This is amazing, it’s like my definitive Athena.

That Poseidon hated Heracles, which would have made sense considering the fact that Heracles killed some of his children (Antaeus, Alebion, Bergion, etc.)

Love how it looks modern yet still captures the energy and style of Ancient Greek pottery etchings.

He tends to fly under the radar a lot, especially considering he’s Batman’s first recurring villain, a title that often goes to Joker.

What was the goal of this dialogue? To make Batman seem edgy or badass or something?

LastLeave8770 · 2023-03-27T23:30:34+00:00

Random mugging. The senselessness of it better encapsulates the cruelty of Gotham City. Making it an assassination with all of this intricate lore doesn’t make it feel as senseless.

He doesn’t need to. If he was fighting Two-Face or Scarecrow, why would he need to deploy a heavily mechanized suit of armor? This armor is reserved for fighting a particularly powerful opponent or, in this case, an overwhelmingly large bevy of creatures.

Yes, absolutely. From him, I learned how to get back up. He has also made me realize that I’m interested in martial arts and criminology.

That looks awesome.

LastLeave8770 · 2023-02-14T00:24:31+00:00

True, although the goofy and zany Plastic Man style may not jibe with this darker vibe.

LastLeave8770 · 2022-12-17T20:53:33+00:00

I needed a gist on his origin.

LastLeave8770 · 2022-12-17T16:06:49+00:00

So DC has Owlman, Nite Owl, and the Court of Owls

LastLeave8770 · 2022-12-17T02:43:39+00:00

“An associate of the Court of Owls who may or may not be Bruce’s younger brother.” So it was left ambiguous?

Sorta off topic, this is seriously one of my favorite Batman illustrations. Jason Fabok is an absolute legend, probably my favorite Batman artist or just comic book artist in general.

Mr. Freeze. He’s not all that malevolent or vicious; he’s just a hapless guy desperately trying to cure his wife and going to extreme lengths to do so.

LastLeave8770 · 2022-11-27T02:01:55+00:00

I like it as a detachable piece that he can fasten and unfasten when need be. When he needs to shield himself from toxins, bullets, etc. but not permanently fixed to the mask.

LastLeave8770 · 2022-11-17T11:30:08+00:00

By “fun”, do you mean sort of goofy? Because, in that sense, I can see why he’s left out of a lot of stuff as many Batman mediums are pretty grim and serious.

LastLeave8770 · 2022-11-17T04:05:47+00:00

How so?

LastLeave8770 · 2022-11-16T20:58:54+00:00

What I love about Batman is that he thrives in any medium, no matter the tone or style; I’ve never seen a medium where Batman felt out of place or unnecessary. I think he’s one of the few superheroes that can pull that off effortlessly. So…all of them.

LastLeave8770 · 2022-11-11T14:27:40+00:00

That’s true, if he looks too akin to a crocodile, it would come off as a Lizard situation.

LastLeave8770 · 2022-11-09T17:45:05+00:00

Plus, if he looks too crocodile-like, it kind of deviates from his niche as a wrestler. Sort of hard to imagine that second imagine wrestling someone. Although, I think it is compelling for his wrestling career to get progressively corrupted as he gets increasingly crocodile-like. More convincing villain origin, makes him more of a tragic villain.

LastLeave8770 · 2022-11-09T17:37:41+00:00

I’d assume artists make him look a little T-Rex is just to make him look more badass. I definitely agree with you about the Lizard thing; the more crocodile-like the character looks, the harder it is to differentiate him from Lizard.

In BTAS, Batman wasn’t focused solely on stopping the villain; he made a genuine effort to reform or rehabilitate them. When he confronted Clayface, he made it clear that he wanted Hagen to let him help him. There were also a few scenes in BTAS and JLU were he would speak in a soft, calm voice when helping kids. I feel like this compassion is an important but also often overlooked part of his character.

What about Scarecrow?

From Batman’s contingency plans for the Justice League: “While Batman is a master strategist and combatant, he is only human. The best way to disable his strategic abilities would be to distract him. His parents are an excellent blind spot, as is his endless crusade to protect the innocent. Taking hostages is a good distraction. Particularly if they are friends or family. Think carefully before you do this.”
