Bruce Wayne promoted Gotham City while Lex Luthor championed Metropolis in commercials for Turkish Airlines that aired during the Super Bowl.

The first clever advert introduced new Turkish Airlines flights to destination Gotham City that was described as a 'city that's risen above its past to become a thriving urban center.'

'Thanks to a significant grant from my company Wayne Enterprises, Gotham is being restored to its former glory,' said Ben Affleck, 43, as Bruce Wayne as he strode into a waiting car.

Travelers were urged to discover why Gotham City was great again and told they could catch a glimpse of a local celebrity as the iconic Bat signal was shown in the sky.

'There's never been a better time to visit our great city,' Wayne said while seated in a Turkish Airlines plane seat.

The Gotham City promotion also featured two views of the Ace Chemicals building where the Joker was disfigured and later became one of his hideouts.

Jesse Eisenberg, 32, was shown as Lex Luthor saying that Metropolis was open for business again after a substantial contribution from his corporation LexCorp.
