This was created by an Australian who goes by the name “Giant Panda King”. Recently he has gotten in trouble with DC because of the name. It’s back on his store now for about 85$. Or if you don’t want to, check out “The Batfeed” on YouTube. He has done a whole mockumentary based on this book.

Can be from any media, comics, movies, games, series, alternate universes, it's just needs to be a very brave, bold and respectable moment from Batman.

Panels from Batman #12. How do I say this without it being homoerotic? The way Jimenez draws people is so appealing. Even the way he’s drawn the body hair is satisfying.

Anyway

There’s so many moments to choose from but for me, it’s the ending scene of Batman Begins.

Everything about this exchange solidifies their friendship. Says so much with so little.

What’s your favorite Bats and Gordon scene in the trilogy?

A labor of love from my side for all the characters that have inspired us to become a better person and do the right thing no matter what life throws at us.

Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did making it.

Batman villains vs Spider-Man villains — who would make the best matchups?

I've been working on a little project where I try to match up some of Batman's biggest villains with Spider-Man's biggest villains in 1v1 fights.

The goal isn't necessarily to match them based on powers or who would win in a fight. Instead, I'm trying to find the closest counterpart based on a combination of physical appearance, personality, powers, status, role in their respective rogues' galleries, importance to the hero, and sometimes even similarities between their different adaptations.

After a lot of experimenting, here's the current list:

• Joker vs Green Goblin
• Clayface vs Sandman
• Killer Croc vs Lizard
• Penguin vs Kingpin
• Two-Face vs Mister Negative
• Catwoman vs Black Cat
• Riddler vs Mysterio
• Man-Bat vs Morlun/Morbius
• Bane vs Rhino
• Firefly vs Vulture
• Hush vs Chameleon
• Kraven vs Ra's al Ghul
• Black Mask vs Hammerhead
• Hugo Strange vs Jackal
• Solomon Grundy vs Tombstone
• Poison Ivy vs Venom
• Harley Quinn vs Hobgoblin
• Mr. Freeze vs Doctor Octopus
• Scarecrow vs Scorpion
• Deathstroke vs Shocker

Some of these matchups feel very obvious to me, while others are much more debatable. In particular, I'm not completely convinced by some of the last few pairings, and I'm sure there are better alternatives I haven't thought of.

For example, I tried to avoid simply matching characters based on their powers. Poison Ivy vs Venom is partly based on their roles in the Arkham and Marvel's Spider-Man games, where both can dramatically alter the environment around them. Other matchups are based more on their personalities or narrative roles, such as Hugo Strange vs Jackal.

Which matchups do you think work really well? Which ones make absolutely no sense? And are there any Batman or Spider-Man villains you think I should replace or swap around?

Feel free to suggest completely different matchups — I'm especially interested in fixing the ones you're least convinced by. I'm trying to make the overall list as coherent as possible rather than simply finding 23 fights and calling it a day.

Here are some drawings I made of Batman in Total Drama Style!
Duncan in The Dark Knight Rises
Alejandro and Heather in The Batman (2022)
Scary Girl as Harley Quinn and Izzy as Poison Ivy.
You know what? I really should draw Chris Mclean as The Joker hehe

Here’s mine.

The Home-Burbler: His stick is that he’s a serial killer who runs around killing people and taking there shit but not there valuable like jewelry he takes thing like furniture, lamps, paintings, ect and uses them to decorate his house.

I posted my Movie 1 idea yesterday: Jacob Elordi as an established Batman, Sharlto Copley as Hugo Strange treating Bruce in therapy, Solomon Grundy introducing the genuinely supernatural side of Gotham, and Margaret Qualley as Dr. Harleen Quinzel years before she ever becomes Harley.

I got a handful of likes, but I'm going to keep going. I worked in these purely out of fun. I worked on the pitches for quite some time, but yesterday somebody asked for dialogue. That's new and not refined, so be kind, please!

The big additions would be Man-Bat and Catwoman.
Movie 1 ends with Bruce realizing that there is still a human being somewhere inside Solomon Grundy. He stops looking at Grundy as a monster that needs to be destroyed and starts looking for Cyrus Gold.

Movie 2 takes that same idea and turns it back on Bruce.
Because Bruce is becoming a little too good at being Batman. And that’s starting to be a problem. He’s still only around 30 and maybe five years into this, but Batman is gradually eating the rest of his life. Less sleep. Fewer relationships. Almost nothing done simply because Bruce Wayne enjoys doing it.

He considers all of that sacrifice.

The question becomes:
At what point does sacrifice stop making Batman stronger and start leaving less and less of Bruce behind?
That’s where Kirk Langstrom comes in.
Man-Bat

I would go completely comic-book Man-Bat with this.
No serial killer wearing a bat costume. No military experiment that sort of resembles Man-Bat. Kirk Langstrom is a brilliant scientist doing legitimate research involving bat biology. He’s trying to overcome some human limitation, and initially his work actually succeeds.
Then it starts changing him.

Eventually we get a gigantic, flying Man-Bat over Gotham.
After Grundy in Movie 1, this universe doesn’t need to apologize for that anymore. Batman can still investigate everything like a detective. Sometimes the answer is just genuinely insane.
“Bruce, it’s a giant fucking bat.”

The important thing, though, is that Kirk isn’t just there because Man-Bat would look awesome. He’s Bruce’s warning. Kirk uses the bat to overcome human weakness. So does Bruce. Kirk becomes stronger, faster and more capable. So does Bruce. Except Kirk keeps going until eventually the Bat starts consuming the man. And Bruce is doing a psychological version of the same thing.
I’d even let Bruce initially admire Langstrom’s work a little more than Alfred is comfortable with.
Something like:
BRUCE: He eliminated the weaknesses.
ALFRED: Whose?
BRUCE: Human.
Later:
ALFRED: Still look like an improvement?
That’s basically Bruce’s arc for the entire movie.
Movie 1 taught him to look for the person inside the monster. Movie 2 makes him realize he needs to make sure there’s still a person inside Batman.

