batman art

KovacsC · **Posted:** Wed Oct 22, 2008 22:52

I am trying to find some good batman art... I have googled but not found a great amount..

The reasonign behind it, is that I am toying with the idea of getting a new tattoo, and think the Dark Knight could be an idea...

any help or suggestions would be great

With tattoos, I always feel the more stylised the better. With that in mind, this:

Only with the symbol being in black, obv.

Was toying with the new film version or this

I think traditional is best when it comes to tattoos

Zardoz fail. It should obviously be this:

Bah, Dimrill beats me to it.

Adam West is a legend. I was watching a repeat of Batman on BBC4 a few months back and his acting is so utterly terrible it crosses the line into total brilliance. I want a proper modern Batman movie with all the darkness and horror, but with Adam West at the centre of it. It would be so awesome that galaxies would start to collapse.

I was thinking more dark knigth than camp batman..

Even Joshua Wainwrights version looks better..

ANY WAY back on topic.... ART not camp

I like the bat-sign outline idea better than the "OMG LOOK AT MY MUSCLES!" Batman.

Shin · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 9:55

It doesn't HAVE to be the sign though right? *First whiff of a new tattoo got her attention*

And would you want it black, outlined, coloured? Because I have a few ideas

Saying camp isn't art is like saying videogames aren't art.

Ok ok... sorry.. I meant I want artwork, relating to the Comics / Dark Knight (not the films)

I have had a good look but can't see anything. The link I put from Jim Lee is the type of work I am looking at

the "shark biting batman's leg" in Batman: the movie is probably the most awesome/stupid thing i've ever seen. If i was you i would tattoo that scene on my back

I think your tattoo should be MafiaBurtTank.jpg. And I think we should get a hidden camera recording of you going into the tattooist parlour, presenting the picture, and asking for it across your back three feet wide.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 11:00

Just thinking about MafiaBurtTank just makes me go all giggly and silly.

DBSnappa · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 11:17

Rather than get a tattoo you could buy my biker's jacket on which I painted this - about 18 years ago! Props to Dave McKean who did the artwork for Arkham Asylum from which I copied this.

Just go for a picture of Robyn

A tattoo based on one of the interpretations of Batman in 'Batman: Black & White' could be pretty cool.

On the subject of the Adam West Batman, my favourite line ever from that is when Bats said "We've come a long way from the Prime Minister's exploding cake... or have we?". That might well be my favourite sentence in the English language.

Awesomesauce. Arkham Asylum is one of my favourite comics ever, ever, ever.

"Our work here is done, Robin. Let's leave, but inconspicuously. Through the window, we'll use our Batropes."

I'm also a big fan of what has to be the Comish's best line from the 1966 movie:

"The sum of the angles of that rectangle is too monstrous to contemplate!"

Call me a bluff old traditionalist, but I'd have to go with the line so eloquantly illustrated by Dimrill's picture - "some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!"

GazChap · **Posted:** Thu Oct 23, 2008 12:30

Certainly a classic, but over-quoted. There are so many other lines from that film that are pure gold.

Sinister, I used that exact font in the big Children's Websites folder I was making today - for the comix page in fact.

Or, get your entire body tattooed, but leave the Batman logo as clear skin.

Reverse video tattoos?

I'd still like to see the complete Spectrum character set dot-matrixed onto someone's back.

Ah, it reminds me of a brilliant book called How To Be A Superhero. "Hey kid, want to put on these tights, and I'll teach you to wrestle and we'll cruise the streets at night looking for some hot action!"

I think the B&R slash tat is mega! :luv:
