Sean Hartter's Superhero Movie Posters from Alternate Universes

Email This

Graphic artist Sean Hartter has taken the Web trend of re-designing movie posters a few steps further by creating a huge series of posters for geek-based films starring some of history's greatest film stars, all in an authentic period style. Among Hartter's inspired designs are The Punisher starring Jack Palance; Daredevil starring William Shatner; The Maxx starring Sylvester Stallone; Batman: The Joker's Five-Way Revenge with John Barrymore and Lon Chaney; and Watchmen with Peter Fonda, Brigitte Bardot, Max von Sydow, Paul Newman, Lenny Bruce and Anthony Perkins (directed by John Frankenheimer!). Surely, Grant Morrison and time travel phoographer Steven Cook would be proud.

All of Hartter's posters are for sale for $16.00. You can see some of our favorites after the jump.

David Bowie and Christopher Walken, in Batman. Dance, magic dance.

I want to see most of these movies, at least once. 12 Sandwiches.

Awesome! Some of this characters didn't even exist when the movies got released!

Cool stuff, although I prefer the ones using actors/filmmakers who were actually working during the 1970s to match the 1970s style of the posters. And I'd have wanted the original 1970s skull emblem on the Punisher, which was much cooler than what came after.

HA, William Shatner as Daredevil. The sheer concept is gold.

I think the first three are my favorite. Although I could've sworn that Wolverine was Tom Selleck.

Man, it's a shame that John Barrymore and Lon Chaney never did that Batman movie.

I hear Barrymore was so drunk he threw a batarang at the director and fell thru the BatSignal set piece. Cheney called him a brat and walked.

Oh man, I really really wish some of these movies were real. Specifically Plastic Man, The Maxx, the Matrix and especially Batman starring Chris Walken and David Bowie, with music by Ennio Morricone. Goddamn, what an amazing movie this would have been.

None of you have noticed the man in the middle figure on the punisher poster, I wonder?

He's Berlusconi! LOL

Superb redesigns! My fave is the Jack Palance as The Punisher. Would have worked on so many levels.

These are great, though the Wolverine one is a little... unsubtle where it's just like, "He's the best there is at what he does... WHICH IS KILLING!" Clint Eastwood would be awesome as Wolverine though.
