It’s been all over the mailing lists and the blogs, and now it’s here : Supermen Dönüyor, the Turkish version of Supermen [sic] Returns.
And if you can’t get enough, Beaucoup Kevin has Little Batman…

A DC Comics fan mixed clips from a wide array of films to create what could be a real JLA film trailer. I think I’d go and see it.
(Thanks, Christian)
The American Library Association uses superheroes to promote reading. Nice artwork by Alex Ross, available on posters and bookmarks.

This final batch was published to promote the DC firepower cards, and a set of cards featuring depictions of Marvel Superheroes by the Hildebrandt brothers, grandly called “Marvel Masterpieces”.
From Big Town #20, 1953.
From Sandman Presents : Petrefax # 4, 2000.

I immensely enjoy proofs of devoted fandom on the internet - websites dedicated to one tiny, particular aspect of comics (or any other object of fandom), with all minute details and obsessions included. Here’s an exampe : an exegesis of Superman’s Symbol, Shield, Logo and Its History! (That’s exclamation mark included, of course).
This labor of love deals with every form and format of the big diamond S, from its shield form up until the proliferation that plagues the current DC absurdiverse. Including, of course, my personal favorite : the Fleischer symbol, as featured in the cartoons from the 1940’s and shown above.

Not the most original of ideas, but I kinda like the naive quality to the illustrations. From Ads of the World, as ever.
Quite an amusing campaign by PC&V Communications from the Philippines. One in a series that also features a Darth Vader / Leia mashup, and a mix of Harry Potter and Hermione Griffin, but this one had the best execution. Cool logo too (once more, tip of the hat to Ads of the World) .
’nuff said.

A very simple ad, sublimely playing on the instant recognisability of Superman’s primary colors costume.
