Classic Hollywood Stars in Superhero Movies

Classic Hollywood Stars in Superhero Movies
Today superhero films are everywhere. Most films being made are superhero films. That wasn’t always the case. So what if these superhero movies were made in the 1940s or ’50s? That what this series from artist Joe Phillips explores. Clark Gable as Iron Man? Cary Grant as Batman?

If you like the old time Hollywood take on these flicks, you can purchase these directly from Phillips on his Facebook page. I especially love the Marilyn Monroe piece.

Marvel Superheroes As Dogs

Marvel Superheroes As Dogs
I can’t say that I have ever wondered what Marvel superheroes would look like as dogs, but artist Josh Lynch clearly has. So he created this art series to show the rest of us what is in his head. This series is super fun. I think he made all of the right casting choices.

It’s hard to pick a favorite. If these dogs were up for adoption I would have to take them all and create a super canine team.

Ant-Man As A 1950s B-Movie


Check out what Ant-Man would look like as a 1950s B-Movie. Director Peyton Reed drew a lot of inspiration from these old movies. He watched all of the classic shrinking films from years past to prepare for Ant-Man. And now Vulture has put together this fun fake trailer that imagines Ant-Man as one of those classic movies. It’s a fun take on Ant-Man and I almost wish we could see something like this today.

It uses some footage from The Incredible Shrinking Man with footage from Ant-Man’s trailers. The Vincent Price narration makes it totally work.

Superheroes As Manatees

Artist Joel Harris imagined what some of our favorite superheroes would look like if they were manatees. Spoiler alert: They are all pretty fat and look very much the same out of their costumes.

Check out Captain Amanatee, Supermanatee, Batmanatee, Spider-Manatee, Green Lantern Manatee and many more. Sure they are bound to be slow and they will always stop to get a fish treat, but you don’t want to mess with these chubby heroes. Check out more on Joel’s Deviantart page. Fun stuff.

Female Superhero Costumes With Practical Redesigns

Female Superhero Costumes With Practical Redesigns
Female superhero costumes are anything but practical, so it’s no wonder that artist Lord Ingvard wondered what it would be like if female superhero character designs actually were more practical and functional. The artist did redesigns for several characters from the DC and Marvel universe.

Here we have Wonder Woman, Elektra, Supergirl, Black Canary, Ms. Marvel, Vampirella, Red Sonja, Power Girl, and Zatanna. There are no revealing designs here. No cleavage threatening to burst out, testing the strength of these costumes. Just practical clothing to get the job done.
