Description

I love this page. And think Scott Mcdaniels is a truly underrated Batman artist. He draws an incredibly dynamic dark knight. That is evident in the larger panel of Batman featuring a maniacal grin courtesy of a self dose of joker toxin.
Andy Owen’s inks really added depth to the piece as well.
McDaniel nightwing run is my favorite sentiment run of comics. I look back at that series very fondly.
Glad to add this page to the collection.

A great example of McDaniel's graphic design approach to drawing comics. But, shouldn't the Joker's toxin do something more to Batman aside from a forced Joker smile? Like, oh, I don't know...kill him?

Haha! As good as the artwork was... the writing on this particular run left a bit to be desired. That being said, knowing batman... he always has a contingency plan in place, so maybe, just maybe, it was a low enough dose to survive, but put himself in the psyche of the clown prince of crime.

That top panel is awesome where he just creates the depth of the hall. Getting that evil smile on the large Batman image is pretty unique as well!
