Description

Flamebird by Ron Salas

I've always liked Bette Kane. She was a tennis player who had a crush on Robin, and to get his attention she became a costumed crimefighter. She was the very first Batgirl (or Bat-Girl), and later changed her identity to Flamebird before joining the Teen Titans. She never tends to appear for very long in comics, disappearing for years at a time. I think it's probably because she's just too fun and creators don't know what to do with her. I hated seeing her get taken down so easily by that Hook guy in Batwoman, but they seem to have long-term plans for her now, bringing Bette back under yet another identity: Hawkfire. Anyway, this is my favorite costume she's worn, and Ron did a great job of making her look like she's tough enough to belong in Batman's army here. Ron has her bravely leaping into a burning building, either to rescue someone or take down some bad guys, maybe even both. I love the flames and debris, and for some reason I really like how he drew her hair. Now everyone go give Ron more drawing money so we can keep seeing beautiful pieces like this!

If you like this piece then please do go buy some books featuring Ron's work in either physical or digital format and/or go commission him yourself.
