So I got this idea for a Nightwing series. Basically, if the Rockford Files is the inspiration for Hawkeye, Bruce Lee movies would be my inspiration for Nightwing. He’d jetset around the world accompanied occasionally by Bette Kane aka Flamebird and they’d get stuck in martial arts tournaments or have to bust up Yazkua drug rings… Things like that. I feel like Nightwing is the one who could inherit all the cool James Bondian/Mission Impossible adventures Batman had in the 70s. He’d become more of an international superhero doing cool shit in places like Thailand or Hong Kong or something. The new Batman and Robin have things covered in Gotham, so why doesn’t he explore the world a little rather than just find a Gotham knock-off to run around in? Sure he’d have a home base, but if anything it’d probably just be the penthouse in Gotham. A loft or something. 

The redesign for Nightwing is an inversion of Bruce Lee’s Game of Death suit but it’d be dark blue and yellow like his original Nightwing suits. 

Came across this Batman by Charles Burns and I really wanted to see what it’d look like with color. 

Dynamic Duo 2.0

Guess what? I had a bunch of coffee two hours ago so I stayed up to reink and recolor my Batman doodle so that it’d fit with Robin. 

My buddy Jon Morris has been posting sweet reimaginings of Red Tornado on his tumblr this week! I decided to do one of my own for fun!

The idea is that he was a hero in Japan in the 70s recently recommissioned and reactivated to join the Justice League. Maybe he’s found by Toyman and used as a villain or something at first till the League get a hold of him and fix him. 

Damian’s a big Bruce Lee fan. 

Maybe my favorite chapter of Morrison’s Batman run. 

You’re stronger than you think you are. 

Here’s an idea for Robin I’ve had for a while. Just kind of making him more of Batman’s medic/scout and applying some of the classic elements but in more of an actual urban war zone setting. I was actually going to enter this in Dustin Nguyen’s Batman redesign contest on deviantart, but work/life got in the way. 

Superman redesign I wanted to get out of my head. 

Dear Beware The Batman, I watched you today and you were awesome, but I think I know how to make you more awesome…

I tried to design my own animated Superman but ended up doing one that looks like it could be from each age comics age! Golden, Silver, and Bronze. I think they all turned out pretty alright. Which is your favorite? 

The belt was me working off of Luma Lynai’s big belt but I turned it into more of a wrestler belt. The cape is based off of Martian Manhunter’s modern cape because both Power Girl and MM’s cape’s used to be the same before she got her shoulder strap. Just wanted to doodle it out because it’s been in my head for a while.

TO THE BATMOBILE, LET’S GO!

Did a quick full body drawing of that Wonder Woman I drew out last month. Not sure if she should have a skirt or boots.
