Batman 93 page 2 splash by Guillem March

I aprreciate a good villains page. And this is a great one! Congratulations.

It's a winner on all accounts: composition, atmosphere, characters, body language, textures, the whole combo is perfect. Really happy for you, congrats!! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Guillem March is one of the artists who I've found to have gotten progressively better over the last decade or so, in all facets of artistry, which you've covered in your description. I don't know who was the artist to do it first, but I'm very glad that someone finally strayed away from the norm in terms of Penguin's design, as it stuck for so many decades and was so laughably stupid for all of that time. Keeping him looking like an older gentleman but with a less comical and more serious approach allows the reader to finally take him seriously. I certainly echo your sentiments on Deathstroke's ridiculously bulky costume (Deadshot too), but at least he still gives off the appearance and attitude of a serious badass!

This looks like Gotham has devolved once more into March madness and these desperate times need a Batman to come a riding into town like a sheriff to clean this up!

Great page, from the top to the delightful bottom Penguin panel. Congrats!

"March Madness". I think I'd pick this one to win the tournament. 

I'm a big fan of March's work, and I really like the composition of this page.  Very nice!

A really great looking page. Love all the rendering and lighting - but the poses are also very awesome! Great flow with excellent composition. Congrats!

I am Batman 93 pg2, the bringer of death. Dangerous is a very apt description. Panel two is as dark as it gets! March really killed this baddie page. Who needs more? It's filled to the brim with awesome. The bat signal behind the mugging killers is perfect. Excellent score. Congrats!

Liking the line work on this one.  Got a lot of diagonal lines for rendering, which adds a nice comprehensive feel to the piece.  Very cool seeing the bat signal above all the baddies up top!  Congrats!

Now THAT is a fully rendered page!  Gorgeous design, layout, and (dare I say it?) execution.  Great narrative flow and trust me, Batman isn't missed on this page.  Absolutely incredible linework here, F M, with the densely-packed crosshatching of the water tower behind Deathstroke, to the looser hatching in the flowing cape of the sai and katana-wielding assassin on the left (sorry - I don't know the names of all involved here), to the long, thin lines on the ledge beneath Deathstroke's feet... the Batsignal on the wispy clouds above their heads... And I think my favorite part of this page isn't even that first panel; that may be the folds of clothing and hand-drawn texture of the clothing being worn by the goons behind the Penguin in panel three.  Beautiful, beautiful work.  This page feels like it contains nearly a little bit of everything you can do with a pen.  It feels a little like a Kevin O'Neill page to me in that way.  Gorgeous add, F M.  This is an amazing piece to just sit and stare at, and I have found myself doing just that (even more than usual) while writing this comment.  Sincere congrats on this beauty!
