For the contest.

Heroic, Fearless, determined. I think batman is a great hero, but at the same time a bit insane. Past the costume, putting his life on the line, etc. Just how he has focused his whole life from a tragic event. Its a fixation like no other, and he goes to such extreme means to fulfill it. So I imagine that in his late years he would become quite depressed. Feelings of impotence, uselessness, hopelessness, and anger. This is something I have thought about for, sucks to draw a hero defeated.

Then again maybe he would reflect back on his life and be happy about all he accomplished. I doubt that to be the case though.

It's simple... it's because although he was a superhero, he never had the courage to take the bullwhip away from Catwoman, turn it around and use it on her...which is what she really wanted anyway. DUHHHHHHHHHH. :)

This is great. I still wanna ride in the Batmobile.

Congratulations solve, "Without a face" is awared 1st place in Contest Week 54: Retired Superhero's. Your description fits well as to why I like this piece. Seeing this proud, stoic young man slowy watching as his youth and sanity fade away, wondering if was it all worth it. By just using straight black you managed to create depth and reflect how he's become a shadow, hollow and losing what's left of his reality.

Congrats on first place, I dont care if I win because I don't know how the prize thing works cause if you need paypal I can't even get it.

deathking: What do you mean? All you need to win is an address for Oddica to send the shirt to, there is no purchase involved.
