Applied Illustration: What's been done already?

With Robocop being a firm film favourite, and one that holds fond memories of being a 10/11 year old, was first 18Certificate flick i ever saw,at a mates house.He'd recorded it off Sky Movies back in the early days when no normal people could afford Sky. I investigated into what sort of existing designs had already been produced in an attempt to avoid inadvertently creating something that looked the same as another artists efforts. After a while of trawling through examples i could tell that this wouldn't be an easy task, as it appears so many people have already made Robocop poster art (commissioned or fan art), in their own particular 'style'. 

Looking at them (some rather more accomplish than others) I'm struggling to think of a way that i could bring anything new or different to the existing back catalog of designs.

The more i researched the more i thought, "is this even a proper idea. Is it even an idea?" I'm finding it hard to work out what this module is really about. If we don't physically have to make the end proposed product, then we could propose anything that would be totally unrealistic and unachievable. If it all comes down to concept, (and it usually does) then I'm going to be in trouble again, because i'm not sure making posters for Mondo is a concept - it's just a dream commission.
