In honor of Comic Con, it’s only right that we who aren’t joining in the festivities at least get in the spirit a bit. After all, “nerd culture” like that surrounding comics books and graphic novels, has become pretty widely appreciated in recent years, going from a subculture to a force to be reckoned with both on the Web and IRL. And who doesn’t like to feel “super” now and then? These portraits entitled “Like A Sir” by artist Berk Senturk transport you right to the pages of your favorite stories by depicting the superest of superheroes as timeless portraits. Check out more below! 

Why, Batman, I love what you’ve done with your facial hair. He does really look like a sir, doesn’t he? Check out a handful more of these epic adaptations in the gallery, and even more at Buzzfeed!

Would you have a superhero portrait in your humble abode? (I would!)
