Another oldie.
I enjoyed BATMAN BEYOND, but never loved Terry McGinniss as a character. I liked the “Dirty Harry teamed with Spider-Man” dynamic Old Bruce and Terry shared, but Terry was never more than adequate. I once complained to a friend that Terry had none of Batman’s detective skills, that other than a gung-ho attitude he had little that wasn’t provided by the powered armor he wore. “That’s because Bruce isn’t training a replacement,” my friend said, “Terry is his arm.”
Fair enough!
As I work on new material, here’s another one from the vault I haven’t posted here.
A companion piece to the Warner Bros. Studio Store Batman Animated Maquette, photographed by Patrick Lentz. Batgirl currently adorns my business postcards (and my heart).
I’m posting an older piece until some of the (exciting!) new work is ready to display.
Frank Miller’s version of Batman by way of animator Bruce Timm. Created as a companion piece to the Warner Bros. Studio Store Batman: The Animated Series maquette, this version of the character appeared on the episode Legends of the Dark Knight. Turnaround designs were in Paul Dini and Chip Kidd’s great book Batman Animated.
More (newer!) work will be posted very soon.
I’m enough of a paleontology nut that I must admit that this is more like a deinonycus than a velociraptor, but velociraptors were actually fairly small, coyote-sized animals. I also cheated the anatomy here and there, and omitted the feathers these animals likely had. In my defense, it’s Batman fighting a dinosaur.
You may notice the dino has drawn first blood. I like the think that’s the last strike it got in before extinction.
