Superman

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Superman like this! He got some gray while it seems Captain America went bald, poor guy. This painting is by Alex Ross who does artwork for DC Comics.

Sam Fisher

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Here’s my first post about a fictitious man, Sam Fisher. He is the main character in the Splinter Cell series of video games. Generally characters are young, even to the point of being teenagers, so it was nice when Sam came around to offer something different. Over time he has actually gotten younger, much to my dismay, and in the upcoming sequel he looks to be about 25. It was good while it lasted. I was hoping George Clooney would be chosen to play him in the inevitable movie, but now that is questionable.

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise dyed his hair for Collateral…or maybe he just stopped dying it, who knows. He plays a contract killer in the movie and I wonder if they chose this color for a reason – is it supposed to make him look more evil?
