This has (I refuse to use past tense) the potential to be the best Batman tale since Morrison. Gerard Way shared via twitter the cover and his sketches for a Batman book he pitched to DC Comics back in 2008 for Vertigo. His commentary follows: “Cover art to an approved DC comics proposal for a “Vertigo” Batman limited series.Never got to write it. Sadface.” “So theres no confusion-there’s are from a comic I pitched to DC the year Gab and I won the Eisner. Drawn prior to CW or DXD, at home in LA.” “I’m Mr. Freeze! I like to dress up as my dead wife in armor I sculpted out of scrap-metal from her car accident!” “Just got busy is all. Dan and Ian at DC were crazy supportive of the project but my life took a different turn at the time.” “Robin is great but I can’t find the scan. He’s more subdued because he’s the only person in the book that isn’t nuts.” “There was no Harley in the book. And Catwoman was very strange.” “Joker was also the youngest character in the book, about 19. A year or two younger than Robin.”

The Superhero Media Crossover Project by Butcher Billy Just how thin is the line that separate movies from comics? Modern from classic? Pixels from ink? It’s easy to forget how much the comic stylings of the 60’s and 70’s have inspired modern films and just how timeless those two-dimensional, spandex-clad superheroes can be. This series replaces live action with the lines they were born from, interlacing cinematography with storyboard. A true homage to Kirby, Ditko, Romita Sr. and all the other artists that kept inspiring and being a reference to the modern media. And all of us.

Just how thin is the line that separate movies from comics? Modern from classic? Pixels from ink?

It’s easy to forget how much the comic stylings of the 60’s and 70’s have inspired modern films and just how timeless those two-dimensional, spandex-clad superheroes can be. This series replaces live action with the lines they were born from, interlacing cinematography with storyboard.

A true homage to Kirby, Ditko, Romita Sr. and all the other artists that kept inspiring and being a reference to the modern media. And all of us.

To keep him in ‘the part,’ my Batman smokes, wear a leather coat and a turtleneck, and drives a cool 70s BatMobile (an OldsMobile maybe? ;) I still need to decide on brand and model.Of course, as usually it happens in these cases, I start to flesh out all the other characters/stars of the story. Pictured above we have Selina Kyle, aka Foxy CATWOMAN, Lieutenant Jim Gordon (with period appropriate ‘stache ;)) and Ed Nygma AKA The Riddler. Yes, you are witnessing the first case of BATPLOITATION. Hope ya dig it.”

Gonzalez did some research that confirmed the comic was valuable, though not as much as it could have been. He got into a heated discussion with a relative about its value, and the back cover got ripped lowering the grade to 1.5 based on a 10-point scale.
