Call me crazy, but I love both of the old V The Visitors mini-series. One of the aspects I loved were the Visitor’s weapons. You can actually buy a kit and paint the weapon yourself. It even comes with that clear acrylic rod for the center piece. Presumably where it focuses it’s power and creates the pew, pew, pew laser.
Here is a project that I would have loved to see come alive. Sadly, I don’t think it will happen anytime soon. With the success of Batman ’66, Joe Quinones and Kate Leth wanted to revisit another famous era from Batman’s past. The Tim Burton era. Hence the name Batman ’89. DC Comics foolishly passed on this miniseries pitch. It’s really too bad that we never got to see this, because it sounds great.
Quinones shared some details and proof-of-concept art from the proposal and it looks awesome.
“Our story would have picked up the threads left by Tim Burton’s Batman Returns,” Quinones explains on his blog. “We would have seen the return of Selina Kyle/ Catwoman as well as introductions to ‘Burton-verse’ versions of Robin, Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. It also would have showcased the turn of Billy Dee Williams’ Harvey Dent into Two-Face.”

“V” The Original Mini-Series and the mini-series that followed are among my favorite sci-fi shows of all time. Check out this image of series creator Kenneth Johnson in the ship graveyard at Universal. It was taken after the original filming at some point. These ships were simple, yet awesome. I really wish I had some as toys or replicas.
Other images in this set include the shuttle being moved by crane. Yep, these ships actually existed as full sized props. It’s amazing they didn’t break the thing moving it around. I just love these ships. They are so…lizard people!

I’m a sucker for the original V mini-series. Both of them. The weekly TV show that they tried to launch after? Not so much. The rebooted version? Don’t even get me started. V and V: The Final Battle are among my favorite Sci-Fi series. And I just love this digital art based on the series.
These pieces were done by Deviantart user flavioluccisano and they just blow my mind, capturing the flavor and style of the series perfectly. He needs to do a Visitors comic book so I can just give him my money every month in exchange for more amazing art.
