Nighthawks Popular references and parodies

Nighthawks has been widely referenced and parodied in popular culture. Versions of it have appeared on posters, T-shirts, and greeting cards, as well as in comic books and advertisements. Typically, these parodies — like Helnwein’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams, which became a popular poster– retain the diner and the highly recognizable diagonal composition of Nighthawks, but replace the patrons and attendant with other characters.
