RobotMan, i have been tinkering with a type for this super hero for a while, it kinda just entered my head one day and wha la! RobotMan was born.
Although i have never heard of a character named Robot Man, apparently there was one created years ago who appeared with a super hero gang named Doom Patrol (they fought along side Batman???), this is his bio;

Robotman is one of the founding members of the Doom Patrol along with Negative Man and Elasti-Girl. He is unique in that he is the only character to appear in every version of the Doom Patrol.[1]
Cliff Steele became Robotman after a race car accident destroyed his body (a retcon had the accident intentionally caused by Niles Caulder). Caulder subsequently placed Cliff's intact brain into a robotic body. After the operation, Cliff suffered from frequent depression because he viewed himself as less than human. A background serial in Doom Patrol #s 100, 101, 103 & 105 (December 1965 – August 1966) indicated that Caulder made a mistake in the operation that caused Steele to go on a rampage, which was corrected when he was recruited for the Patrol. (These are incompatible with Cliff's flashback in My Greatest Adventure #80) info from Wikipedia


Wonder what Negative Man powers were???? (i may know him!!!) anyway, i designed this movie like poster and had an idea of designing movie posters that never were (or may be were?) and have them printed an framed. and display them on a website named 'Now Showing'
The poster design was created by me (except for the image of RobotMan), i created the type for 'Robot' as well as 'the RM'  logo
