I've been watching a lot of Batman: The Animated Series lately. So, I thought I'd draw up some of the more popular Batman villains.
The temptation is to showcase Mr. Freeze wielding his freeze blaster, but I went non-traditional and wanted to show the the object of his affection. This image is what I think about when I imagine Mr. Freeze. Him standing alone in the dark, looking at his snow globe of Nora. Mr. Freeze has been one of my favorites since I saw him in the animated series. I didn't realize at the time that they were reinventing the character.
From his Wikipedia page:
Originally called Mr. Zer o he was renamed and popularized by the 1960s Batman television series, in which he was played by several actors. Nearly 30 years later, a television adaptation of Batman revitalized him once again. Batman: The Animated Series retold Mr. Freeze's origin in "Heart of Ice ", an episode by writer Paul Dini . The episode introduced his terminally ill, cryogenically frozen wife Nora , which greater explained his obsession with ice and need to build a criminal empire to raise research funds. This more complex, tragic character was enthusiastically accepted by fans, and has become the standard portrayal for the character in most forms of media, including the comic book series itself, which previously had the character casually killed off by the Joker . Freeze was resurrected in the comic after the episode aired.

And then they ruined everything with the launch of DC's New 52. >sigh<
