Nice! While I prefer the more sober Bat-designs, I have to admit that in the mid 90s I liked very much the Azrael Batman costume, especially when drawn by Kelley Jones 31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lc7β¦

It's a nice design, because it's so excessive and overblown, yet it holds together quite well, strangely enough.

Thank you! To be fair, the original Azbat design was excessive on purpose, it was almost a parody.

But lots of 90's types hid behind that in later years, claiming it was a 'parody' of industry excess.Β Sometimes excess is really just excess.Β And I think that stupid 90's bat suit was a case in point.

I don't agree. The original Azbat design, the one on which I based this drawing, was already a clusterfuck of conflicting elements, but it evolved and became more and more complex and bulky and EXTREME with every passing months, eventually adding a new mask, huge claws, razor wings and machineguns. This was done on purpose, in my opinion, and it was meant to deliver a point. That the original Batman eventually defeated this character by forcing him to abandon every piece of equipment is as clear a metaphor as can be. In my opinion there's no reason not to believe the writers when they claim that it was all done on purpose.

Well, maybe they did.Β I guess it could have been classic DC guys making a shot at the new Image upstarts.Β Oh, what a wacky time in comics.Β It was also the time I actually collected comics: a dark time.

Oh I didn't have anything to research: I'm old.
