This mildly amusing mock trailer is Fox Searchlight-generated and that’s cool, but I don’t think it’s good enough. Birdman Returns is a sequel, mind, so what’s with the generic “in a world of darkness…in a time of chaos” set-up? That’s the kind of broad-stroke, set-up narration you would use for a teaser for the first Birdman flick…no? And why not some dialogue snips of the 1992 Michael Keaton playing Birdman’s debonair alter ego?
