For my money, those posters are way cooler than any of todays posters. Todays posters are just so... photoshopped. They don't project anything remotely epic or awe inspiring.

My thoughts EXACTLY - A bunch of heads photoshopped together. Posters of the 70s and 80s were so much better.

Why is Flash so muscly in that photo? Does the power of super-speed have some effect on his physique? I'm not criticising, just asking - I never read flash, but I am familiar with the origin story and I thought he was just a normal guy who got splashed by some chemicals and became super-fast.

Well, they've never really explained the physique, that's for sure. I know that in the first 10 or 15 issues of the this past Flash run (around 1988 or so) they were careful to explain that his strength was based on the "speed, properly focused, becomes power" concept. An average guy has pretty good strength in his 20's and 30's, and if he can hit you 50 times in a second, then it's all over...

I thought that run was one of the best in comics during that time period. The first 30 issues of that book were fantastic.
