In honor of Super Bowl Sunday, Turkish Airlines released two big ads that surely pleased fans of D.C. films. The ads perfectly satirize traditional airline/destination commercials, with a warm voiceover, hopeful music and a very idealized view of both Gotham and Metropolis.
The Gotham ad features narration that praises the city as having "risen above its past" - a loving nod to the rampant crime that seems to plague it. Ben Affleck appears as Bruce Wayne, saying, "There's never been a better time to visit our great city."

The ad even mentions that you might catch a local celebrity, with the famous Bat signal shining in the sky.
As for the Metropolis ad, Henry Cavill does not appear as Clark Kent. Instead, we get Lex Luthor Jr. (Jesse Eisenberg). "Thanks to Lex Corp.'s substantial contribution, Metropolis is open for business again," Luthor says at a local ceremony.
Smiling a smarmy smile, Luthor tells the camera, "We can't wait to welcome you."
The ad also includes narration that takes note of the city being "reborn, rebuilt and strong than ever." This references the total destruction featured at the end of Man of Steel, with Superman attempts to defeat General Zod (Michael Shannon) resulting in a huge mess for the city.
Both ads conclude with some previously seen footage from the Batman v Superman trailers.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is scheduled for release in theaters on March 25.
