I don't normally do superheroes, but a mate of mine is unwell and it was suggested to me that he would like it if I did him a Batman 'sketch'. Don't know that I've drawn Batman since I was a kid, so it took a bit of thinking about and ended up being a bit more than a sketch.
This is continuing my experiments at trying my no outlines style in Manga Studio with some aging effects for good measure. I'm no Batman expert, but I wanted to do an old style Batman with the batwings attached to his wrists and have him preparing for a dust up with some 1940s goons in a disused warehouse. I also wanted him to have an old fashioned approach to fighting, sort of 'sock on the jaw' rather than some kung fu-free running-pepsi max-matrix palaver.
Anyway, here's hoping Nige gets well soon.

It's Bat-tastic!
I know you'll loathe me forever for that comment but I made it anyway. Must be the Pepsi Max.
Beautiful colours, lovely shapes and marvelous spengers too. They should spread jam on their shoes and invite their trousers to tea.
I completely neglected to wish your friend all the best, very remiss of me. Here's to a speedy recovery.
Brilliant Rob! You draw a great goon.
Pure class - love it!
what a beaut! the pose, the colours, the batman chin, the classic goons and the killer composition.
...and your no-outline experiment, I'd call it a roaring success.
MORE!
Quite brilliant.
Great vintage pulp feel ! - I could see this style working great for The Shadow ( since you've already done The Spirit sort of:)
