Description

A terrific realisation of a concept I commissioned from Greg Woronchak, who really puts his all into his work.

I'd thought about something like this for a while; The Joker card is a common trope in Batman stories, but what about treating the other characters in similar fashion;The Ace, King and Queen, Jack and 10 of Bats (If Nightwing isn’t a “10”, no one is! :) ).

Plus, the two faces on each face card would allow two different takes on the characters, old and new style Batman, Barbara and Cassie Batgirls, Dick and Tim Robins. I wasn’t sure how Nightwing would work, but hey, it’s the Joker, he never plays with a standard deck!

I also wasn’t sure of the layout, maybe just designs for the cards themselves, but Greg wanted to try something a little more jazzy. First up he suggested a familiar gloved hand in a pinstripe suit holding the cards fanned.

Then he came up with this far more dynamic approach of the Joker playing five card pick up… with a certain someone about to make sure the cards isn’t stacked TOO much. (Okay, I’ll stop with the card puns now)

I’m delighted by the outcome, even the Ace is perfect (I’d wondered about whether to make the Ace the Batsignal, but in the end, it HAD to be Ace the Bat-hound, and I think Greg would NOT have been happy at being denied the opportunity!)

I particularly like the differing types of “cape swirl” used in each card.

I'm in awe of Greg's work here and can't recommend his e-bay commissions strongly enough; http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZg-wor

ACE THE BATHOUND! That's awesome! Plus I love it anytime you can get some Nightwing in there!
