How long is too long?

How long is too long?

What is the golden point between head-stubs and Bat-Antlers?

Depends on the context of the story.

Neal Adams' Bats had the perfect length.

Horror/noir = long.
Cape/scifi = short
Detective/martial arts book = Mid

Why

>Cape
???

Isn't literally all of batman capeshit?

There's no such thing as too short. The shortest versions look the least bad.

No.

But also, this shit can't work with short ears

Which one, Sup Forums?

The Ear length is determined by how edgy the series or run is.

First one.

first

this guy gets it

In what direction? TDK series is the edgiest Batman has ever been.

>There's no such thing as too short. The shortest versions look the least bad.
Really, user? REALLY?

Came here to post this.

Nick Derrington, current artist for Doom Patrol, draws a fucking sexy Batman. Those trunks, those gloves, them boots.

And look at those ears. Look how they flow from the cheeks, I bet he'd look sweet as just a head and cape, dodging and swerving and shit.

I fucking love Derrington.

for that specific cowl it's best to just go with the last one, but it depends entirely on how the rest of the head is shaped

Yes, really. There's no point to having giant ears on a mask, you should make them as understated as possible.

Are you ready for me to exist again?

Bill finger made them long. Sprunger made them short.

Medium length is Batman's best look. I hate how it's become the norm to draw them as stubby as possible, when it used to vary from artist to artist.

Left is literally perfect, although I kind of like the middle too.

>someone's menstrual blood art project got confused for a Batman comic

Year one costume showed up in a fast food glass. Dc rebirth previews hinted at carmines.

Neal Adams version no where to be found. Unless he dropped it earlier pre Jason Todds death in rebirth history.

>not knowing the masterpiece that is A Serious House on a Serious Earth

Leave.

The neal adam ones isn't shown during Jasons rebirth origin or death.

So pre 1983 adventures to below.

Bisley's style is to exaggerate everything. I mean he helped revamp Lobo for fuck's sake. Using him as an example is not a good move.

Are you sure my chum?

Long as hell baby.

...

There's no point to dressing like a bat in the first place.

Again, not viable because that is his style and it will never be canon. Nothing he does would be canon. It is too edgy for DC and casuals. That is why it is a moot (r.i.p cancerous sell out) point.

It was canon. Artists would draw long ears in the tube costumes.

Bats first two masks had v angle ears, we never went back.

Heyyyyyyh

...

noncanon

All canon.

Joeyfnk is a fat retard.

I thought the rubber Burton suit actually got the ears just right. Perfect length and width

...

Yeah the neal adams costume replaced with trokia in the 90s.

Only for the boots and gloves to revert the shapes then become part of the costume again.

Why didn't they stick with the black? It looks so good.

Because of the retro tas style costume later.

Morrisons run used a version of the troika costume and spiderman/batman.

...

...

They should go on forever like Doug Dimmadome's hat.

The lettering is impossible to read. Well done DC.

If it's supposed to be scary or sad then I think long. If it's supposed to be gritty, more like a brawler/action or he's old, then short. Everything else can be medium.

Short also works for comedy.

Subtle coloration shift. Much like Spider-Man's old red/black suit, artists would slip and shade it more sparingly, causing the inkers to ink it less heavily, until it just looked like a darker version of the old suit. Now, this wasn't the case across the board, but by the time artists started drawing it more consistently during No Man's Land, the switched to the retro suit right afterwards.

Batman's golden age mask was pure cowlkino.

Mainly because it actually resembled the shape of a bat's head.

What is this from

The shorter, the better.
Batman should be a stocky, brawler type who looks like he could clean out a room full of mooks with nothing but a smoke pellet and his own fists.

Are you implying there's anything wrong with Westman?

This. I like my bats with long ears and huge capes.

Reminds me of the design from The Batman show from '05. I always loved that look of his mask with the nose

If it's horror/surreal, long is GOAT. Otherwise, short.

Long ears and a giant ass cape please
