Great feel to this!  Love the austere expression and moody shading.  Is he opening a curtain to the Batcave or holding a selfie stick?

I think he's leaning on the Batmobile just chilling. :)

Would love to hear any details you could provide as to steps marvel took to use your commission as a published cover.

Tim -- Haha, I wish I had some details.  I opened up the Marvel Previews book 2 months ago and saw it solicited as a George Perez variant.  I'm guessing Marvel asked George for a shot of the Maestro and he provided a scan.  Thanks for your interest.  Lou

And, he did a masterful job covering up the personal inscription when he added the background.  You'd never know it was eve there!

Yes he did although i don't think that part took  much effort. Excellent job all around.  Thanks.
