Description Commission of The Women (1939 film) recasting the actresses as DC characters. The details are:

Ok. So, a couple of years ago, Turhan’s Bey Company  and I did a ‘fan cast’ for a classic movie star Justice League film serial .

Afterwards, I thought it would be fun to give a similar treatment, with a twist, to the film ‘The Women’.

And did.

The original actress and role, followed by the comics character we felt would best represent them.

Norma Shearer   …   Mrs. Stephen Haines (Mary) - Dinah Laurel Lance
Joan Crawford   …    Crystal Allen -  Selina Kyle
Rosalind Russell …   Mrs. Howard Fowler (Sylvia) -    Poison Ivy
Mary Boland    …      The Countess De Lave -   Jeannette
Paulette Goddard  …     Miriam Aarons  - Zatanna
Phyllis Povah   …      Mrs. Phelps Potter (Edith)   -   Harley Quinn
Joan Fontaine   …     Mrs. John Day (Peggy) -  Stephanie Brown
Virginia Weidler  ..     Little Mary   -  Sin
Lucile Watson   …     Mrs. Morehead  - Dinah Lance
Marjorie Main   …      Lucy  -  Ma Hunkel

This was something I really wanted to see.  And finally, I asked Bevis to take a crack at it.

I knew he would create something amazing - I adore his art, he understands fashion and always adds those fabulous little details that really make the piece.

Also, he’s a wonderful guy and a friend, so there’s no downside!

And HERE IT IS!

A comics version of the 1939 film, The Women*!

It is everything I could have hoped for. And more. 

*there was never a remake. nope. didn’t happen.

I really like this, although I actually think Selena Kyle (despite being occasionally murderous towards Batman) is a nicer person than Crystal [Allen] Haines.

You've drawn some pretty fabulous things for me over the past couple of years, but this one here may be the best. 
LOVE it so much - thank you again!

As I said, absolutely my pleasure to draw this one. An excuse to let loose my inner Adrian *and* draw superladies at teh same time.
