This humorous piece of fan art comes from Dave Franciosa. It shows older versions of DC characters interacting with their current versions. The Joker can’t believe what has become of himself.

Robocop hasn’t aged well, but I guess it makes sense that his human parts would age eventually. Nice to see him still on the job though and not retired. “I’d buy that for a dollar…and pay in all pennies! Also… Get off my lawn. You have 3 seconds to comply!”
This is a cool digital art take on Robocop.
This unique and fun series of oil paintings are from artist Andreas Englund. They feature an aging superhero who continues to fight crime and kick serious butt. It’s kind of nice to see a hero who isn’t young and in his prime. It’s a good reminder that the real heroes are the ones you would never expect.
All of our superheroes are either young or in their prime, but we rarely ever see old superheroes. They are perpetually young and strong. Well, not in this amazing art series from Chicago-based artist and illustrator Alex Solis. Here we see familiar heroes as senior citizens. Still super, just… Super old.
The series is titled Famous Oldies and that is just what they are, shown here wrinkles and all, still doing their thing. I’m just glad to see that they have not given up after all of these years.
Shanghai based artist Eddie Liu created this imaginative series that imagines what some DC superheroes might look like if they grew old and were ready for retirement. We know them as young heroes in their prime, but in real life, everyone ages. It’s fascinating seeing such iconic heroes in a new light. These heroes may be old, but just look at them. They can still take care of business.
I think I prefer seeing our heroes as older rather than seeing them laid to rest.
