Batman Art During The New 52
I'm a 35 year old Canadian living in Ontario. I read comics, I love to draw and I collect comic art. I also teach karate, play hockey, and am a dad to 3 girls! My comic book passion lies with Batman and his pals with Nightwing taking a very close #2 favourite position. I began collecting comic art in 2013 and I have several commissions done by Ken Lashley and an amazing Francis Manapul Batman. As well I have sold a few of my own creations!
The art in Batman and Robin honestly took me a while to get use to. Patrick Gleason has a unique style with a lot of heavy black shadows and contrasting lighting techniques. While his art is not my personal favourite, there is a completely silent issue (#18) which is amazing and speaks to the skill of the artist to be able to tell a complete and very emotional story without a single letter of text.
