Superb Superhero Movies And Comics Mashup

If you are a superhero fan, I am sure you know that all the superheros movie franchise like Spiderman, Ironman, Thor, Captain America etc... are originated from Marvel's Comic books dated back to 60s and 70s.

How would it look like if there is a crossover between the original comics characters and the movie scene? I think it would be pretty cool. In fact, an artist named Butcher Billy has created an art series that replaces live-action Marvel movie superheroes/villains with classic comic book characters. The series is called "The Superhero Media Crossover Project". That's it! Seeing is believing!

As per Billy, the reason for his creation are....(source: GeekTyrant):

It’s easy to forget how much the comic stylings of the 60’s and 70’s have inspired modern films and just how timeless those two-dimensional, spandex-clad superheroes can be. This series replaces live action with the lines they were born from, interlacing cinematography with storyboard.

Now! Enjoy 10 of the art pieces from Butcher Billy...

Marvel vs DC Superheroes Movies, who win in US Box Office? [Infographic]

Alright, we all know that superhero movies are mainly come from two super-houses, Marvel and DC. If we were to take a stock (basing on the US Box Office) from way back to 1960s where the superheroes first made it mainstream in the cinema, who will win the battle?

In 2012 alone, the biggest battle is between The Avengers (Marvel) and The Dark Knight Rises (DC). The Avengers won the match by about $174 mil (see the infographic below for actual figures). How does other superhero movies like Superman, Hulk, Fantastic Four, Iron Man etc... fair? Check out the infographic below (source: fancydresscostume.co.uk) for detailed breakdowns. Yes, it is no surprise that Marvel comes out as the overall winner, at least for now.

As this is only the US Box Office, it will be interesting if someone can do a stock take on the international box office, wonder whether the result will be of any different? Meanwhile, enjoy the infographic below!
