Captain America movie poster and Civil War

In the spirit of Bleeding Cool's "Swipe File," here's the newly released poster for Captain America: The First Avenger:

My first impulse was that it was similar to the famous "Cap's pissin' behind his shield: pose from the wonder Michael Turner (RIP) piece for Civil War:

But now I think it resembles more this "death of Captain America" art, with his hands in front of the shield:

Confession: I was actually very excited about the Civil War similarity, because I just happen to have ordered this shirt yesterday.

(Speaking of Civil War, be sure to check out my chapter titled "Did Iron Man Kill Captain America?" in Iron Man and Philosophy: Facing the Stark Reality, where I discuss the morality of Iron Man's activities during that time, focusing in particular on his various discussions with Cap from books like Iron Man/Captain America: Casualties of War.)
