"In this series, sculptor Adrian Tranquilli shows us the rarely seen, vulnerable side of our favorite superheroes."

"Tranquilli wanted to focus less on the heroes’ superpowers and psychic abilities, and more on their human fragility. As a result, Batman is positioned on his knees looking for answers while Superman is coming out of the wall injured and bloody."










Thought these were cool.

The top two images of the Superman sculptures are very Jesus on the Cross-ish. I'm not sure how I feel about that, though the sculptures themselves look very well crafted.

Yeah, but to be fair, we do glorify superheroes as being a type of deity with superhuman powers that they use to save people, same as Jesus did.

I like the Batman one the most; the lighting sets a dark, pensive mood.
