Just another concept piece focusing on the cape as a weapon. Heavily referencing the original first appearance of the character in DETECTIVE 27.

Rafael,
Absolutely LOVE that old Bob Kane look the best of all the various Bat-Man interpretations over the years. This was a time when, if you messed with The Bat-Man you could very well end up dead.
The huge ears seem to be from Detective #30-31. Superb!
Yes, the ears are from that era. It would be great to see that DEtective run reprinted in a large format book or even as a digital download so more readers can see how Batman was such a great design.
How about approaching DC with the idea of retelling that first year of Batman from Det. #27-40 in this art style? Bob Kane spent a week with me and my family back in 1978 and I've been a huge first year Batman fan ever since.
I think it would be a great project. If you want, I can send you some of those old images from the early Detectives. I have most of those early issues scanned.
Let me know. Great work!
Thanks- but I have them in the reprints. Would rather do new stories in this costume with similar villains etc. A kind of continuation / homage of the run. Perhaps in the future! :)
