More posters for Kick-Ass? Yep, we're going to get one of these for every damn character in the movie. I think Hit Girl is up next after this one! UGO has debuted a new character poster for Kick-Ass featuring Big Daddy on it. Big Daddy is another costumed hero played by Nicolas Cage in the movie (he's look kind of like Batman, right?). His daughter is Hit Girl, played by Chloe Moretz, and they form a ragtag vigilante team that is actually very efficient and quite brutal, unlike Kick-Ass. In related news, UGO also has a clip featuring Big Daddy. The film also just screened recently and Peter from SlashFilm said "Kick-Ass kicked everyone's ass."
Kick-Ass is both written and directed by British filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, of Layer Cake and Stardust previously. The screenplay was co-written by Vaughn and his writing partner Jane Goldman, of Stardust as well. The story is an adaptation of Mark Millar's comic of the same name that is currently in the middle of its first series. Kick-Ass was funded entirely by Matthew Vaughn and his own private investors and sold once finished to Lionsgate earlier this year. They've currently set an April 16th, 2010 release date for the film, although I hope they change that, because that's a terrible opening day. Who's already planning to see this?

that is the ultimate batman rip off - but maybe that's the point, to be so blatant

perhaps the costume will control the flighty hand movements of Mr Cage. This movie should be great! like the costumes so far.

The only issue I have so far is that this costume is nothing like it was in the comic book. All the others are simply amazing

Nic Cage needs to dip his head in lava!!

I think i agree with most of you that the point is for the costume to look like batman's, maybe to mock the superhero genre, because that costume looks so mch like batman, if you threw a bat symbol on it it could probably pass as batman.

Well... it's official: Mark Millar cannot adapt his comics for film. First he signs off on a version of Wanted that has next to nothing to do with the actual book, and now his take on real-world crimefighters includes Nic Cage in an obviously fabricated costume. If he's willing to change something as significant as the character's look, what other corners did they cut in the movie?

Uh, we get it, entirely. Its Nic Cage and it all looks like shit, regardless of any "point" the poster may be trying to make.

I think #16 is correct, you guys just need to chill and give it a shot. Did anyone see that video clip???? OMG i want to see that movie now! If that one clip is any indication of how dark and twistedly f'ked up someone can be...then I'm for it!!!! Oh and no sh!t, it's suppose to be a rip off of Batman damn get of yourself you f'king comic nerd and live alittle!!!! No one seemed to talk much crap about QT when he made all those Bruce Lee and etc. references in Kill Bill? So what's the difference? April can't get here soon enough.

Personally I hate that LIONSGATE would pluck a rival studio's ten year old Adam Sandler title [COUMBIA with BIG DADDY, the film that won Sandler to the longtime freindship with Columbia/Sony. However it does ;look fun andf different than the Sandler film, and now that I know who's playing in it [Nicholas Cage], and read above about what's it about, I am kind of looking forward to this..
