Dorky Batman... 0

[malvin]

OK, I didn't want to say anything while the auction was live, since I don't want to ruin someone's auction, but i thought this Batman looked dorky:

Matt Wagner Batman on Clink

Is it just me? am I too critical? or did the original commissioner of Wagner so he made a dorky batman

It appears to be based on the old black & white serials. If that’s the case, it’s pretty spot on. Also a bit dorky, but have you seen those serials?

If all the trademark flourish wasn't there I'd think it was a fake. Awful.

Wagner peak Grendel is what I miss.

I quite like it and what it's based on is a refreshing change.

Love it. Spot on serial movie Bats.

A funny sketch for sure!  Looks like this batman would fit in perfectly in the Tick comic universe. The nose is just so much fun!

Okay I see it now. Still don't like it though. Maybe next we can get a dead-on rendition of what the neighbor's dog left near my mailbox?

You don't have to like it.  

Different strokes . . . and all that.

. . . or different motions for different dogs, if that's your thing?

100% serial Batman. Which is both incredible for what it brought to the mythos -- Alfred, the Bat Cave, etc -- but ye Gods watching some poor schmoe whip a heavy wool cape around while trying to hit his marks in a fight scene was...tough to suspend the disbelief for a bit. 

TCM shows the serials from time to time. Great for a watch.

I think the figure looks to be very skinny/narrow.  Otherwise, I think Wagner rendered it nicely.
