[DC] Batman: Incorporated
A small group of three characters from my favorite Batman story ever told. Everything I’ve read from Grant Morrison can effortlessly transport my mind to such a fantastical yet coherent depiction of the DC Universe, and there aren’t many writers I’ve had the pleasure to read who can do exactly that. If I had more time, I would have made several more characters from Incorporated, namely El Gaucho, Zavimbe Batwing, Nightrunner, the Hood, and more. Knight & Squire and Lord Death Man have already been done to perfection by Roman and Taylor, respectively, so I wasn’t planning on touching those.
I’m quite happy with how Doctor Dedalus turned out. He’s written so well by Morrison that he easily falls into my top 5 supervillains of ANY fictional property. His fetishization of the Ouroboros symbol and labyrinthine deathtraps made me shudder at times. It might have been more accurate to use the S6 Bandit CMF torso for the X-shaped bandoliers, but eh, I didn’t have that part to work with at the time of shooting. To clarify, I’m a much bigger fan of the first part of Batman Incorporated than I am of the second. Don’t get me wrong: both are excellently written and illustrated. It’s just that Doctor Dedalus was a more unsettling villain to me than was Talia Al’Ghul.
Zero more to go.
