Description

Happy Batman Day! Almost as happy as the day when I was given this piece as a gift from fellow Miller/DKR nut Steve McNiven. Love his take on Miller's style from that era. He drew this for fun and I'd long admired it on his IG. Quite a surprise when he showed this to me when we met and then told me it was mine. Thanks Steve!

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Hot town Gotham City tonight
There's Batman from the shadows like a man out of time
And signal shining in the night
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
And Frank Miller's on the bloodshot streets
Oh, Janson in the tunnel where the Muties are rising
Oh, I swear I saw a young girl Robin the soldier
She was starting to own all the heat

Oh, Carrie, you're the only thing in this whole world
That's pure and good Dark Knight
And wherever you are and the Joker follows
There's always gonna be some fight
But I got a Dent out, I gotta break it out now
Before the Superman is drawn
So we gotta make the most of Kryptonite together
When it's over you know you'll just be so alone

Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes
Oh, when Dark Knight is over, like a bat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done, McNiven draws down
And his talent's shinin' through
Then like a surgeon before the gates of Gotham
He'll come fightin' all crime with you

Gorgeous piece from Steve McNiven. It does have a touch of Frank Miller, but it also has a lot of McNiven to it. Excellent gift!

Right on, Felix!  You can see the linework that much more without any rendering.  Clearly channeling Miller DKR but still all McNiven!  Congrats!
