Bendis- “Maybe make it like Wes Anderson meets the 66’ Batman movie submarine fight. Do whatever you want with it. Go nuts.”
Me- “I’m on it.”

I recently felt like an even bigger weirdo than normal when I was able to immediately identify Riddler's mask as an idealized version of a US Military Extreme Cold Weather Mask.
Kudos to the costume designers for the esoteric pull!
Was Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier the first appearance of Wonder Woman's leather strap "Battle skirt"? It's such a brilliant design solution. It's tough, historical, modest, and feminine all at the same time.
I’ve spent this week drawing Batman and Green Lantern adventuring on Dinosaur Island. And with Dave Stewart’s colors coming next, it’ll probably be as close to a full blown love letter to Darwyn Cooke’s New Frontier as I’ll ever make.
I have said it before and I will say it again,

's art is exactly how I want The Batman to look. The simple, stoic design makes you focus way more on the character's intellect, and definitely shows him more as a detective and less as a superhero.
