Objectification of Women in comic books

This is a movie poster from the third part of Spiderman’s trilogy directed by Sam Raimi in 2007. In addition to the usual red and blue costume in this poster Spiderman appears in dark black suit which shows his dark inner side. The hero of the city who always was a lifesaver will battle other side of himself, and the only sentence above the poster “the greatest battle lies within” intensifies that too. The greatest battle lies within the good spider man and bad, dark and selfish Spiderman. Standing in a corner from one side shows he does not want to show himself completely, and from the other side shows his anger and his crave for attack. Cloudy and rainy sky background shows that something really dark and challenging is going to happen. The shiny sun behind the clouds repeats the main point of the poster which is goodness covered by darkness. Finally number 3 represents that this is going to be the third part of the movie.
