Description
Batman and all them nuts belong to DC, ahem.

This, again, was spun off my Batman redesign kick of late. Here we start off with a closer upper-body shot of Gotham-cop-turned-D.A. Harvey Dent, turned-acid-scarred-crime-boss Two-Face. The black-and-white pencil scrawl doesn't do as much here as it did when I drew "The Dynamic Duo", though you can see here I finally gave him a number tag on the prison-jumpsuit half of his outfit - with appropriate numbering, no less. And again, the decision to make Two-Face African-American was mostly inspired by my wondering what "Batman Forever" would have been like if Billy Dee Williams had been retained in the role of Harvey Dent that he had portrayed in the first Tim Burton film...I suspect at least one of his two personalities would have had a taste for some Colt .45.

Off to the side, we get the Joker in a black trenchcoat. The trenchcoat probably creeped in from Jack's outfit in the first film, I'm guessing.

At the bottom there, something a bit more interesting - judging by the fact that we have here a young woman both in human and feline forms, you can probably surmise that this is one Selina Kyle, AKA Catwoman. In figuring out how to re-work certain villains, Selina gave me a lot of fits, but then I struck upon taking the approach of the classic Val Lewton horror film "The Cat People" - [link] - in which we have an exotic mystery woman who leads an, uh, interesting nocturnal double life; the difference here is, Selina actually ENJOYS turning into the Catwoman. I haven't thought out exactly what would have happened to her to cause her to get all furry when the moon rises (though I suppose I could make a nod to B:TAS and say Dr. Dorian did it ), but I figure part of her thievery involves stealing items necessary to pawn off and pay for maintaining her "catsuit", which in reality would be a special viral containment suit she swiped from Wayne Enterprise' medical sciences department, here modified to ensure she retains her intellect and normal human thought processes whenever she becomes Catwoman.
