looks good but kinda flat for the moment, try having much darker shading and much lighter highlights, it really helps the image pop out!

take care

At first glance I'd say you're not following the form and the way light would hit them here from your light source entirely. Where is your light source coming from? Determine where it is and then work the shadows and highlights accordingly. In part your shadows are not dark enough here so it looks like everything is being lit up from different directions. Using white as your highlights doesn't work either especially when you've rendered everything in the same way. metal, cloth and skin look different under the same light. Here you're trying too hard to make the individual muscles stand out instead of thinking of them as a form not just of the biceps, triceps, quads, forearms, abs, etc. I'd also suggest using blue for Supes and WW's hair, this makes them look like they are old.
