Popular steamer Kai Cenat faces up against Batman – or is that Bateman – in a new State Farm commercial. 

The Insurance brand has gathered an impressive list of starry names and cast them as classic DC heroes and villains in a new ad promoting the importance of proper cover.

The hook of the piece isn’t actually Batman. Instead it’s Bateman – or Arrested Development star Jason Bateman as a Dark Knight wannabe. 

Throughout the advert’s 1.54 minute run time, we see the wise-cracking Bateman come face to face with people like Catwoman, The Riddler, Joker and even Bruce Wayne’s horned alter-ego.

Amid the action, we also get a glimpse of Cenat playing a Gotham City resident tied to a chair by glowing green cables. 

“Are you serious bro?” he asks Bateman.

Joining Cenat and Bateman are musician SZA as Catwoman and Content creator Jordan Howlett AKA Jordan the Stallion as Commissioner James Gordon. 

Meanwhile, we’re pretty sure that’s the voice of Bateman’s SmartLess podcast buddy and Arrested Development co-star Will Arnett as the voice of State Farm’s own Batman although this has yet to be confirmed. 

Meanwhile, the short advert features appearances from The Riddler, Harvey “Two Face” Dent, Joker and Poison Ivy.

Has Kai Cenat played The Dark Knight before?

Technically, yes. Cenat donned the Bat-suit in an advert for an Arkham Asylum live streaming game marathon that he completed earlier this year.

The Twitch streamer is well known for hosting marathon-length video game streams and in one of his latest feats, he played the entire Batman: Arkham video game series.

He even made a trailer for the event that saw him wear Bruce Wayne’s iconic gear.
