The shoulders have an Aparo vibe. Nice. I also see a bit of Adam West in the mouth! It really works great.Stupid fanboy question: in order to make the cowl look right, should Batman's neck be slightly exaggerated for size? It strikes me that his neck almost has to be bigger than average, even for a superhero, in order to look right.

Bat-tastic!! Love the sheen on the cape. Love the inking on the figure. Just sweet.

The title got me, obviously, thinking about Taxi Driver and from there led me to the question: Did you, or would you, do a commission based on popular movie or literature characters. I know you said from time to time that likenesses are not one of your strength. But how about your own interpretations of, say, James Bond or Sherlock Holmes.

I would NOT want to be on the receiving end of the beat-down Batman looks to be ready to hand out!
I really like the "weight" your Bat-cape always seems to have.

than average, even for a superhero, in order to look right.•• I don't know that I necessarily draw his neck "bigger", but I do try to have
the rear line of the ears and the neck more or less on a single plane. Maybe
that's what you're seeing.

This reads to me like the end of a thrilling second act! Hopefully segueing into the Batman taking care of business in the third. Awesome.

That sheen on Batman's cape is great. I agree with the more Batman stories from JB call... a run on DETECTIVE with Dini would be perfect.
