Description

Finally after almost a decade I got the inks to the most complicated piece I ever commissioned. It is a long story as to why it took a decade, but unlike most commission stories, the artist was not the blame for any of it! Normally I would have the inks on the pencils, but for this piece I decided to preserve the pencils.

I call it “A Nightmare in Gotham” and it heavily relies on one of Scott’s strengths….Perspective. It features Batman having a Scarecrow fear gas induced nightmare in the style of M.C. Escher. The setting has stairs going everywhere, with platforms and various tragic “scenes” from Bruce’s life, and can be viewed in any orientation.

First Scott built the structure to hold all of the elements. Due to the scope of the project he used (2) 11x17” boards.

Next he added the “Scenes” from Bruce’s life which include:
The Death of Jason Todd
The Death of Bruce’s Parents
The Death of Dick Grayson’s parents
Bane breaking Batman’s back
Barbara Gordon being shot by the Joker (note the cuff links)
A bat
A Cataclysm batcave with a wrecked Batmobile
And a T-Rex bursting thru the wall

Then he added the villains….Batman has the best villains hands down. They include:
Scarecrow, Penguin, Harvey Dent & Two Face (flipping the same coin), Killer Croc, Deathstroke, Red Hood, Bane, Harley Quinn, Joker (with a laughing fish), Hush, Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Ventriloquist & Scarface, Deadshot, Talia, Clayface, Catwoman (riding the T-Rex), Ra’s al Ghul in the Lazarus pit….and the Mad Hatter dipping his toe in the Lazarus Pit.

I highly recommend Scott and Andy for your commissioning needs!

A beautiful journey into the complicated world of Batman and his myriad of rogues and memories that have shaped him over the years! Who can reach him in the center to save Bruce Wayne from being lost in Batman forever?
