This has been bouncing around the web for a few years.

It is a trailer for a movie that never existed. The producer, John Fiorella, made it as a fan fiction entry for a comic book convention. It did so well, and demand was so high for a full-length feature film, that rumor has it DC banned all further fan produced films using DC comic book characters.

Since technically it is a short-film, it even has an IMDB entry that you can find here.
