Scott McDaniel & Andy Owens - A Nightmare in Gotham (homage to M.C. Escher's 'Relativity')

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.
