Hey Rick, yes I did a storyboard freelance on the "Two-Face" episode part deaux. It was just after the R&S collapse. I like Batman in all his various identities.

Eric Noble said...

That is so.... AWESOME! You draw an awesome Two-Face. That was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid (along with Ren & Stimpy). Thank you for posting this. It's beautiful and very manly. Top-notch.

Unfortunately, I have no money to buy it.

Jim, that's great you got on another show that revolutionized TV animation. Personally, my very favorite Bat stories were back in the 70's by Steven Engelheart and Denny O'Neill.

Jimbo said...

It's amazing how many incarnations of this character have been introduced. It is a tribute to how much people love the concept. I just wish the morons in charge of the studios would have sense enough to take a chance on new stuff. (Ripping Friends - hint, hint). Another shameless plug.

It would be cool to see an animated version of the Frank Miller take on Batman. Graphic and Hard-boiled.

Eric Noble said...

They did a mini-version of Frank Miller's Batman in the later Batman animated series (where it became even more stylized and agular). However, a full film about it would be awesome.

Ricardo Cantoral said...

Yes Weirdo, it was Legends of The Dark Knight in Batman: Gotham Knights.

Jimbo said...

I know that the Dark Knight movies with Bale are trying to capture that vibe But Miller really went for it.

Ricardo Cantoral said...

Personally I have never been a big fan of Miller's Batman but I do admire some of his ideas in THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. For example, the Joker's state of hibernation during Batman's absence then is bizarre return ending with his own suicide.

you are such a great cartoonist

"Personally I have never been a big fan of Miller's Batman but I do admire some of his ideas in THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. For example, the Joker's state of hibernation during Batman's absence then is bizarre return ending with his own suicide."

Yeah, that was pretty good. Frank Miller was a good writer. Somewhere along the line he seemed to go insane and now we have "All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder". Remember, he's the goddamn Batman.

Jimbo said...

Thank you Ryan, I always though I was pretty good.

Jimbo said...

Did anyone see the "Spirit"? I haven't yet but am curious.

Eric Noble said...

I haven't seen "The Spirit" either, but from what I've seen and heard, he basically took Will Eisner's characters and put them into Sin City.

Jimbo said...

Right on Eric, the trailer looked disturbing but this new style of movies is most intriguing.
