SupermenFilm Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Why is there a skinny, pale, bleached blond kid on a ladder grabbig a belt.....on the poster.....That's not a superman, that's a high school kid anybody could beat. Very bad marketing poster.The idea behind the title is that wrestlers are often perceived as over the top, or larger than life, and indeed the nature of what they do is hyper-real. As Danny and Marty say in the teaser, these were heroes and larger than life characters. Seeing fans respond to wrestlers at shows, even smaller wrestlers like Mark Andrews, you can still see that same feeling with people.So Supermen isn't named after a certain muscle-mass or weight category, its people that achieved a dream.
