I know, I’ve continued to be bad at updating my blog in a timely manner. However, at least this time<\/em> I can say that it’s because I was actually drawing and coloring and I didn’t want to stop to write a blog post!<\/p>\n

Today I’m presenting the first two parts in a series of re-designs of Batman’s many “sons.”<\/p>\n

I’ve been thinking about Batman a lot since I watched The Dark Knight Rises<\/em> (which I loved). My enjoyment of the movie really just led me down a path of remembering how much I love Batman and his extended ‘family.’ I started doodling Batman characters in my spare time, and it wasn’t too long before I started messing with their look.<\/p>\n

My doodles started taking shape when I started to think of them as an assignment for a hypothetical cartoon series. These re-designs imagine a future timeline combining elements from the comic book continuity (pre-New 52) and the Bruce Timm animated universe. For context as to how far in the future this timeline exists–Damian Wayne is in his mid-20s. More on him in a future installment!<\/p>\n

For now, let’s kick things off with Dick Grayson<\/a>, AKA Nightwing:<\/p>\n
