Description
Here is your first look at Batman: Earth One. I know I've got the Bat Fans attention with this piece. Gary did this commission special for me. DO NOT GO ASK STERLING CLASS FOR ONE. There are special circumstances behind it. If you want to know, I will tell you but I do ask you leave a comment on this piece first. I am still speechless with how well it turned out. I am SOOOOO looking forward to Batman Earth One. I hope you all enjoy this piece.

Congratulations, indeed. I know how hard it is to come by a Gary Frank commission so consider me floored by just the fact that you got one. It doesn't hurt that it came out looking great, either. Again, congratulations.

I've been waiting for Gary to do a straight out Batman project ever since his Medieval take on the character a couple of years back. This is just what I've been hoping it would look like. Brilliant! Congrats.

Guys, Thanks for all your comments. This surprised the heck out of me too. They wouldn't send me a scan so I would be surprised. That I was. And Ken, That is an eagle. He did that for me. See I've been in the Air Force 12+ years and he wanted to pay homage to that.

Maybe in sense of heroism and such but the emotion that you see in Shulkie's face is amazing. Also all the detail in yours in great.

As you should. Just cause it has Batman and a Gargoyle doesn't mean you going to get it though. It's going in the ground with me. I'll be the only dead man with a picture frame in his coffin.
