New Project: Batmobile

Here is the latest project I have been working on. It’s the Batmobile from the graphic Novel, Batman vs. Judge Dredd: Judgement on Gotham. Simon Bisley who also illustrated other Judge Dredd comics and graphic novels created the original artwork for this Batmobile. This Batmobile predates some of the more famous modern ones including the one from Tim Burton’s Batman and the subsequent series of films from the 1990’s, and the one featured in Batman Begins and Dark Knight. Unlike the one from the latest series of films, this Batmobile is not humvee, tank-like vehicle, which is opportunistically used by Bruce Wayne as his crime-fighting vehicle of choice. It is instead a highly stylized vehicle featuring oversized bat-wings and a front profile that resembles an angry demon with yellow headlights that look like eyes and lower front vents that remind you of teeth. All of which Batman uses and are designed to intimidate and bring fear into the souls of the criminal underworld of Gotham City. And not to take away from the other incarnations of the Batmobile, including the one from the 1960’s TV series and 1940’s comic books, in my opinion this is one of the coolest and my most favorite Batmobile.
