Why So Serious? Superhero Movie Tag-lines 2001 – 2008

More great tag-lines, from the Age of Superheroes Triumphant!

Although, I must admit, these tag-lines a bit less individual and much less fun than the tag-lines of the earlier, golden age.

You get the feeling, reading these, that they’ve been tested by focus group, polls and committee.  Still, some of these examples manage to transcend the obvious or expected, and achieve something fun.

A few, like The Incredibles‘ “No Gut, No Glory,” even manage to be memorable.
