About

Handsome Face is an exploitable cartoon character based on a still-shot of an effeminate-looking Superman. Many iterations of the series are also accompanied by an irresolute phrasal template "X(subject addressed), I…" (See also fsjal, Draw Yourself, X Grab My Y).

Origin

The face comes from the DC Comics animated film Superman/Batman: Apocalypse^[1] that was released in 2010. It can be seen in the following clip where Superman introduces his cousin to Batman:

Spread

Still images from the cartoon are often found on 4chan's /co/ (comics and cartoons) board. The images were altered and began being accompanied with the fragmented phrasal template, "X, I…" Since its emergence on 4chan's imageboards, the drawing fad has spread over to various hubsites like FunnyJunk^[2], DeviantArt^[3], Tumblr^[4] and MemeGenerator.^[5]
