Yeah, considering you draw the Batman better than 99% of the rest, I don't mind it becoming a Batblog. Plus, Didio left a cryptic comment in one of his latest DC Nation's saying that he wanted to see you on the bat. I can say that he isn't the only one. Now I just have to find out how to get my hands on some Nguyen Batman artwork...

Nice pieces, but one thing that always bugs me is how so many people draw Robin as a young kid rather than as the 16 or 17 year old he is. Just a style thing to emphasis his youth and to make Bats look bigger?

thanks guys, i never get aorudn to workign on stuff for myself too much, so when i do, its way fun.

jogfrog- ive no idea why everyone else draws robin all young, but i do it cause i really enjoy drawing characters on the extreme end of the age groups. i did a variant for the upcoming book TRANQUILITY for WS, really really old folks. i guess get a kick out of drawing really old folks and young kids. power pack rules btw...

oh yeah, mr freeze isnt missing the dome, i'll put that in when i color'm up!

I really think that they should let you be the style guide person to the bat-verse, Dustin. Your takes on the classic Bat villains are superb, like the ones you did for your As The Crow Flies arc, and the Mr. Freeze here.

Regardless, the Freeze is good.

And I like the age you use for Robin. I always envision him as a kid, because it doesn't feel right that all these Robin's are growing up, but Batman is supposed to be the same age (or a "little" older).

Also, I'm sure you can't talk about it yet, but I hope what Didio said has you coming to the bat-verse in the near future.

along with the
bat family attitude
is quite lovely

Yeah,Duss, I saw this Mr. Freeze piece many weeks ago and it knocked me right out of my chair and I have been nursing my dislocated hips ever since.
