XXX RIPPED OFF ALEX ROSS

An old peeve recently resurfaced and I thought I'd share. The designers for the xXx movie poster must have been comic fans because they totally ripped off an ALEX ROSS sketch of Batman. Check it out! And yes, Alex Ross did in fact do the sketch well before the xXx movie was in production. xXx was the first film I worked on and when they announced the poster, I remember immediately thinking, "er.... that looks really familiar!" and then finding that Alex Ross sketch a few weeks later in my "Geek Library" at home. Regardless, that's a pretty kickass Batman sketch, ain't it?!!
