Bat Fink by Steve Mannion

Such a fun take on Roth's RF with a great Batverse spin!

Such a great piece! It brings me back in time to when Odd Rods were the thing. Wish I still had all those. LOL!

Ooooooh, yeah, ooh, yeah

Everythin', everythin', everythin's gonna be alright this postin'
Ooh yeah, whoaw
Now when Mannion was a young boy, at the age of five
His momma said he was gonna be, the greatest artist alive
But now Steve, way past 21
Want you to believe me baby,
Joker's on the run
I'm a fan
I spell f, aaa child, nnn
That represents fannishboy
No B, O child, Y
That mean fannish boy
I'm a fan
Mannion Boy

Oh man!  Now you've got Rick doing it.  LOL!  Anyway, nice to see this piece again.  Although it does look a lot better in person.  Should have bought it from you when you offered, but I've got so much Mannion already.  Happy Batman Day!

love Steve's work. he captures the whimsical  nature of the character and just up's by ten with the over sized drawing by never skipping on the little details that the subject is known.  just a great piece and a great adition to your gallery.

Great piece by buddy-pro Steve.  This is the kind of art that drew me into meeting him so many years ago.

Jingle Bell, 

Bat from Hell, 

Rogues is gonna die

Mannion Inks oh so well

I can't believe this f'n guy. 

A Batman that would do Moebius proud...

Absolutely love this one!!  Happy Batman Day!

A cool idea executed to perfection.  It captures the essence of Rat Fink to a tee.  Such a beatiful piece that pays tribute to two of the biggest names in the hot rod/custom car craze of the 60's.  Congrats Marcus!

I always enjoy Steve Mannion's work.  Great grab!

Great to see a fun Batman pick.  Love Mannion's inks and renders. Huge congrats!

Superb! Love this one!

One of those artists I regret not having bought something from yet. Impressive piece! 

Badass!

I always thought that it would maks sense for the Penguin to be the size of a penguin.  Mannion proves here that it works.  A belated Happy Batman Day!

GAH. I feel so obligated to comment now because of your Machiavellian machinations...

Mannion is a beast. This piece makes me want one for myself. He blends the cartoony with the realistic so well it takes some time to even tell why this is so impressive. The fact that the 2D racing flames dont stick out like a sore thumb against the intensely detailed Bat Fink is a real feat. Congrats, man! 

Ha! I am also commenting strictly out of obligation... not because I love Batman, or Mannion, or humor, or awesome art! Those things are all irrelevant. Damn you Marcus!

Great piece. Please take a moment and reciprocate this comment if you could. My gallery is at https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=1211

 love all the vehicle and tire work amongst all the characters and mayhem. what a cool/fun piece!!! nice Marcus

Very fun....Very cool...Very jealous.

This is so cool. It immediately makes me think back to those late 60's, early 70's Keep on Truckin' era cartoons Robert Crumb and others popularized back then, particularly the one with hot rods, which were all the rage in those days.

Awesome! Loved seeing Rat Fink art growing up and the Batmobile is a perfect fit. This piece is so much fun.

Superb piece, Marcus.  Batmobile is NOT losing a wheel, and Joker is NOT getting away from this one.  (Batman _does_ look like he still might smell though...). Fun, raging piece, Marcus!  Rock on!

One of the best depictions of Batman...EVER!

This is so Fink'n fun!   Nice Bat piece!

Bat-HELL ON WHEELS ;) Hot stuff ! Poor Mini-villains !

Clayface pieces will really gum up the engine! 

Wow great image. The art looks like it should be on the bottom of a rad skateboard! 

Distorted monsterous greatness. Awesome looking Batman piece.

I remember this one, Big Daddy Roth couldn't do any better 

Love this Mannion, Batman, Big Daddy Roth cultural mashup!  The Caped Crusader is so hunched over, the wheels have so much personality, the dragster flames are so pointy, the 8-ball gear stick rises so high, and the peripheral characters are super fun.  Not the Batman I want to meet during my commute

I think Robin has a stinky finger he wants the bad guys to smell! 🤪

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for some Villans
Or whatever comes our way.

Fun piece!

Are we gonna have to start calling you Marcus "Big Daddy" Wai?

Oh Man, I need one of these!!!! Wow, this is spectacular! Thanks for sharing this (and no thanks from my wallet I am sure). Congrats!

Funny & Horror & Great!

a wonderful esample of Mannion's craftsmanship ♥

This piece is GENIUS - so much fun. Congrats.

Love this piece with some major Bisley/Roth vibes!

Such a fun piece

Absolutely epic in every f... way ! Forget Mad Max, there is an insane Bat in town !

God I love this. Just great!
