Hi everyone. Batman has always been my favorite superhero simply because he has no super powers. Everything he is and has is because he made it happen. Superman and Spiderman are close seconds. Since retiring from anesthesia practice I have taken up drawing with charcoal and graphite. I'm in the process of completing a series of Superman portraits for auction for a local charity and when I'm finished with those I'm going to begin with the Batman. I did a head shot of Michael Keaton as the Batman and use it as my Avatar. Here's a larger version. I'm glad I've found a forum to display my work to fans of the Batman. www.jackstem.com/keaton-batman-dark.jpgCan anyone tell this "old-man" how to include pictures in my posts? Thanks Jack

Thanks to all who posted. It's nice to actually post something somewhere and have people welcome you instead of flame you! Here's a comparison of my first attempt at Batman in January 2004 followed by the May 2004 version.

One more thing: Thanks to all who posted. It's nice to actually post something somewhere and have people welcome you instead of flame you! Anyone who flamed you isn't worthy of witnessing your talent!

Here's a link if anyone wants to check his stuff out. www.jackstem.com/eddie-dunn.htmI can't wait to see the new Batman movie. Most of what I've read and seen gives hope that THE BATMAN will be back with a vengence. It's going to be good...it's opening on my Birthday! Later

That artwork is very impressive. You should consider doing commission work for other Bat-fans!

***GRNLNTRN715 Posted on: Today at 21:08:06 That artwork is very impressive. You should consider doing commission work for other Bat-fans! **** Thank you for your kind remarks. I'd be more than happy to do commission work., especially for one of my favorite superheroes! I don't have any other Batman pics since I've been woking on a Superman Series for auction to benefit a local charity. Here'sone of my Supermen...George Reeves. Here's a link to my web site: www.jackstem.com/super-heroes.htm
