If Only A Game With Pixel Batman And Pixel Wolverine Actually Existed…
Let us once again reflect on the beauty that comes with limitation. These blocky renderings of world-famous superhero characters manage to convey just what works about each character design, despite the lack of detail that Cyclops, Superman or Spider-Man are usually drawn with.
