Insomniac Comic Poster Report

thehefnerI was hoping to get more work done today. But apparently, when you're awake till six in the morning thanks to a bastard cough, sleeping on and off till two in the afternoon, you don't operate so well for the rest of the day. Go figure.
First--a most unusual Spider-Man tattoo: awesome or disgusting?
Secondly, while I don't buy use posters anymore, I would seriously consider making exceptions for the following:
I keep going back to stare at Adam Hughes' Women of DC Comics Poster. Hughes is one of those rare artists who does cheesecake well, in my opinion. These don't look like vapid cardboard cutout boobily women with no internal organs. Hell, it looks like a VANITY FAIR spread by Liebowitz. Sexy, strong, and graceful.
A couple complaints, though. Kathy Kane, aka Batwoman (you know she's a lesbian because she's wearing pants!) is hardly on par with the rest of those characters. Not her fault, of course, DC's being bizarrely hesitant to even give her a mini-series, but as things stand, that should really be Huntress or Barda.
Also, much as I seriously adore Oracle here, it has been pointed well that paralyzed legs don't work that way.
Say, seeing them together here, I have to wonder, have Babs and Harley ever met? Because that might be delightfully AWKward.
Someone on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
scans_daily is considering drawing the male counterpart of this poster, and has been wondering who would go well on there. My dream roster of eleven would be Clark, Wally, Hal, J'onn, Arthur, Ollie, Carter, Lex, Bruce, Harvey, and the Joker.
And speaking of those last three, check out these five brand new DARK KNIGHT posters: first, Batman on his BatPod (a little too Toy Biz action figure-y for my tastes), but more importantly these character headshots of The Joker,, Batsy, and Harvey (methinks I need an icon of that image, stat), plus this long poster combining all three.
On one hand, I suppose it's a little too on-the-nose and obvious in its general theme (gee, do you think they're hinting at something FACE-related here?!), yet someone else pointed out the neat subtle use of Harvey being the only one of the three whose face is in focus and hand is blurry, not the other way around as it is with the Joker and Batman. A nice touch.
Also, I love the slightly pained look in Eckhart's eye there. Haunted and foreboding. God, Harvey, you poor bastard. I've said it before and I'll say it again, July cannot fucking get here soon enough.
