Ha8) has been viewed nearly 1.7 million times.
For his part, Braun couldn’t be happier with the film’s continued triumph. “Commercial success is always awesome, but what makes it really sweet is that my movie still resonates so loudly with comic book fans. Knowing that, although this is just a porn parody, they appreciate my love and deep understanding of the characters and my commitment to the source material, is by far the bigger reward!”
