Description

Few names have become as associated with the Batman as Tim Sale, one of the truly unique artists in comics, and with good reason. Sale is one of those rare artists with an actual vision.....one of the few artists whose work you can easily spot among a myriad of cookie cutter folk. Sale has etched his way into Bat lore with his style which is brilliantly suited to the Batman. He has delivered a masterpiece worthy of his reputation....the rain is brilliantly done...the gargoyle....the composition. Classic Tim, by which I mean brilliance!

I think Tim Sale has been one of the top 3 artists to work on batman over the last 15 years. This highlights everything that makes Tim Sale's version of batman what it is.It would make a terrific Batman cover. Congrats Ari

Very crudely drawn picture, whatever the body of the batman was going for was ruined by the face that looked as if someone carved it up like a jack o lantern. While having a rather nice backdrop the rest of the picture appears flat lacking practically any depth. The rain looks as if the artist took a ruler and just made line after line with different shades.... The piece had potential but could have been much better, somewhat half assed
