We did n’t expect a State Farm advert with Jason Bateman to also give us some great take on Batman , the Joker , Catwoman , and more ( seriously ) .
More often than not , when Madison Avenue starts poking around the geek cosmos for advertising ideas , what we cease up getting is something that comes across as cringey , trying too hard , or being made by tribe who have no clue what they ’re deal with . That by all odds can not be suppose about whichever marketing firm come up with the idea of get over over the DC Universe and State Farm insurance policy with – Jason Bateman ? ! ? In the prolonged spirit ( wait for you above ) , State Farm equates going with another policy company with getting " Bate - man " ( Bateman ) instead of Batman ( the voice ofWill Arnett , who gets in a swell podcast dig ) to help bring through Gotham . In increase , we haveSZAas Catwoman , Jordan Howlettas Commissioner James Gordon , andKai Cenatas Kai Cenat ( but in a whole caboodle of trouble ) . But it ’s the overall look of the commercial message that ’s really … pretty great . We puzzle some telling looks at The Riddler , Two - Face , and Poison Ivy – but it ’s the Joker that turn up that sometimes , less genuinely is more when it comes to make The Clown Prince of Crime seem as distressful as he needs to .
Here are some screencaps from the advertizing – with the extended cut waiting for you above ( and a look at someone who ca n’t get away the rumor mill when it descend to play the Dark Knight ):
