"Batman vs Superman" isn't dropping in theaters anytime soon, but a fastfood meal named after the DC Comics hero has already been rolled out this early.
Thing is, you'll have to fly all the way to McDonald's Hong Kong to try out the new product, as well as other Justice League-themed meals.
"You might think a Batman burger would have a black bun, but that's not the case," CNET said. "The burger is called the diner double beef, because whenever you think of Batman, you think of diners and twice as much beef as normal."
"The burger comes stocked with a mysterious white sauce, two beef patties, a slice of yellow cheese, a fried egg and what appears to be steak sauce with some unknown white objects sticking out. Maybe those are onions," the news source added.
Perhaps some of you may wonder what a fried egg is doing in a sandwich named after someone who typically swashbuckles at night. Maybe it's to represent the floodlight that calls Batman up to the rescue? Or does it stand for the moon at night? Eggs are typically considered breakfast fare.
The meal reportedly can be bought with Squeezy Cheesy Fries on the side. It has bacon-flavored crumbs sprinkled on top of it. Also, the beverage suggestion for these fastfood eats is "a tall, cold glass of sparkling green-apple tea." The fun thing about this is that the burger is served in a "Batman-head box."
The Batman burger is considered McDonald's Hong Kong's answer to Burger King Japan's black burger and KFC Japan's "fried-chicken-themed computer and smartphone accessories."
The special sandwich is apparently the first of a couple other singular ones, still following the Justice League theme. As expected, there may be one for Superman, The Flash, and Green Lantern soon. And maybe Wonder Woman or Aquaman. No details for the other meals have been released yet, prompting Cinema Blend to say, "I can only imagine what culinary delights will be revealed in the Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash packages. The real question is will there be a Martian Manhunter combo or is he just too niche?"
It's also unclear whether the Diner Double Beef will ever make it to U.S. shores. That remains to be seen, especially in 2016 when "Batman vs. Superman" will be released.
Perhaps Batman is the hero Hong Kong protesters need right now, hence the meal.
