Ever since the films, Barbie and Oppenheimer, were both released this year, and became huge cultural and financial juggernauts, people have generated countless memes and discussions pairing the two titular characters in the films, in various and unique ways.
As with other various crossovers in the past, such as the pairing of Xenomorphs from the Alien franchise and the Predators of the titular franchise in film, a B-movie director, Charles Band, announced the upcoming release of his Barbenheimer, bringing Barbie and Oppenheimer together in film.

The synopsis of the film, which Band is ready to work on in the upcoming year features “Dr. Barbenheimer,” a stand-in for Barbie, coming over to the “real world”, being exposed to the horrors of humanity, and ultimately deciding to build a nuclear bomb and destroy everybody with it.
With a plot like that, most people would assume that it is set to be a tongue-in-cheek B-movie quality film, an assessment that Band does not dispute nor discourage. Band has a long list of B-movies to his credits since the 1970s, including Puppetmaster, The Ghoulies, Trancers, Demonic Toys, the Evil Bong franchise, and the cult-classic film, Re-Animator.
Band reports that his planned film has generated a lot of buzz. He reported that he had been approached at a recent film festival by people wanting him to sign posters for it after only barely announcing it. Band also acknowledges that it was his biographer, Alan Felber, who initially came up with the idea that Band later embraced and began working on.
There is no release date for the film and Band has one other film he plans to get in the can before he begins working on Barbenheimer in earnest, however, he is excited about it and believes that it could be his biggest film ever.
