This Blade/Dark Knight mashup is so realistic, it&#8217;s almost believable.  The two franchises make a great match, and I love it that Blade just assumes Batman is a vampire because of the bat-motif.

<p>I <em>love</em> this song, but of all the videos featuring it, this is by far my favorite.  The sketch just really compliments the tone of the song somehow.  In case you&#8217;re wondering, the group that originally performed this song is The Mountain Goats.  The rap undercurrents are provided by the group Aesop Rock for this remix.</p>
<p>If you like this song, don&#8217;t miss <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPy_fiv3sAw">No Children</a>.  It&#8217;s very nearly as good, even if there isn&#8217;t a music video for it yet.  </p>

While I&#8217;m not a fan of clowns, I love this film.  It looks a lot like the effect used in Watchmen, only far more extensive.  
Finally!  Someone can make the Where&#8217;s Waldo film America has been waiting so long for!
