Superman Typograhpy
Best line – Lois Lane: Any more at home like you? Clark Kent: Uh, not really, no.
Batman Typograhpy
The best Batman quote comes from the Dark Knight, when the Joker explains how he got his scars. One of the explanations, at least – So I had a wife. She was beautiful, like you. Who tells me I worry too much. Who tells me I ought to smile more. Who gambles and gets in deep with the sharks. One day, they carve her face. And we have no money for surgeries. She can’t take it. I just want to see her smile again. I just want her to know that I don’t care about the scars. So… I stick a razor in my mouth and do this… to myself. And you know what? She can’t stand the sight of me! She leaves. Now I see the funny side. Now I’m always smiling!
Spiderman Typograhpy
Aunt May to Peter Parker – You do too much – college, a job, all this time with me… You’re not Superman, you know.
Captain America Typography
‘Because a strong man, who has known power all his life, will lose respect for that power. But a weak man knows the value of strength. And knows compassion.’
