Ted Lassois one of television’s biggest hits in 2021, and though the series showed its darker side in season two, it’s safe to say the third act in AFC Richmond’s story won’t be as gritty as this new mashup between coach Lasso andThe Batman.
Seeing as the show is still riding the success wave that came with its Emmy blowout, it’s no surprise to see fan-made trailers pop up all over the place, with some daring totransferTed Lassoto horror and thriller territory. Suffice to say, there are few trailers as big right now asThe Batman’s exciting reveal during DC FanDome, and Richmond’s uplifting South London setting still manages to mix well with Matt Reeves' chosen tone for Gotham.

The fantastic trailer made by Jason Gallagher opens up just likeThe Batman’s,with the same lines about fear and the true meaning of the Bat-Signal for criminals. Ted’s phone acts like one of the Riddler’s enigmatic messages, although it helps that the football comedy has a proper villain too. Gallagher’s chosen color palette and his scene selection also pair up perfectly withTed Lasso’s ugliest moments from season two, which when combined withThe Batman’s music will remind many that Ted is indeed the hero Richmond deserves and needs.
Of course, havingThe Batman’s Warner Bros. logo on another Warner production such asTed Lassohelps, but the icing on the cake here is probably Roy Kent’s very real and loud cursing, which makes up for the absence of Robert Pattinson’s criminal beatdown. Much like Ted Lasso, the kind of Bruce Wayne that fanssee inThe Batmancould be one who’s also struggling to deal with his own share of mental issues, so the crossover couldn’t be any better.
WhileTed Lassowon’t come anywhere close to the budget of a blockbuster likeThe Batman, it’s safe to say season three will see AFC Richmond raise its game, as the team’s return to the Premiership comes with a newly signed partnership between the show and the English Premier League. All this means thatTed Lassocould capitalize on its growing popularity by featuring even more cameos from real-life football teams, stars, and managers, especially with it being such a hit among the likes of Jurgen Klopp.
It’s almost guaranteed thatTed Lassowill not be the last show to be matched withThe Batman’s trailer, as the new teaser has beenpraised unanimously by figures such as Hideo Kojimaand Zack Snyder, so buckle up those batbelts.
Ted Lassoseasons 1-2 are now available on Apple TV Plus andThe Batmanis scheduled to hit theaters on July 07, 2025.
