Description
My variant cover to Batman #25.
Not my best art but perhaps my personal favorite composition to date. My editor's only requirement was that I couldn't explicitly show Batman's first generation costume which certainly made this assignment a tricky puzzle to work out. Had a lot of fun with this one.
In this Zero Year storyline, Batman is just starting his crime-fighting career and having to deal with a Gotham City in blackout prior to a major storm; lots of police zeppelins cruising the sky on lookout. The negative space the city and Batman are framing is a more abstract nod to the villain's name and looming danger ahead.Β

I was wondering if I could use this pic on an altered box for my son? Thanks Debi

Are the fingertips of his right hand unusually flat, or is my eyesight shot? (I'm guessing the latter, but...)
Excellent work yet again, and clever use of the zeppelins and skyline. A great artist sometimes distinguishes himself not only with how he draws, but what he draws and how he lays it out.

They're flat. Just trying to make them more glove-like. Thanks!

"He's the hero Gotham deserves, and also the Hero it needs. Β Beware people of the night, for your feast on the fears of the fearful and innocent is nearly over. Β From this moment forth...none of you are safe."
A Dark Knight if ever I saw one, great job! Β Β

I love the "wholeness" of this one I hate doing backgrounds but you turned it into part of the art instead of filler great stuff!!

Very cool

It's an awesome cover piece and I love the red smoke around the bottom of him. Nicely done with the zeppelins and buildings to show a skull image. Awesome job with the red and white lighting on his face and body. Gotta love this covers you do so well.
would love to see a Wonder Woman pic, too, someday

Very nice! I noticed the fingers on the closest hand seem a little "flat," in terms of hand structure. BUUUUUUT, since you're amazing, what do I know?
