AceShowbiz - Sean "P. Diddy" Combs didn't run out of idea for his Halloween costume despite Warner Bros.' recent legal letter. After revealing that the studio banned him from portraying the Joker again, the rapper took inspiration from another DC Comics character, Batman, for this year's costume.
The hip-hop mogul unveiled his epic transformation into the Gotham superhero on early Wednesday, November 1. Taking to his Instagram account, he let out a video and a bunch of pictures depicting him as the Caped Crusader.
Filmed in high resolution, the clip featured Diddy's Batman sitting on his Batmobile which was parked in a Batcave. Putting a spin on Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise, he called his iteration "the Darkest Knight."
After some pep talk from a young boy in place Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth, Diddy's Batman went out to save the day and end the strike. He was seen invading the office of a man who looked to be prominent studio exec and roughed him up, before the man agreed that "the strike is over."
The man was stripped of his clothes, gagged and left unconscious in front of an office building with a sign that read, "The strike is over! Love, The Darkest Knight." The next scene showed Diddy reading newspaper which headline read, "The Darkest Knight Ends the Strike."
Diddy unveiled his Batman costume shortly after revealing that WB banned him from portraying the Joker again, because he "did it too good." In a video posted on Tuesday night, he said, "last year after I did the black Joker, I got a bunch of emails from the studio telling me to not be the Joker anymore, that I was breaching the trademark. So I don't know that I'm going to be this year."
The 53-year-old said that he conceded to Warner Bros. after the legal threat. "To the motherf**ker that took all this time... to tell me not to be the Joker, you win. I'm not going to be the Joker this year, just because your a** had enough time to f**k up my motherf**king Halloween," he claimed, before ominously adding, "Now watch me!" The video ended with "STAY TUNED."
