Superheroes
Live-action adaptation of Japanese-produced animated movie has an extremely ambitious performance schedule.
Even Thanos would struggle to down this awesome drink themed after six iconic characters from the movie.
It took years for the Internet to notice our video, but now it’s a global hit, especially in one unexpected country.
The world’s greatest detective swaps his cowl for a kabuto in tie-up with 208-year-old Tokyo crafting company.
The mere sight of this feudal Japanese shadow hero will strike fear into the hearts of criminals.
Batman shows he’s equally comfortable taking part in a tea ceremony or trying to cut Samurai Warlord Joker down with a katana.
DC takes a page from Marvel’s playbook by teaming up with local artist to promote its franchises in Japan.
From Harley Quinn terrorising Captain America to Deadpool stealing Thor’s hammer, these creative scenes are brimming with superhero personality.
Will station staff let him give up his kaiju monster-fighting days and allow him to commute like an ordinary Japanese salaryman?
So Saitama, Superman, Batman, Captain America and Iron Man all walk into a bar. What happens next is a little messy.
We don’t know what it is about huge companies these days, but they really like to make us feel the feels recently. When did they all have a financial meeting and decide to spend money on making us cry? These commercials are emotional, beautiful and give us hope that even with all the bad in the world, moments of undeniable good can still be found and cherished.
Inspired by true events, this commercial really gives off a “Humans of New York” vibe even though it’s an advertisement for life insurance. Get your tissues ready because, when children show how much they care about their parents, it really warms the cockles of our hearts.
There are some people out there who aren’t afraid to take their fandom to a whole new level. Take Somchai Nitimongkolchai from Thailand, for example, who opened up a museum dedicated to his most favorite superhero of all time – the one and only Batman.
The unique thing about this exhibit, though, is that everything in the museum is part of Somchai’s very own private collection of over 50,000 pieces, including one-of-a-kind figures, posters, a LEGO-replica of Gotham City, and yes, of course, even the Batmobile.
