Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is a 42-minute tragicomic musical in three acts, each released separately. It tells the story of Dr. Horrible, an aspiring supervillain, Captain Hammer, his superhero nemesis, and Penny, their mutual love interest. The movie was written by writer/director Joss Whedon, his brothers Zack Whedon and Jed Whedon, and Jed's then fiancée, actress Maurissa Tancharoen. The writing team penned the musical during the WGA strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike.
Dr. Horrible is an aspiring super-villain with a plan for world domination. He also has a crush on Penny, a girl he met at the laundromat. There, he accidentally makes her meet his arch nemesis Captain Hammer whom she falls in love with.
Penny seems to be smitten with Captain Hammer who's true nature begins to reveal itself: He might not be as into doing good for the right reasons but more for selfish ones. Dr. Horrible decides that he must get rid of Captain Hammer.
Dr. Horrible invents a death ray which he plans to use on the superhero at the unveiling of a new Captain Hammer statue. Penny is torn between the hero and the villain, realizing that she may have feelings for Horrible.
