girl: probably Carol as Captain Marvel like you did, Wonder Woman for sure and maybe SHe hulk? donno...

for a boy, NO Batman. too dark. Only later in life. For now, Spider-man, Superman and maybe IronMan/Flash/Tim Drake

EDIT: After seeing the runner up list, Jubilee would be nice (pre vamp obviously)

I'd probably go with team posters for the X-Men, Avengers and JLA "this way they can choose as they get older or if they aren't into comics I can keep them", but just if I have to choose three solo images than for a girl; Wonder Woman, Storm, and probably Captain America. Boy Captain America, Wonder Woman and Spiderman. I want them to see heroes as all genders and not just boys have to like boy heroes and girls have to like girl heroes. Also I don't want to force one company over the other on them just because I prefer Marvel. So a little bit of everything.

Oh and congrats!

I couldn't find a good image from Batman the Animated Series, but I would consider doing something from that to avoid being too dark for a nursery. Animated Batman still makes time to watch Christmas movies with Robin during their time off.

Yeah, as I said in the post, there's no particular reason you need to match genders to the kid. Although for a girl I'd want them to know there were many female role models to choose from—I wouldn't be concerned that they'd have a hard time finding male characters. If I were going to mix, I'd probably do something like:

• Peter Parker
• Cassandra Cain
• Carol Danvers

And yeah, teams or team-ups were definitely something I considered. If I were doing that, I'd probably go with:

• Bat-Family
• Original X-Men
• New Avengers

That would hit most of the characters I care about.

Oh and congrats!

Thanks!

Yeah, that would work. Or possibly the Batman & Robin from DC: New Frontier. Darwyn Cooke art is always welcome and it looks pretty up-beat.

We now know it's a boy. I'm now thinking that I know I want at least:

• Spider-Man
• Captain Marvel (Danvers)

Thing is, I can get these characters in one print.

So I'll have to think on if I like this shot enough.

I'd go for the iconic characters if I was choosing them.e.g. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman.

I think it'd be ok to get posters for most heroes if they were animated versions, such as Brave and the bold Batman or Ultimate Spiderman.
