Superheroes Batman and Superman share a kiss in the video for Coheed and Cambria's new single Island from the group's latest album The Color Before the Sun.
The video follows a bearded man who works for tips in Times Square dressed as Batman.
A man offers Superman $5 to battle Batman.
A victorious Superman walks away from the fight without looking back as Batman returns to his home, where he eats dinner in the dark by himself.
On a cold and rainy night, Batman comes to Superman's rescue as two men dressed as a rabbit and a tiger bully him. After he has saved his former foe, Batman slowly approaches Superman and the men share a kiss as tourists cheer.
“When I think of these two iconic characters, I think of opposite attraction,” wrote Claudio Sanchez, the group's lead vocalist. “I think of myself and my wife. How two opposite ends ends of a spectrum can create harmony and balance. In one way or another, these characters have been paired up with like-minded love interests, the Bat and the Cat... The Alien and the Amazonian... I wanted to bring the Dark and the Light together.”
The video precedes next week's premiere of Batman v. Superman, staring Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman.
