In the 21st century, superhero stories are often judged on how realistic they are - how "gritty," how dark, how "adult." It's never been more visible than with Batman. Between Christopher Nolan's take in the Dark Knight trilogy and the still-ongoing takes by Matt Reeves, it seems like the Caped Crusader was built for the Nirvana-scored, brooding tone of tragic flashbacks and smeared eyeliner.

Once inside, she's introduced to two-time Oscar nominee and star Colman Domingo, who is donning a cropped suit, red belt and lipstick and a finger wave wig à la Dr. Frank-N-Furter's androgynous style. The campy, five-minute clip continues with Carpenter being pushed into a hidden disco room among a rabble of queer outsiders and drag divas, before her baby blue skirt suit co-ord is stripped off her by a flurry of hands with extravagantly long red nails.

It's been 35 years since the show catapulted Will Smith into stardom, not to mention ushering in a legacy of Black people in entertainment since the 90s.
