The Boys Honest Trailer
Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, and Batman all get extremely dark revamps as original superheroes in this series based on the comic written by Garth Ennis and co-created, designed, and illustrated by Darick Robertson. It has all the superpowers you’d expect from comic book superheroes, but with an insane amount of corrupt and devious behavior, and buckets of blood. Seriously, the super speedy one runs through the main character’s girlfriend and she just explodes in a blood splatter.
It’s hard to imagine a world where our favorite superheroes are controlled by a mega corporation that’s only using them for capitalist gain. We’re thankful that in the real world there isn’t some kind of mega media conglomerate that owns a massive slate of superheroes who can be used to sell anything and everything. What would it even be like if we had to endure endless superhero movies every single year as other smaller movies fell by the wayside? Again, we’re just glad we don’t have to worry about that.
