You can tell Will Smith is a superhero because he has the gold-tinged reflection of a metropolis in his goggles, just like the old Spider-Man posters. And you can tell he's homeless because he's filthy and unshaven, like all bums.

The Pursuit of Sappyiness.

I realize I could have gone with the quick reference to the title of the movie but hell it just to easy.

Hancock's half dour.

Christ on a stick. What a horribly unflattering poster. Did they photoshop someone else's arse-mouthy lips on to Smith? Because he's completely unrecognizable.

Peter effing Berg needs to be STOPPED. NOW.

The first trailer looks like fun, or at least an interesting concept. What does a homeless superpowered person do all day? Is the smell of the superpowered homeless enhanced by superpowers? Wouldn't that make him an anti-hero?

Is that a Pterodactyl reflecting in his googles?

That movie looks like so much fun. Can't wait.

Looks like the same close-up that anyone I know who has every climbed a mountain has shown me. The reflection of the city in their glasses tells me they are lying.

Anybody notice how Caucasian they make him look in this poster? It's a good thing. I wouldn't want to watch a movie about a black homeless man. I see those on my way to work every day.

What make him look caucasian in the picture.... the brown skin..... the wide nose...... the brown full lips.......

Is he scouting for cans to put in his shopping cart?
