I can't really believe I let something like this go by me when it first came out. I picked this dvd up today and was blown away. This is a creation of Joss Whedon during the writers strike last year. It was released as a a mini webisode on their website. The best way to describe this would be supervillainy, love, and Singing!
Dr. Horrible(played by Neil Patrick Harris) is a mad scientist who hates the problems of the world so much that he's decided to conquer it. Dr. Horribles various plans are foiled by his nemesis Captain Hammer (played by Nathan Fillion), a super ass who everyone loves.
Dr. Horrible alter-ego, billy, has a crush on Penny (played by Felicia Day) but is too nervous around her to ask her out.
If this show itself wasn't enough Whedon really outdid himself with the dvd. The commentary track from the cast and crew is done entirely in song simply entitled: "Commentary! The Musical".
I really don't want to say more or I feel I would ruin the experience that is Dr. Horrible, but this project just really proves the Whedon is a genius that holds a PHD in horribleness!
