Just the Batman story.

Local Age : 45

No comment from the 14 of you who've checked out this thread? hmm?

The Omega Age : 36

I was going to comment...... but I didn't. It's is quite interesting. This was alot better than I thought it would be. Most old comics like this suck but this is a pretty dark start for the greatest character ever. When did it start to get campy (before it got dark again)?

Global Age : 45

How did this character go anywhere looking that goofy to start with?

the numero dos Age : 34

Look no further than Dr. Fredric Wertham and the freaking Silver Age. Alot of the golden age stories were pretty dark, though they did get little lighter when Robin was introduced.

And few people realize just how fruity that first costume was.

He got into camping when the TV show came out.

When that ended they were at a loss as where to go, until Neil adams & a few others took him back to his roots.

THANK YOU NEIL ADAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Main Man Age : 50

I notice the way you draw Batman, is reminiscent of the original version, Dan. With the shorter ears, more towards the back of the cowl...

the numero dos Age : 34

I think the ears on the original cowl were intended to be on the sides.

I like that design. Drakes character should have ears on the side. I wish I had ears on the sid....... oooooh yeah. Sweet.
