The hot new look for superheroes? The wifebeater, of course!

Wife_lLooking at the two images to the left, of Edward Norton and Robert Downey Jr., two things struck me:

1) I can’t wait for The Hulk and Iron Man. I’m really digging this whole talented-thespians-in-superhero-movies trend.

2) Apparently, Marvel superheroes are prone to wearing wifebeaters when making quasi-scientific advances.

‘Nuff said.

    Thanks for sending me home with those gorgeous images of Messrs. Norton and Downey. Mmmm…

  • Ria

    Edward Norton is so hot, I could watch him in anything. Ugh, I just love him. So talented and mysterious, I love that!

  • Jaime

    This look had been brought to us a long time ago with Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie) in The OC. . . He is the best looking superhero in a wife beater. The wifebeater was his signature outfit!!!!

  • Christa

    Edward Norton. Wifebeater. Mmmmmmm.

  • zoot

    you can put these two in as little as possible on screen and i’ll be just fine.

    Thank you for MAKING my Friday. Especially Edward Norton…my love for him began with Fight Club (wifebeater) and continued through The Painted Veil (wifebeater!).
    Seriously, he could read the phone book (preferably in a wifebeater) and I’d go see it.
    Robert Downey Jr. ain’t lookin’ so bad either.

    Jaime means Kid Chino with his fists of fury. but yes, exactly.

    Downey not so much, but I have a giant crush on Edward Norton. That said, he should put a real shirt of. Wifebeaters are gross.

    Er, “on”, not “of”

    That picture of Edward Norton is my new wallpaper. Downey wasn’t so bad himself. What the hell was the topic again?

  • sarah

    I prefer Edward Norton without the muscles and with blond hair. Those things made “Keeping the Faith” and “Red Dragon” worth it.

  • jaime

    Thank you Nix. . .so right!!!!

  • Lola

    Both of them look positively delicious.

    Uh,who cares about what these guys look like in wifebeaters? Don’t you goofy broads want to see how/if Downey and Norton can pull off being superheroes? I think Downey could make a convincing Tony Stark/Iron Man but Norton as Bruce Banner? It’s as miscast a role as Eric Bana was for the Hulk movie.
    See that ladies? THAT’S how you talk about superhero flicks,not about what they’re wearing.
    Goofy broads….
