Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

Just ordered two sets of the 1995 Batman Forever Metal card set off eBay. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/unEAAOSwsZhcNZaC/s-l1600.webp I already have one of these that I bought from my comic book store at the time, but the two I've just purchased will be going to my sister and her husband and to the...

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

Great find-- for those that don't know-- the Kelley Jones book is one of the Artist Edition Lines-- they are released as oversized books that are the actual size of the original art-- the black and white artwork is scanned in COLOR-- why? So that you can see all the white out, the blue line notes, ...

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

Recently purchased this off eBay at a discount ($25 off the cover price). Not for myself, but for the assistant pastor and choir director at my church. The item's still available on the seller's page. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/aRQAAOSwZwFmBeze/s-l1600.webp Long story short, I was showing the pa...

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

Nice work. Interesting choice for the boots. You can see silver rivets on the gloves, too. Anderson was obviously going for a more functional version of the classic costume, while still keeping it intact. I'll probably have to buy another one of these prints for my sister and her husband, since he'...

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

Purchased three of these holographic prints at last month's Motor City Comic Con. One was for me, the other two were for the choir director and assistant pastor at my local church, both of whom are hardcore Batman fans. The artist in question is Sean Anderson. https://prod-cdn-08.storenvy.com/produc...

Re: Batgirl Movie Cancelled

Admittedly it doesn't help that I've never regarded the Superman/Lois relationship as one of the great romances of literary history and I especially didn't think Reeve and Kidder's versions of the characters belonged together. It also doesn't help that DC, since 1995 at least, consistently portraye...

Re: Keaton Back As Batman?

Keaton's Batman is said to be a sort of Nick Fury for the DC Universe. I'd love to see him back for a full on Dark Knight Returns but I doubt Hollywood could get it right. Even if I didn't violently despise The Dark Knight Returns and all the damage it caused to the Batman mythos in the long term, ...

Re: STAR TREK art commission: Movie-era Kirk by Ethen Beavers

It's a neat piece but I'm getting George Clooney rather than Shatner-- but Clooney would have been a better choice for Kirk than the Pike guy IMO. If they were picking up from the Motion Picture - Undiscovered Country era rather than a total reboot, I'd agree. There are a lot of gaps in that period...

Re: First Look - Battinson Revealed

I just read the Bat Emblem is “spoiler alert “ two halves of the gun used to kill his parents. The style is noir, and maybe more detective than superhero. I could enjoy that. Even the ‘66 series had detective work in each episode. That still doesn't justify how ugly the suit is, or how unrecognizab...

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

If art commissions count, here's my new acquisition: a Batman/Catwoman pencil piece by Dheeraj Verma ( Lady Death , Transformers ). https://i.imgur.com/zwOs2wA.jpg I'll probably be having it inked over bluelines by at least one inker. I think the loose rendering of the background would lend itself n...

Re: First Look - Battinson Revealed

I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ either if I’ll watch the movie it doesn’t look right to me is it like the comic books? Honestly...no. It looks like it's trying to mimic the Arkham video game armor, but does so very, very badly. We don't even have anything resembling a bat symbol on the chest anymore, just an abs...

New art commission: Dean Cain Superman vs. John Shea Lex Luthor by Chris Williams

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ENdKLHOWoAAXlNu?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 I'd had the pleasure of commissioning Chris Williams back in 2015 to do a Little Mermaid/ Grease mashup (with his regular inker Jake Isenberg), and after seeing his art for the Marvel movies, I was interested in having him do...

Re: ‘66 poster promoting the yet to be released show

Agreed. I don't want to derail this topic any more than I may already have. As far as the poster goes...I'm not impressed by it. From the choice of image to the blank background to putting the series announcement on his boot sole, nothing about it works. It's not something that would get anyone exci...
