Holy smokes!  This just may be the best Hitch piece I've seen in at least a decade.  Utter perfection.  I mean, he really, really, has outdone himself here.  I can't imagine a single Batman fan/collector on this site who wouldn't be jealous of this spectacular piece.  Wow!

Thank you, Eric!  That means a lot to me.

Holy Smokes! What an absolutely stunning commission! Hitch really outdid himself on this drawing! The figures are perfect! And the thick, rich brushwork really brings the scene to life!

Holy Smokes!  We're all Robins today in awe of this piece that has the modern trappings of Hitch's artistry, but also the nods to the origins of Man-Bat with the catherdral in the back and the expressive Neal Adams styled drawing of him!

Thanks, Marcus!  It's a great callback to the origins of Man-Bat, as you note.

Thank you, Alkis!  Your Batman #194 cover recreation by Art Adams is simply amazing.

Holy smokes!  I'm with Eric - this is a SPECTACULAR piece of full-metal biblical proportions (okay, I'm with Nash, too :) ).  The poses are fantastic, the architecture is perfect, the lighting is stunning... but what I love most is the balance of the thing, with Man-Bat's wing on the left completing the "bat profile" of Bat-Man's cape on the right... and then a dash of the Bat-Signal to round things out?  Superb - simply superb.  MEGA congrats on this treasure.  Astonishing piece, and it must be great to get your CAF Best of 2022 finalist piece out of the way by June. :). Congrats, A K!

Another "Holy Smoke?"  Smoke gets in your eyes, indeed.  ;)  Thanks for the comment, Jason!  I'm still a bit stunned with how well this commission turned out.  Bryan is a fabulous artist but he really outdid himself here.  The balance of the elements, which you note, really make this piece.  Thanks again, my friend!

Hitch harkens back to his glory days here. Absolutely incredible level of detail and what a layout!

Posted on 6/2/2022

Thank you very much, Chris!  The detail and layout really hearken back to Bryan's classic period.

Whoa!  Outstanding aerial battle image here!  One of the best Bat vs Bat AND Hitch images I've seen, and that's saying something!  Big congrats!

Thank you!  I agree; this is Hitch at his (considerable) best!

Incredible commission bu an incredible artist. I love Man-Bat's fierce facial expression,  the poses, and the background.

Thanks, Shannon!  Man-Bat is such an underrated Batman villain and I'm glad he got a chance to shine in Hitch's commission.

This was such a great choice for a commision. Wow stunning art.

Thank you, Ken!  I was stunned not just by the figures, but also by the background that Bryan constructed for this commission.
