11" x 17" cover reimagining of the cover to Golden-Age Batman # 9, the details are:- Batman and Robin in costumes as drawn on the original comic
- please do keep Batman and Robin in the spotlight
- please include the cover logo, date, DC indicia, and price
- if it works, please include a detailed alley background rather than the black space as on the original
Here is a reference link for Batman covers: LINK

Loving the Inks on this!•• With the exception of Batman and Robin's heads/faces, this was inked entirely with a PITT brush pen with the tip clipped. That includes, this time, my signature bullet.

Incidentally, this is probably my favorite of all the Bat-logos.No coincidence, I'm sure, that it was on the cover of the first issue of BATMAN I bought. . . 
Hmmm.... 110 issues after the one that served as the inspiration for this commission. Again, I find myself wondering what my younger self would have said, if he could have been given a glimpse into his Future!

Great reimagining of a great cover.
I also love that Batman logo.
Cool shadows in this commission, and I like the textures and details of the piece: the rickety fence behind them, the gunk and junk on the floor and the boarded-up tenement windows.
It would be fascinating to read a whole issue in this Gotham.

Drawing this piece, I was struck once again by how much the Adam West costume adhered to the model then in the comics. Except for the literalization of the utility belt (and OH! what a long shadow THAT hath cast!) the colors and general configuration were very much in line with the way the character was drawn in those pre-Neal Adams days. They even made an attempt to get the unmoving "shadow" on the front of the mask!

I find the white line on the nose really odd on the West costume. It would be interesting with modern CGI to see a version of Batman where they could cast that permanent shadow on the mask in post-production.
