It’s been a while. Here’s a Batman.

The conversation with @Michael_Cho makes me realize how lame my image of Batman is and makes me want to rethink how I draw him.
What for, I don’t know.
Also, just realized that what I just drew is like that fucking sterotypical moody album cover.

As great and iconic as I think Brian Bolland’s version of the Joker is, whenever I drew him I’m always trying to recapture the feeling of unease and complete insanity that Dave McKean managed to communicate on every page of Arkham Asylum.

Here’s my version of the World’s Finest team: Batman & Superman. Here’s what they would be if given free reign.
I always thought that Batman and Superman worked best during the era they came from–the 40’s. That was a time when evil was more concrete and defeat-able. I think part of the problem with setting their stories in our time is that true evil these days can’t be defeated with fists, gadgets, and superpowers. I tried to take them back to that time while also giving them–instead of funky leotards–outfits of the time period that they would more realistically wear. Batman’s outfit is basically a bat-cloaked motorcycle patrolman while Superman is an all-american football star. By re-imagining them in this way I still retain their essential core while making them seem like they could actually arise organically from the times they lived in.
