Nathan Gooden Dark Knight Returns Commission

The light wash color is just awesome and has a great impact on depth along with the bright white of the lightning and black background.

You mentioned the scale difference – I also like the dark versus colorful, wizened versus youthful, and left versus right contrasts. A great piece!

I agree about all the contrasts! That's a big reason I love Carrie Kelley as Robin - the contrast between Robin and this grizzled Batman is more extreme than the regular continuity can achieve.
