Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's alright, let's give this another try!

Simple and understated, but beautiful. Love the shading, and the icicles on the gun.
Mr. Freeze is hands down my favorite Batman villain. He seriously needs a decent role in a Batman film, with an actor who would do him proper justice. (We will not speak of Schwarzenegger-Freeze.)

Thank you very much for the kind words!
I completely agree about wanting to see a non-cheesy-catchphrasey cinematic version of Mr. Freeze. He was done so amazingly well in the Animated series and it's a big shame that we've yet to see a proper big-screen version of him. He has everything that would translate to that format SO well too. A sympathetic and tragic background, an awesome-looking containment suit that could be designed in so many ways, and a stark-white freezing gun that contrasts so well against the dark and gloomy tone of Gotham City.
Ah well, perhaps in the future... :/

Nice picture. Very well drawn.
It's always been my belief that the greatest aspect of any Batman story is the villains he faces. Now most supervillains are enjoyable to watch or listen to but what really sets thos of the Batman stories apart from the enemies faced by say Superman or Spiderman is the fact that they are so sympathetic.
Most of the time, they're not people bent on world domination or something cliche like that. Most of the time they're just ordinary people whose lives have been destroyed by the inherent dark elements of Gotham City. In many ways that makes them a mirror for Batman himself. Wronged in the past and often seeking retribution for it. But whilst Batman was able to avoid the dark pit that such a path leads to, they did not and you really feel the tragedy of that.
Every time I see them I think to myself:
"There but for the grace of God goes Batman himself".
And this one, Mr Freeze, has always been the absolute epitome of that concept. So much so that I have never once thought of him as a villain. See the story through his eyes and he's actually a hero like Batman, figthing for what he considers to be justice against those who wronged him and the wife he loved so much.
The absolute greatest Batman villain ever made. Such a shame that only the 90's animated series has ever done him any justice. Everyone else turned him into a joke.
Sorry for my rambling but I just had to get that off my chest.
Again, very good picture. Nice work.

I couldn't have said it better :]
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the mainstream DC characters (Vertigo aside) but the Batman "family" is an exception exactly because of what you've wrote about. Batman (in my opinion) has the most memorable lineup of villains out of all the comics out there due to how tragic and unique they are. Even Gotham City is pretty much a character in itself.
The 90s animated series and Nolan films have to be the best thing that DC has done with Batman IP since I know that a lot of people who aren't big on comics became Batman fans due to how well the cartoon and films captured the Batman characters and mythos (with their own twist) and brought them into the mainstream.

I enjoy the simplicity of shadowing and linework you use. There are many values here, but the detail is not hectic. The shadowing on Mr. Freeze's face is especially slick.

Vin Diesel looks the part a lot more than Arnold.

Yeah I didn't even think about the resemblance until now. But he'd probably have to wear a ton of pasty white makeup since Mr. Freeze is usually pasty-pale due to his cold condition.

Easy fix! they would put little markers on his face then alter it with CG after effects, like Avatar but less extreme! Anyway awesome drawing of my second favorite Bat Villain!
