These are some posters I made for my upcoming story Shadow of the Bat. I hope you like them.
And here is a preview of that story, let me know what you think.
Shadow of the Bat
A deep voice speaks as the city is shown is shown from above in all of its magnificence “Gotham city, a city gripped with corruption and fear, a city that has vested its spirit and soul in one man. They do not know how much they depend on him. He is what keeps this God forsaken land alive, he unjustly fills these people with a false sense of hope. They look to him for protection from the degradation and corruption as the city falls to pieces around them. They plead for him and yet they damn him.”
In the exclusive night club the Iceberg Lounge, the club’s owner Oswald Cobblepot is having a meeting with known crime boss Rupert Thorne, for you see Cobblepot is also the criminal known as the Penguin. Penguin was telling Thorne that the arms shipment they were expecting should arrive in Gotham in a little over a week, Thorne drinking from a glass a brandy, said that this was the best news he had heard in weeks. Thorne began to raise his glass to his lips when it shattered in his hand, he and Penguin look in shock at the wall near Thorne, they see a bat shaped shurken lodged in the wall. They turn to see a broken window, and a shadowy figure breaking through the remains. Batman landed in the room as several of the Penguin’s men came running into the room. Many of the men opened fire on Batman as Penguin and Thorne dove behind objects for cover. Batman worked his way through the room easily dispatching the thugs he elbowed a man behind him in the jaw as he punched another in front of him. He ran toward two men armed with guns, he jumped in the air and did a spinning windmill kick, taking both men out. Three remaining three tried to rush him, he took out the first with an uppercut to the jaw, the second he defeated with a leg sweep and a blow to the gut. The final man wrapped his arms around Batman, trying to crush him, Batman head butted the man repeatedly until the thug was dazed, Batman then threw a swift jab to the man’s throat rendering him unconscious. Batman turned and saw Penguin reaching for a umbrella holder, Penguin reached in and pulled out a gun! Before he could even point it at Batman, Batman threw a Batarang at him, causing him to drop the gun. Batman then approached the two mob bosses, and spreads his cape, covering the camera dramatically.
Not long after that the police are shown outside of the club staring at the bound Penguin and Thorne hanging from the roof. Detective Bulloch walks up to Commisioner Gordon “Ya know, he could of at least hung em from a lower spot.” Gordon sighs and shakes his head as some men move a ladder truck towards the pair of criminals.
That same night in the Gotham slums an old movie theater erupts into flames, people on the streets stop and stare as the building burned. They waited for the firemen, but Gotham was in the middle of a drought, so neither the water nor the firemen ever came.
The deep voice begins speaking again “This city is burning, it is infected by a disease, a disease that must be destroyed. They look to the Bat for a cure, but they do not realize he is part of the disease. The city has vested their spirit in him, and that spirit will only be broken, when someone has broken his.”
Well, let me know what you think. This is only part of the opening.
