If you don't like Batman, wait till you see Amano's Superman ^_^;

Yeah, the two posters are actually supposed to go together. Batman's light side and Superman's dark side. They're supposed to be uncharacteristic:

Well... at leats Bats face is decent. Keeping the square jaw sets Batman apart from the pretty boys with pointy chins that are usually on this kinda art.

But man... oh man, I do not like the rest at all.

As much as this does NOT look like what Superman or Batman should look like, if someone forced me to put posters of any of them on the wall of my living room, I'd probably put these two there before any of the classical renditions. OK, maybe I'd opt for Moebius' Batman instead:

It goes both ways though. I would definitely not like to see any of these Amano's designs in the comic book.

If Amanos Superman was used in an animated movie of some sort, something involving Darkseid, that'd be bliss.
 
It's amazing how Batman is able to balance himself on the end of that flagpole with the tip of his left big toe.

And yeah, Superman does kind of look like a vampire.
 
Amano is the most overrated arist in the Japanese gaming scene. Thank God that by the time the art gets to the game it is in a completely different look and style.

Those pictures look like something you would find on the walls of a grade 8 art class...

Yeesh. Looks like I'm the only that actually likes the Batman design and think it could turn out to be some wicked looking/bizarre cartoon series if done right.

it probably has to do with the eyes

Amano's characters all seem to have some very distinct (though they're usually kinda like.. a slit) eyes. That Batman picture doesn't have that. So the viewer focus on the overall shape of the character instead - which is twisted and not very likable.

The more I look at the Superman one the more I like it. His cape is drawn like a petal.

Weird, I just noticed that there were two other supermen in that picture. I wonder if they're suppossed to be his robots.
