Superhero overload

After the arrival of Batman to the silverscreen, a series of comic book superheroes made their debut in Hollywood. Spiderman, Hellboy, Xmen, Fantastic Four, Van Helsing, Daredevil and Hulk come to my mind and I'm sure I missed many and even more to come.
Superheros are not only popular in Hollywood. They also made it to advertising, as this award winning ad for Volkswagen ad shows from 2004 and another one featured in Archive from Prague showing a drunk superhero.
Superheros are especially big in Indian advertising. I've received at least 10 campaigns in the last 2 month featuring superheros advertising different product.
You must have seen the famous ads from 1pointsize featuring Batman, Superman and Spiderman. Ads of the World also featured another typo superhero campaign from Piyush Pandei's table featuring Superman, Tarzan and He-man.
Can't get enough? Check out the ad created by art director Pallav Medhi and copywriter Kapil Rana at the Dentsu Marcom, New Delhi agency for Daikin AC company. Finally, see the Spiderman, Phantom and Batman illustrations of art director Pawan Pathak from BEI Confluence Communication, Delhi India for iRiver.
