InDC Comics , Supermanhas his clean share of clones , but none of them are as strange asBizarro . Intended to be the gloomy " mirror image " of Superman , down to the backwards House of El crest on his suit , Bizarro is known as a lumbering oaf whose existence often make out off as a gag . But a fresh piece of fan art from artist Christian Ward gives Bizarro a striking resemblance toactor Henry Cavill , thereby challenging fans ' innovation of the fiber .
produce in 1958 by Otto Binder and George Papp , Bizarro is normally depicted as a Lex Luthor ’s failed clon of Superman . With his sick Zane Grey skin , childlike mannerisms , and divorce sentences with lines like " Me am Bizarro , " the character fend in stark contrast to Superman ’s public image . And while Bizarro has gone on to forge his own path in DC Comics , most notably as a extremity ofRed Hood ’s Outlaws teamduringRebirth , it is fair to say that he has n’t completely escaped the silliness of his Golden Age origin for many fans .

OnTwitter , creative person Christian Ward ( @cjwardart ) posted a art object that radically reimagines Bizarro , highlighting how the character is a more complex reflexion of the Superman mythos when his looking at are n’t meant to be a punchline . This Bizarro resemble a more skeletal version of Henry Cavill ’s Superman , departing from previous blueprint of the fiber that have give him aHulk - like appearing . While Ward ’s Bizarro still exert an uncanny element appropriate for his status as a Superman knockoff , evident in his twisted feature , the artwork makes the case for why Bizarro should be realise as a tragical persona .
Superman ’s clones bring to light a dark aspect about his influence in the DC Universe , where his aspirational nature breathe in morally - dubious scientific attack to animate what has made him so iconic . Bizarro ’s past characterization as an " vile " reading of Superman makes him into a prank that distracts from the larger significance of the character . Ward ’s Bizarro , in contrast , shows how the role can be used as a litmus test for determining how heroism is formed by the broad public .
Because he is n’t show as a hulking joke , Ward ’s Bizarro presents a much more tragic vision of the character , which can be roughly tot up in his consideration : by portion out so many elements of a recognizable , palatableSuperman , Bizarro show just how strange the arbitrary lines of gallantry are in the first spot . Bizarrohas yet to be seen in the DCEU , but Ward ’s art pretend for a compelling cause why he should be brought to life as a tragic figure , instead of a silly one .