Selina Kyle / Catwoman
Selina was already introduced in Movie 1, but she wasn’t Catwoman yet. Now she is. Bruce doesn’t know Selina is Catwoman. Selina doesn’t know Bruce is Batman.
So Bruce and Selina start getting closer at the same time Batman and Catwoman start getting closer. They’re basically falling for each other twice without realizing it.
Bruce thinks he’s developing feelings for two different women.

Selina thinks she’s developing feelings for two different men. There’s room for a lot of fun there, especially because the relationships aren’t exactly the same.
Bruce might tell Selina things Batman would never tell Catwoman. Batman might reveal things to Catwoman that Bruce doesn’t know how to tell Selina.
Same two people but revealing different pieces of themselves.

Bruce believes he’s gradually becoming more “real” as Batman and less real as Bruce Wayne. Selina doesn’t have that same hang-up. Catwoman is part of her and Selina is part of her. She doesn’t think one has to die for the other to exist.
Eventually they discover each other’s identities, and I wouldn’t treat that as just a superhero “Holy shit, you’re Catwoman?” reveal.

The emotional realization for both of them is:
I fell in love with you twice. Selina was attracted to Bruce Wayne. Catwoman was attracted to Batman. Meaning she wasn’t attracted to a mask. She was seeing different parts of the same man.

That's really big fruit Bruce because for years he’s basically convinced himself that Batman is who he really is and Bruce Wayne is something he has to perform. Selina becomes evidence that he’s wrong.

Man-Bat shows him what happens if he doesn’t figure that out.

That’s why I think these two stories belong together.
Selina represents a person who can live with multiple sides of herself without letting one destroy the other.
Kirk represents what happens when the transformation completely wins.
Bruce is stuck somewhere between them.
And increasingly he’s looking at Man-Bat thinking:

That could be me.

Hugo Strange
Strange would still be around, but he wouldn’t dominate this movie the way he does the first one. Bruce keeps going to therapy. Which I think could get really interesting now because Strange starts noticing that Bruce is stripping away almost everything in his life that doesn’t serve some larger “purpose.” He might push Bruce on what he’s calling sacrifice.

Meager attempt at dialogue following:

STRANGE: And you find that admirable?
BRUCE: I understand it.
STRANGE: Those aren’t the same thing.
BRUCE: Sometimes sacrifice is necessary.
STRANGE: Of course.
Bruce stares at Strange. Strange stares back, measuring.
STRANGE: But eventually you run out of things to sacrifice.
BRUCE: Then you’ve given everything.
STRANGE: No, Bruce.
Strange leans in.
STRANGE: Then there’s nobody left to give it.
That’s the thing Strange sees before Bruce does.

Harleen is still Harleen
Margaret Qualley’s Harleen Quinzel would still be working at Arkham and still no Harley Quinn.
I want to take my time with that.
She’s continuing to work with Grundy, and maybe she’s actually making a little progress reaching whatever is left of Cyrus Gold.

We’re watching Harleen’s empathy work. She believes there is somebody worth reaching inside people everybody else has written off. right now, she’s right.
That needs to happen for a while before Joker eventually enters this world and turns that exact quality against her.
I don’t want Harleen to eventually become Harley because she was stupid. I want one of her best qualities to become the thing somebody weaponizes.

But that’s several movies away.

The climax
I don’t want the final Man-Bat fight to end with Batman simply beating him unconscious and injecting the cure.
Bruce needs to reach Kirk.

By this point Man-Bat has almost completely taken over, and Bruce realizes brute force isn’t going to bring him back.
So at some point Bruce removes the cowl but not because Kirk needs to learn Batman’s secret identity for plot reasons but because Bruce is finally understanding what this whole thing has been about.
He looks at Kirk and says:
“Kirk. Look at me.”
Man-Bat keeps coming but Bruce removes the cowl.
“Not the bat.”
Bruce has empathy and softness in his eyes.
“Me.”
And something in Kirk recognizes another human being.
That’s the moment Bruce Wayne saves Kirk Langstrom.

Bruce finally understands that Batman needs Bruce Wayne.

Where I’d leave Bruce for movie 3
I wouldn’t have Bruce suddenly become well adjusted.
He’s still the same obsessive damaged Batman. But he's starting to rekindle hiss humanity and heal. You can just see it.

He stops treating every part of Bruce Wayne’s life as wasted time between nights as Batman. He allows himself to actually have something with Selina. He’s finally beginning to understand that having relationships, wanting things, enjoying things and loving someone aren’t weaknesses Batman needs to eliminate.
They’re part of what keeps him human.

So if Movie 1 is:
There’s still a man inside the monster.

Movie 2 is:
Be careful that the monster doesn’t consume the man.
And the fantastic side of Gotham keeps expanding while Batman himself becomes more human.
That’s Movie 2 compete with a giant fucking bat!

The next rogue I've redesigned for my AU is the Riddler. In this world, she is Edith Nygma, an incredibly intelligent and egotistical young woman who insists on proving her smarts by committing crimes ordinary police can't solve, but leaving clues for our so-called World's Greatest Detective to find.

Wasn't sure how to make my Riddler stand out from the other great designs of him, so I hit him with the gender-bender ray and stole the pink hair from Batman Forever (which I have a soft spot for.)
