Photoshop Fun: The Last Airbender’s Aang and Smallville’s Lex Luthor
I didn’t spend a lot of time on this. I meant to do more to match the lighting on Aang, but with limited time to land a joke, I just quickly threw this together. The sources are the first picture of Aang from The Last Airbender, and a picture I found of Lex Luthor from [...]
