Ahead of its third season in June, Amazon’s The Boys released a new set of character posters parodying another superhero. Comicbook.com captured the anti-hero heroes posters via social media as The Boys’ main cast remixed various Batman film posters, including this year’s latest release, The Batman. View the five variations below.
According to Comicbook.com, The Boys’ fearsome five are included in the new posters, starting with Karen Fukuhara’s (Stray, Suicide Squad) silent assassin known as The Female. She mimics the newest Batman film, starring Robert Pattinson (The Lighthouse, Tenet) as the Caped Crusader, while giving fans the bird.

Next is serial hero movie costar, Karl Urban’s (Thor, Dredd) Billy Butcher, the leader of the Boys ensemble. Urban has taken on Christian Bale’s (The Prestige, American Beauty) first Batflick, Batman Begins, from director Christopher Nolan (Momento, Inception). Urban is followed by Tomer Kapon (When Heroes Fly, One Week a Day) who plays Frenchie. His poster pulls its inspiration from the 1993 animated film, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

The posters are rounded out by the show’s Hughie and Mother’s Milk, played by Jack Quaid (Scream, Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Laz Alonso (Jumping the Broom, Traffik) respectively. Quaid’s Hughie mimics the Val Kilmer (Top Gun: Maverick, Heat) film, Batman Forever, a live-action movie that centered the Riddler prior to Matt Reeves’ (Cloverfield, War of the Planet of the Apes) version. Alonso channels the original in Tim Burton’s (Edward Scissorhands) Batman with the gold-tinged font. Michael Keaton (Dopesick, Batman Returns) starred in the 1989 film and will reprise his role within the current DCEU.

While season three is still months away, fans of the TV series can currently enjoy The Boys: Diabolical, an animated spin-off of shorts within the same universe. The show will also deliver its first official spinoff set at a university where future supes train in a Hunger Games-esque environment.
Season three of The Boys is set to premiere on June 3 on Amazon Prime Video.
