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.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.

It's just kind of the rule with sueprheroes - they all look body builders and athletes. It's always been that way. Even back in 1938 when comic book art was kinda crude Superman was always drawn to look bigger and buffer and brawnier than the mere mortals who surrounded and/or made the mistake of opposing him. It's the same with a guy who isn't necessarily a strenght oriented character like the Flash or the Green Lantern (any of them). Even Spider-Man, by far one of the smaller heroes, is drawn to look like he hits the weight room regularly.
