Kick-Ass Poster: Aaron Johnson as Dave Lizewski

Here’s a new character poster for comic book adaptation “Kick-Ass” featuring Aaron Johnson as Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass.

“Kick-Ass” tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There¹s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage).

“Kick-Ass,” Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of the Mark Millar-John Romita Jr. mini-series, opens April 16, 2010.
