Iron Man!
I love the two new Iron Man posters. Why?
The problem with some comic characters is that the two identities seem, more or less, like the same person. This often changes over time (Batman becomes darker and darker, Bruce Wayne becomes more vapid) as comics mature, but much of the time it doesn’t. Mask or no-mask, its the same person. Even the brilliance of the Spider-man movies didn’t quite work this for me. That may be because, in my mind, why would you EVER go back to being Parker?
But look at these images. Look at Stark and then at the imposing, but separate, inhuman presence of Iron Man. Just like the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale Batman, the alter-ego is a force unto itself, existing almost on its own.
What might be interesting to see in Iron Man would be this splitting of the two identities. I’m anxious to see Stark grow into Iron Man, and then have Iron Man grow apart from Stark. The two lives may simply not integrate very well, all things considered.

As I understand it, if Iron Man does well, there’s a planned crossover with Dragon Wars and, of course, S.O.A.P.
