Illustrated in Deleter #3 Black Drawing Ink with crow quill pen and brush on Strathmore 9x12 smooth bristol board.
An interpretation of the Bat-Man and the Joker. A Jack the Ripper inspired Joker with influences from Sweeney Todd, Cesare the Somnambulist (Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) and a a smattering of Charlie Chaplin/Buster Keaton to give a turn of the century style Joker that jilted silent movie comedian feel to him.
Once again, this is a rather swashbuckling vision of Bat-Man if he had been played by Douglas Fairbanks. With his costume inspired heavily on the low budget serials from the 1940's to give him the feel of someone who relies heavily on his wits to battle the Joker rather than a bullet-proof costume an myriad of gadgets.
