Okay!
So here are three DC characters commonly associated with Batman, you all know these guys. Since last summer, I've been slowly reading through the entire New 52 Bat-saga and I just recently started Batman & Robin: Eternal. Throughout this time, I've developed a greater appreciation for the New 52 Red Robin costume that a surprisingly large number of people seem to dislike; I think it's clutteredness and gadget-heavy design really fits Tim's modus operandi and I really like how distinctive it looks from the traditional red and green Robin garb. This isn't to say that I don't like his Rebirth outfit - I just think his New 52 one is a better fit to differentiate him from his Robin counterparts, both visually and thematically.
Speaking of Tim Drake as an thematically distinct character, I also recently read a really insightful comment on the DC Comics subreddit about who Tim Drake really is in the context of Dick, Jason, and Damian. The main takeaway was that more than any other Robin, Tim was the first who Batman considered as an equal-footed partner because of his dedication to the core mission of Batman - to inflict justice upon criminals, and to give justice to those who are preyed upon by criminals.
Long story short, I'm starting to have this perspective towards Tim. He was the Robin that I grew up with as a kid and I look forward to seeing where DC will take his character in the future.
Azrael and Bronze Tiger resulted from fiddling with table scraps. I was never 100% happy with my original Azrael (yuge throwback, lol) and after looking at a bunch of semi-conflicting reference images from Knightfall, I finally settled on a white torso with more accurate arms. As for Mr. Turner, I reread the "I Am Suicide" arc from Tom King's Batman, saw Bronze Tiger and a spare dark orange torso in my spare parts pile, and thought why not? I originally intended to make the fig entirely out of dark orange parts, but then it just didn't look right when all the parts were together. But somehow, just adding black legs instantly transformed the fig from a weird Pre-52/New 52 hybrid to a definitive representation of how he looks Post-Flashpoint, besides the fact that the location of his tiger stripes is reversed.
I'll be completely honest - I'm not sure if I have time to shoot for the special mid-April DC thing I mentioned before. And if I do have time, it will probably be late... I don't know, we'll see. I kind of want to make it really visually unique by using a bunch of Photoshop techniques I currently don't know. And I'm toying with the idea of including a TON of figures in the shot, but I've run into so many difficulties in the past when it comes to shooting large groups and still coming out with a good looking photo. I'll write this again as well as other miscellaneous updates in my next post, which has already been shot and is ready to go!

MONSTER WORLD # 1 (from 12/16/2015)
My local comic shop was awesome enough to special order this issue for me. My mind can't start a new and exciting series without being properly introduced to it.
Something sinister is lurking behind the cameras of world-famous World Studios, and it may not be human. When Detective Henry Barrymore is approached by a mysterious woman to investigate her husband's disappearance, he hardly expects to be embroiled in the workings of a mysterious cult who seem to have control over movie monsters. It's Casablanca meets Crowley in this supernatural noir mini-series!
BATMAN & ROBIN ETERNAL # 18
Everything that can go wrong does in both the past and the present! Batman spent years believing Mother was dead…and when you see their blood-soaked confrontation, you’ll know why! Now that she’s returned in the modern day, Batman’s allies will find themselves under siege from a world-destroying weapon they never saw coming! And on top of everything…Harper Row learns a devastating secret that will change her life forever—and potentially make her the most dangerous foe the Robins have ever faced!

Once again, that time has come. A shorter list today. Here's what's good...

I decided to use the Klaw/Drillex hand piece to make his blaster hand thingy and a Ninjago sword holder for his shoulderpad, and he also has a TLBM bwlt because I felt it also fit him. I really love all of the design and detail I put on him.
Hot Lunch Special # 1
From Eliot Rahal, the writer of Cult Classic, The Paybacks and Quantum & Woody comes HOT LUNCH SPECIAL, with art by Jorge Fornes (Amazing X-Men, Wolverine, Magnus)! A midwestern noir series set in the harsh landscape of the northern Minnesota Iron Range—HOT LUNCH SPECIAL is all about family, food and the fight for survival.
The Khourys are a fractious and quarrelsome Lebanese family who carved their slice of the American Dream by becoming the largest distributors of vending machine sandwiches in the upper northern Midwest.
Unfortunately, the Khourys’ gains have been ill-gotten, and a branch of the Chicago Irish Mob has come back to collect a past debt.

Now Dorothy Khoury, the daughter of the family patriarch, is forced to unite her splintered bloodline and fight back.

Medieval Spawn and Witchblade # 4
Spawn and Witchblade in a battle to end all battles to save our world. This series grand finale is not to be missed!
A preview of cool things to come. I’m slowly working my way through my Lego laundry list, and I can say with certainty that Christopher Priest’s current Deathstroke run WILL BE the next full ensemble shot. I'll include commentary on both the run as a whole and the mild controversy surrounding the ending of the Lazarus Contract. Next will be the new Justice League of America (only have one more member to build!), and then will be a gigantic Bat-Family shot, complete with Rebirth-revived 90’s classics (Stephanie Brown, Cassandra Cain, etc.) a few of Scott Snyder’s N52 creations (Bluebird, Duke, Batwing), and classic Bat-Family mainstays.
I haven’t forgotten about Marvel either - the X-Men are in the works, and I’ll be doing two Spider-Man group shots to coincide with the release of Homecoming. Several classic Avengers figures are already designed, and I’m strongly considering tackling on Hickman’s pre-Secret Wars Avengers team.
Finally, I’ll be writing up a lengthy retrospective on the first year of DC Rebirth. It’s going to come with a really grand shot with a ton of the Rebirth characters I’ve already made, with a great many of them updated. I’m going to have to modify my setup significantly to include so many minifigures in a single shot, but I think I’ll be able to get it done.

On an unrelated note, I was quite surprised to hear from one of my followers that I had been mentioned in a BrickShow video of their favorite custom DC minifigures. While I’m unsure if the reviewer was aware that I don’t actually manufacture custom parts, his choice of words seemed to indicate that he greatly admired my minifigure creations much more than anyone else on the list. When I heard about this, it really made my day. Check the link below at 2:07 if you want to hear what he had to say. :)

Well, here's the last member of my Clayface Mud Pack -- Detective Ethan Bennett. The customs are pretty simple really. I didn't build any "clay creations" for the pic since I wanted to showcase the figs how they would normally look.
In my ficverse he's pretty similar to his appearance in The Batman series. He is a supporter of the Batman and is Bruce Wayne's old friend within the Gotham City Police Department. He took courses at Gotham U with Bruce, namely Criminology and Forensic Science. He gets the ability to reshape himself like clay from coming into contact with an experimental formula the Joker was cooking up for one of his grand schemes. He takes up the name Clayface, and becomes an outlaw.

The main picture demonstrate what he mainly looks like. The human version is obviously what he looked like before the accident. The smaller boxed version is what Bennett looks like when he's not all rage'd up and attempts to do good.
Anyhow, let me know what you guys think. C&C are always welcomed an appreciated.

I'm a big fan of Batman, but I did not like the cowls that LEGO released in the Helmet series. When I stumbled upon the amazing Jumbo Machinder Batman by Angus, I borrowed the head design to turn it into a cool little Helmet set.
