Superheroes Play Elevator Is Lava In These Gorgeous Illustrations
Our favorite superheroes from the comic-books usually define what we wish to be in our lives. For some, it’s a strong sense of justice by which they abide, and for others, it’s about becoming the symbol of hope. Since their inception, comic books and superheroes have both become a perfect medium for entertainment and education. From exploring sensitive and pervasive issues of racism, minority rights, female emancipation to facing existential threats in classic comic-book thrillers, superheroes have fought, failed, and triumphed. Throw a stack of overwhelming odds to your favorite superheroes, and chances are they will find a way to win. Despite battling some of the greatest threats, both abstract and real, superheroes for some inexplicable reason are really scared to use the elevator.
Though superheroes mostly fight the good fight, from a legal perspective they operate outside the jurisdiction of law and order. Yes, Batman is important for Gotham City. But by being a vigilante, he also breaks dozens of rules every night. Apart from the usual mockery of the inept law enforcers, our favorite superheroes blatantly flout the laws of physics and the ones surrounding damaging public property.
Yes, being a superhero is undoubtedly a tough task. Risking your life every day to fight bad guys is not everyone’s cup of tea. But for once, for the sake of public safety and taxpayers’ money, can superheroes use the elevator or the stairs instead of damaging property to reach the top floor?
Whatever the reason might be for superheroes treating the elevator like lava, here are 5 gorgeous illustrations of superheroes openly disregarding the concerns of construction workers who have to clean their mess almost every day.
