The Little Book Of Batman

The Little Book Of Batman takes a look at Batman from his humble origins as the World’s Greatest Detective, all the way through to the present day. It also looks at Batman’s sidekicks and enemies, like Robin and the Joker and others. It shines a light on the complicated personality and the dynamic relationships that defined Batman through the years.

Needless to say that fascinates me to no end. This is a 192 page book of the greatest Batman images and text. I would spend way too much time with a book like this. I think I will. Must have!

Native American Superhero Art

These superheroes and villains are simple and elegant at the same time. Also timeless. They were created by artist Jeffrey Veregge who used his Native American heritage to create some truly unique images of the heroes and villains we love.

Here we have Batman, Robin, Hulk, Wolverine and more. They have an energy and intensity that I really love. They are all amazing, but I am especially liking his version of The Flash. This is some awesome and unique art that blends two awesome worlds together.

Watercolor Superheroes Are Ethereal And Awesome

Watercolor art always has this otherworldly feel. It is even more otherworldly when superheroes are done in watercolor paint. These watercolor portraits are from French illustrator and designer Blule. They are intense and full of movement.

I would love to see more comic books using watercolor to tell stories. These portraits are just so satisfying to look at. It really is amazing the mood you can set with watercolor paints.

Marvel Superheroes Become Gundam Robots

This art series is just plain awesome. Artist Aburaya Tonbi has created a Marvel and Gundam mash up series that will have Gundam and Marvel fans wishing for an actual crossover. These Marvel heroes look amazing as Gundam robots.

I love all of the little design details. Even if we can’t get an official mashup, I would even be happy with some action figures based on this art. I love it. Captain America and Thor look especially great.

1982 DC Comics Style Guide

The 1982 DC Comics Style Guide is now online and complete. This is some really stunning artwork. Those were the days. I wish we saw more of this style today. The style guide features many character designs, color guides and model sheets. These were all used for marketing and licensing and they also served as a reference for the artists. You have probably seen some of these images on merchandise. Dick Giordano inked all of the figures in the original guide, while Todd Klein inked all of the logos and many of the backgrounds seen in the guide. I love them all, but this era Batman really looks awesome.

Check out the entire Style Guide. Dick Giordano inked all of the figures in the original guide, while he himself inked all of the logos and many of the backgrounds.

Superheroes As Manatees

Artist Joel Harris imagined what some of our favorite superheroes would look like if they were manatees. Spoiler alert: They are all pretty fat and look very much the same out of their costumes.

Check out Captain Amanatee, Supermanatee, Batmanatee, Spider-Manatee, Green Lantern Manatee and many more. Sure they are bound to be slow and they will always stop to get a fish treat, but you don’t want to mess with these chubby heroes. Check out more on Joel’s Deviantart page. Fun stuff.

Cute Batgirl Art by Jonathan Glabas

I love this Batgirl fan art created by artist Jonathan Glabas. Isn’t she stunning? This illustration was part of the Jules Jammal Superhero Art Auction awhile back, where 100% of the funds raised went toward funding annual scholarships for future SJSU animation and illustration students.

You have to love any art that also benefits good causes. I really enjoy what he did with Batgirl here. She is totally adorable and still badass.

Native Species Of Gotham City

This fun series is titled “Native Species of Gotham City” by Ellie Bacan. It was part of DC Comics, We Could be Heroes fundraiser campaign auction awhile back. I really love what Ellie did here. It would be awesome to have an entire series of these on my walls.

Robin is just adorable.

Marvel Themed Football Helmets

Logo designer Justin Kozisek decided to tweak some of the NFL’s helmet designs and add some Marvel to them. These Marvel-themed helmets are an awesome mashup of NFL teams and the Marvel universe. Who knows, one day these two may even cross over for real and we can see geeky helmets like this on the football field.

DC Variant Covers For March Look Like Movie Posters

For their March 2015 issues, DC Comics has announced variant covers that will honor iconic films. So expect some of your favorite superhero covers to look different in March. There are 22 covers in all, mimicking famous movie posters. You can check all of them out below.

These covers should help them to sell more issues for sure. Personally, I’d like to see them do this more often. I can already see that March is going to be an expensive month for me, because I intend to collect them all.
