Is Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky the hero Chicago deserves? Gridiron Heights set out to find the answer when they summarized the Bears season in a hilarious parody video that does not disappoint.
Gridiron Heights, the weekly animated series from Bleacher Report, focused their attention on the Bears’ quest to make the playoffs this week by portraying Trubisky as Batman from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy.
The video takes the premise from the The Dark Knight Rises and ties it to the 2020 Bears season. Head coach Matt Nagy portrays Commissioner Gordon, quarterback Nick Foles portrays Bane and wide receiver Allen Robinson is Catman (but only because he played for the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to his character).
The video is only 85 seconds long, but is packed with many funny moments including:
- Foles (Bane) accidentally blowing up Soldier Field.
- General manager Ryan Pace, playing Alfred the butler, admitting he won’t give up on Trubisky simply because that will mean he messed up.
- Trubisky escaping the underground prison with other benched quarterbacks by throwing a seven-yard screen pass to the left.
- Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray blowing up the playoff bomb set by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to “blow” their own chances at the postseason.
- Nagy butchering the famous Batman quote, instead saying he’s the hero.
Other Bears featured in the short include tight end Cole Kmet and running back David Montgomery.
