Exo-Man 1977 And Iron Man 2008
I've seen this mistake time and time again. That's exo man not iron man.
Exo Man! I remember this was a made-for-television special and I was very impressed. I've spent the past 10 years or so trying to find any reference to it and there it is. Thank you!
Hulk 1978 And 2012
the old one....at least the old one was human and not computer image....
you're missing the point, the Hulk was never supposed to be human.
Load More Replies...Lou Ferigno was probably about the best you could hope for in a live-action Hulk.
yeah, same person but without CGI compared to another
Load More Replies...Nice.. I always wondered how the pants can somewhat stretch to that size..especially in the cgi version....
Thor 1978 And 2015
The new Thor is prettier....wait...is a Norse God suppose to be pretty?
The old ones costum looks more like what a Viking would wear with the he fur and leather. The new Thor is just a little to shiny and tidy for a Viking.
Yet the old one is more faithful to his comic counterpart than the new one
I just googled it and Eric Allen Cramer aka bob Duncan from good luck Charlie played Thor who new
Wolverine 2000 And 2013
I spotted hours of free weights. I can see wolverene in the gym now....
Superman 1948 And 2016
Hey!!! He finally discovered where the underwear goes!
Are you kidding? I go for door number 2. My dream hero in a red cape and black "body armor " suspended high above the rest of humanity. Swoon!
Whatever happend to Christopher Reeve?... The skipped at least two generations ofr Supermen...
After 3 decades of fighting crime..finally can fly and lost some weight..
Catwoman 1966 And 2012
Julie Newmar is the queen in this role. No one can out catwoman her
The left one is sexy and sly, the right one is just a cold heartless killing machine.
Spider-Man 1977 And 2016
In 1977 he was like the villain in the furst captain America (red skull) hhhh
You couldn't have chosen a photo where he wasn't holding captain america's shield?
Batman 1943 And 2016
in Slovakia we have batman like 1943 version. It's squatter and he's chasing thugs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZwdTJQl3yk
For me the last and final Batman was Christian Bale. Why Sri even showing us Ben Affleck. He sucked S predicted and hopefully his performance will be quickly forgotten and we can go back to properly remembering Christopher Nolan's 3 movies.
Wonder Woman 1975 And 2017
The new suit does have colours, it's just the lighting. But I do agree, it definitely needs more colour.
Load More Replies...I'm glad they changed her costume. She's an Amazon, she shouldn't be dressed like Captain America. Now she's dressed like the badass she is and less sexualized!
Really? I prefer the 2016, she looks stronger. The 1975 wonder woman looks almost anorexic. Definitely not a strong female icon.
they are both great. very appropriate for their eras! Have to move with the times people
I prefer the new one only because she looks much more fierce. ..like an amazon warrior. ..
Another One They messed up. Wonder woman's outfit was her trademark look. They made her look like a cheap Xena
Joker 1966 And 2016
The 2016 is so ugly and lame... Like a pseudo rap gangsta white man joker...
Load More Replies...They should have included the other Jokers, like Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger.
The best was the one played by Heath Ledger. You can't get better than this.
Hulk And Thor 1988 And 2012
Doctor Strange 1978 And 2016
Captain America 1990 And 2016
All of these have made me realize that our super heroes are losing their patriotism. Like wonder woman and captain America. Idk maybe it's just me.
Cap's suit is usually patriotic, that pic is just him in his stealth suit from the winter soldier. In AOU and Civil war he's back in his regular suit
Load More Replies...Robocop 1987 And 2014
The original was much better. The new one looks more like a rubber fetish suit.
But you have to admit, the new helmet is wicked
Load More Replies...the original feels timeless... and that's what design is all about
ohh...the one from 1978 was my childhood favorit...i loved to watch those movies...this new one...is a c**p..
Power Rangers 1993 And 2017
The Penguin 1966 And 1992
Nick Fury 1998 And 2012
I almost forgot that Nick Fury was played by none other than The Hoff himself.
Nick fury in the comics is white ....imagine making a black character white ? Interesting how people would react
so far this is the only one that i can really get behind the new guy.
Don't like the new one but that's because of the actor... Thinking of it, I didn't like the old one either...
The Flash 1990 And 2016
Did you guys know that in the TV show the "old" flash is Berry's dad who is the new flash crazy right
John Wesley Shipp is the 1990 Flash and played Henry Allen, Barry Allen Flash's father in the new series. I think the call back is cool.
Supergirl 1984 And 2015
The older one had longer legs and bigger boobs.
Load More Replies...Somehow original (older one) looks more like supergirl to me :)
The old one is clearly Sarah Pascoe's mum. Also the neighbourhood has been ruined by economic progress...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1993 And 2016
Am I the only one who used to get freaked out by the old ones? No? Just me?
Lol the old ones look like mutant clones of Barney! Or like they were rejects on Sesame Street.
So then, would you consider yourself a reject if your name says "I am the mockingjay?":)
Load More Replies...The Punisher 1989 And 2015
Don't know who is the guy on the right. Thomas Jane rocks.
Load More Replies...Jon Bernthal's performance as the Punisher in the 2nd season of Daredevil was OUTSTANDING. He made the character badass, yet relatable and tragic. So my vote is on him :)
I like the work of the 2015 actor but.... 1989 looks very good :p
Fantastic Four 1994 And 2015
The 1994 version looks like they are about to break into a cheerleading routine.
Like this one the most: http://cdn.hallels.com/data/images/full/5037/fantastic-four-reboot.jpg?w=620
Daredevil 2003 And 2016
2003 has better costume, much more like devil and logically it can be wore easily by a blind man. The new one looks a lot like Captain America in winter soldier
You guys missed the 1987 version of Daredevil, played by Rex Smith in the TV movie 'Trial of the Incredible Hulk'.
may i just say, this was fun, but the "lot's" on the FIRST LINE was kinda off-putting. jesus.
#3 That Thor is from 1988... not 1978. (The Incredible Hulk Returns - TV Movie)
Daredevil and Flash was defnetly an downgrade, the "old" versions are way better and Jared Leto is the worst Joker of all time
Need to make a new Xena movie with Lucy Lawless! I am sure she can kick a*s still! That would be one epic come back! F**k all these comic shits!
