You're undoubtedly familiar with the story by now: A wealthy, charismatic young entrepreneur with control issues, a secret room and a penchant for fetish gear and wonderful toys meets a young woman, and then things get weird -- or weirder, at least. In Gotham, everything's relative.

It actually hadn't dawned on me how similar, at least in broad terms, Bruce Wayne is to Christian Grey until I saw Josh Meeter's Batman/Fifty Shades of Grey mashup trailer "Fifty Shades of Bruce Wayne," which, depending on how things go, could very well be the direction Warner Bros. takes the Dark Knight. Hey, stranger things have happened (cue footage from 1997's Batman & Robin).

"When my wife told me what Fifty Shades of Grey was all about," Meeter explains on his YouTube page, "this is EXACTLY what I had imagined."
