13 Beautiful Arts That Reimagine Marvel & DC Superheroes As Chivalrous Samurai And Medieval Knights

Way before the Marvel and DC superheroes era, we have mystical legends about powerful samurai and knights who conquer new lands, and fight big bad monsters and notorious enemies to unite the whole kingdom. In a way, these samurai and knights are their own era’s superheroes, and have inspired some modern-day super characters as well. For example, Deadpool from Marvel and Katana from DC both wield the iconic Japanese sword, while Black Knight’s overall design is inspired by a King Arthur era’s Roundtable Knight. 

And in this modern day and age, anything is possible thanks to some AI magic. In these 13 detailed arts generated by artificial intelligence, Redditor u/zombiekjt has combined the two worlds into one, with both Marvel and DC iconic heroes reimagined into medieval time knights and samurai, and the results are quite astonishing.
