Lately, directors JJ Abrams and Zack Snyder have been competing in the world’s most adorable Twitter war of DC Comics vs. Star Wars oneupmanship. And Abrams has just taken the whole thing to a new level but releasing a video of his Millennium Falcon.
If you haven’t been keeping track of this delightfully nerdy showdown, here’s the recap. It all started when Snyder tweeted this video of a Sith Superman.

Abrams responded with a BoyegaMan shot. (LOVE IT).

Then Snyder slipped R2 onto set of Batman Vs. Superman.

And then Abrams threw down the hammer, showcasing a massively detailed video of the Millennium Falcon, something we’re assuming he’s been using for his Star Wars production. Tucked underneath like a little baby is a tiny Batmobile. We are just geeking out all over. Come on, Snyder, it’s your move. Unleash Lex Luthor!
EDIT: Earlier I suspected that this was CG and as you all pointed out in the comments that’s probably the real deal right there that was shot on a steady cam. Thanks for correcting me, and now I have chills.
