Tyler Chin-Tanner - Batman

Slightly late ( sorry Tyler )

Batman!

Like Tim, I went with a Frank Miller style. Fun!

"The Batman Flies Silently Through The Night Sky With The Help of His Bat Friends"

Batman's Rogues Gallery

Today's topic was "Batman", the most emo of all superheroes. I wasn't sure which of his numerous villains I would like to draw, and ultimately I decided to draw all of them. I figure on his days (nights) off, Bruce Wayne has a nice glass of cognac, and reminisces on adventures past in his own private gallery of rogues.

Batman: Cat Woman

Cat Woman has been treated pretty badly over the
years (I'm looking at you 1990's).
She's either been a prostitute or crazy or endowed with breasts that
simply defy description (take a look at the 1990's).

I have no special love or hate for Cat Woman.
What I did here is clearly cheese cake inspired by
Frank Miller. I don't really care for the over sexualization
of Cat Woman but hear that she has become a much better character
in recent years.

So let me just be clear, this is NOT Cat Woman. It's
a fashion model dressed up AS Cat Woman. So...it's
all right. Shhhhhhh....It's all going to be okay....

Batman - ManBat

I can't remember how Dr Kirk Langstrom became the ManBat, it was some serum or other. I do remember that it was drawn by a very much on-form Neal Adams. The sequence with the ManBat flying around the batcave stick in my mind today. Very very dynamic.

BATMAN : GUTS

BATMAN spent the morning examining his long intestines, BECAUSE HE WAS SO HARD!

INTESTINES

Unknown to most, once Naoki Urasawa finished his amazing "Pluto" Graphic novel series,
he began work on a sequel of sorts called,"Pluto Batman!"

Pluto Batman is the Earth's most mighty Robot because he has one human organ,
his INTESTINES! He is seen here capturing his arch foe "Joking puppet bot,"
a robot hand puppet who also has only one human part, his LIPS!!!

This comic has yet to see light due to legal battles and Naoki's wish
that the book be published BEFORE he draws it.

Movie serials

Or cliff hangers as they were sometimes called.

There were SO many back in the heyday of the cinema.
Even Houdini had a movie serial! (I hope someone does that one)

Believe it or not, I did...BATMAN!
Yes, he had a serial in 1943. In it he battled the nefarious...Japanese!

Dr. Strange?

Dr. HUGO Strange????
Or Professor as some call him?

That was the theme today right?

Flowers- Poison Ivy, Batman

Personally I am indifferent to the Feb
14th holiday, but we decided to do something
at least related to it here at Drawbridge.

Thus, Flowers:

"Jazz" (BATMAN)

Remember when my one time collaborator Gerard Jones did that Batman mini series called "BATMAN JAZZ?" I do. It was illustrated by MARK BADGER!

Anyway, this is an image from that series.
yep, I made the theme "Jazz" into an excuse to
draw Batman! It was that or Queen. You remember their album called Jazz, right?

The Penguin

Oh, you go, Batman. Go and beat the holy living crap out of your fearsome nemesis, the middle-aged, bird-obsessed, overweight dwarf in a tuxedo. Ooh, watch out! He's got an umbrella!

Maybe for an encore you can smash the face in of that skinny ass in the question-mark leotard, you big toughie you.
