That's the impression I get from this image, from the Ethen Beavers-drawn, Bill Wrecks-written DC Super Friends: Batman Little Golden Book. I recently picked up both it and its companion book Superman by the same team, and they are gorgeous-looking. The story's are no great shakes—I'd recommend Ralph Consentino's picture books about these two heroes over these Little Golden Books—but the artwork is pretty superb, and Beavers makes me like the big-foot Super Friends designs more than just about any other artist I've seen tackle them (excepting only J. Bone, I think).

I have a theory that the reason this sort of artwork emphasises the feet is so that Rob Liefeld will feel too intimidated to ever join them. A bit like including an eye test in the job interview to prevent Helen Keller from getting the job.
