Description

Very happy to add this beautiful
pencil piece by Tom Grummett,
featuring the World's Finest at odds.

This 2004 piece looks a lot like the
main poster for the 2016 movie
Batman V Superman.
Tom Grummett got mentioned in the end
credits (along other creators such as
Dan Jurgens); I wonder if he was mentioned
due to his part in the Death Of Superman
or for the creation of this piece or for both.

The composition is quite simple and can be seen
as a common trope, but the specific slight
up shot and details make me wonder.

What do you think ?

I agree, this beautiful piece must have some connection with the Batman v Superman movie project. Given how slow Hollywood moves sometimes, the powers-that-be were probably contemplating this movie theme back then. Nice add!

As you say, Gal, two characters facing off is an extremely common trope and the odds that the movie people had ever laid eyes on a random convention sketch makes me think Grummett was mentioned due to his part in the Death Of Superman. But that aside, who cares? All that matters in my mind is that it's a great looking illustration of the Big Two facing off and the camera angle really heightens the power and drama! Kudos on acquiring it.

I think they'll solve all this tension with just a friendly fist bump? ;)

Gorgeous face-off of Batman and Superman by the incredibly talented Tom Grummett. It does look like the movie poster but regardless, it's a beautifully rendered pairing of DC's two biggest heroes. I love the slight upward angle on the pair, it really accentuates their power and strength. The expressions on their faces are perfect, each one checks the other out in a silent confrontation. I love that each holds up one clenched fist, as if to say "You start something, I'll finish it." Beautiully composed and artfully pencilled. Too bad he didn't ink it--It would be nice to have it fully finished. Great pick-up, congrats!
