Description
This guys is a pretty complex dude.Every body knows that the Playboy, Womanizing
Bruce Wayne is an act. That playful rambunctious Bruce before his parents were killed doesn't exist anymore so he never grew to become that kind of man. Vengeance and hatred pretty much took it's place. So His whole life after that point was consumed by getting back at the people who reminds him of his tragic past.
So he prepares himself because he knows that going after such men was inevitable. He defeats his greatest childhood fear by becoming it and "Batman" is the result. So I feel the masked mysterious man of vengeance who wants to strike fear in the hearts of man is the real Bruce Wayne. But this again is my opinion. What do you guys think?....

I agree that batman has a jaded personality, but I wouldn't frame him as vengeful and full of hate. He likes to protect people, because he sees himself and his past emotions in the victims and he's decided to make helping them his life's work. If it was all about vengeance he wouldn't stick to the "no killing" rule so adamantly. I dunno. I watched Under the Red Hood the other day so maybe that's where my thoughts are coming from.Β
Anyways, excellent work! I love seeing your style and thought process!

Absolutely. Most people are really confused because they think vengeance must be fueled by hate. But it isn't. It's fueled by compassion. No doubt about it, a twisted sort of compassion, but that's why he does it. To prevent anyone else from suffering the way he did.

I think the comics even address this at some point, though I can't remember which one (a fairly recent one, though). When Superman grabs Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth and is asked who he really is, he says he's "Kal El." When Batman grabs it and is asked the same question, he says he's "Batman." Not "Bruce Wayne." Batman. Because in his own mind, he's not Bruce Wayne. The real Bruce Wayne died with his parents the night they were shot in front of his young, innocent face. The "Bruce Wayne" he plays as now is the actual mask -the facade- while Batman is his true identity.Β

You are right. It's been established for a while now that Bruce Wayne is an identity he's left behind (I don't think he's dead... just lost in the distant past). Now he's Batman. And, if you think about it, he would HAVE to BE Batman... because if he were Bruce Wayne, then that would mean Bruce Wayne is crazy. And he's not. Not in any way that we can judge. Batman is the real identity -- Bruce Wayne is a mask.

Nice build, well-rounded to allow for both agility and power.

The way I see it, Batman is the real identity while Bruce Wayne is the mask. He IS Batman, and he'll always see himself as Batman even as he passes his legacy onto Dick and Terry.

Or Dick and Damian. Or-(Head combusts with possibilities.)

I feel like he almost has three personalities. He has Batman, which is the one he's in most often, all growls, no jokes (seriously, the Joker's his archenemy) and completely serious. His whole purpose is to no out there and make sure that no other eight year old goes without parents because of "some punk with a gun". It is his whole driving purpose, and the reason he is who he is today.Β
Then he has Bruce Wayne. Not serious at all, only out to have fun, and enough money for himself and the whole world. (I've always imagined that in his head he'd have to think of himself in third person, so he wouldn't accidentally slip up and say "me" or "I" when referring to Batman as Bruce Wayneβor vice versa) Though, it's a given of course that he's not an idiot playboy, the Bat can't allow for that sort of frippery.Β
Finally, there's Bruce. Just Bruce, no cameras, no costume. He gets to just be himself. 
That's just my take on him though, and him being my favorite hero ... Wow. This is gonna be a long post. I really like the portrayal however, even if neither one is really him! (Again, it's just my opinion, you got Batman AND Bruce Wayne perfect! Though, I would say the real challenge would be drawing Bruce. Just Bruce.) 
I do love it, draw more!!

Your version kicks ass! This should be on TV god dang it!!

This is very close to how I picture Batman when I am not being informed by a particular comic book artist (or the Bruce Timm animated version). Though I never pictured Wayne in a turtleneck, I do think it works.

Mostly true, though Bruce has become more important in recent years as he gets more involved in philanthropy. And I like to think that Bruce is less inspired by anger and hate and more by the desire to make sure no one else suffers as he has. Especially since there are heroes who have far more violent back stories, like Wolverine, Hulk, even, arguably, Flash.

I agree. He basically uses "Bruce Wayne" as a means of supporting Batman. Be that in gaining information or keeping Batman funded, Bruce is almost another tool off of Batman's utility belt.

So this Bruce is different from your other one? or just a past version of him? > [link]

his gold is not revenge is justice otherwise he would have kill every single madman or criminal he fought

revenge doesn't necessarily mean your out to kill.

it does when you deal with killers

I have always admired Batman (even though he isn't real) because of all the pain he went through. It makes me look back at my life and say "the bad things in my life are like mosquito bites compared to Batman's"

Bruce Wayne died when he was 8 with his parents after that there was only batman
π: 0 β©: 0
I always assumed that it was like that. I think the "Divided we Fall" storyline supported that; I mean Bruce without the Bat was kinda nuts because he was that anger and desired for revenge without an outlet

Bruce has said himself numerous times that the face beneath the cowl is the real mask

I love it! You've done a fantastic job of depicting both sides of Bruce Wayne. Batman is my favorite hero and I thank you for doing him justice.

Oh wow, I love this. Almost too much, actually. Everything about the way Bruce is standing is so smug and arrogant, and even though it's just an act, he's definitely pulling it off well. And of course, the Bat's pose is supremely badass.
Awesome work!

The Batman design is awesome,but I'm not really a fan of your Bruce.

Awesome. Batman is the greatest being ever created, oh how i wish he was real....He uses Bruce Wayne as his alterego, Bruce is a character he made up and acts out. He made Mr. Wayne the total opposite of himself to throw off people from figuring out his secret identity. He is so deep and conflicted!

Amazing pic! Batman certainly is a lone spirit of vengeance, but he needs the Bruce wayne part of him to balance him out... but thats just my opinion!
π: 0 β©: 0
batman looks legit :3 i think your opinion is very right... though idk that he is taking vengeance or feeling the hate nesisarily but i believe he might be trying to stop others from feeling like he did, ya know?? and u should draw for comics, lol

AAAAH WHY CANT U DRAW FOR COMICS MAN!! THATS THE BEST BATMAN IVE EVER SEEN!!!
π: 0 β©: 2
AMEN!
Oh, and maybe they can use this batman for the movies, too? I mean, have you SEEN that costume? Yuck!

lovin' that smug look on Bruce's face~
though your interpretation of Bruce is really dark, I'd think he'd be a bit more hopeful of an individual... just a bit.
π: 0 β©: 0
Those poses steal the show here. Bruce's completely captures the playboy pose as you describe it, and Batman's, that bit holding the batarangs... too good.
π: 0 β©: 0
I think you are right. The Bruce Wayne he shows the world is his real disguise.
I really like your drawing style.

One of my favorite Bruce/Bat illustrations.
IΒ΄m your fan.

Yeah, you nailed it pretty damn well
Wow, I SO did not mean to compare Batman to Rorschach
