JUSTICE LEAGUE: MORTAL Concept Art Shows Batman's Funeral, Black Suit Superman, And More

 

More Justice League Mortal/Miller. Flash and Martian Manhunter approach Batman’s coffin. I’d never seen an Art Deco cathedral before so what the hey! 😄 part of a storyboard/keyframe/design sequence for the funeral at the start. Pencil, photoshop. #conceptart #matthatton #justiceleague #justiceleaguemortal #georgemiller #flash #martianmanhunter #artdeco #artdecocathedral

You sad, bro? Batman was the ‘mortal’ of Justice League: Mortal. Maybe a slightly controversial moral barometer for the team, but being human with no powers the best representative/voice of human reason to a group of Gods/immortals. #conceptart #storyboard #matthatton #justiceleague #justiceleaguemortal #georgemiller #batman

Here’s the wider version- Supes had brought the whole of the Kent farmhouse to the fortress of solitude. That’s Aquaman in the ice block there. The usual pencil then painted in photoshop. #conceptart #matthatton #justiceleague #justiceleaguemortal #georgemiller #fortressofsolitude #superman #brrr

Miller’s Justice League again - I did a Supes sans the red undies too as you see here which caused a bit of consternation! It does streamline him and make him look nice and tall. Also worked on Superman Returns and had some personal/subjective ideas about the balance of that costume too! 😄 #conceptart #matthatton #justiceleague #justiceleaguemortal #georgemiller #superman

So about a decade ago I worked on the George Miller version of Justice League. Here’s a black suited Supes way before the Snyderverse. He was floating above a funeral - in that one it was Bats not Suped who’d ‘died’ (but not really)! #conceptart #justiceleague #justiceleaguemortal #superman #georgemiller #supermanblacksuit #matthatton

Bacchanalian party at Batman’s house! Woot! More Justice League Mortal, this time Wayne Manor. I had Bosch’s Garden of Earthly delights in the illuminated dancefloor triptych 😄. Seemed appropriate. #conceptart #matthatton #justiceleague #justiceleaguemortal #waynemanor #batman #heironymusbosch #partyman

This one was crazy! So remember how Superman brought Kent Farmhouse to the Fortress of Solitude? It went through a whole arc where George thought maybe bringing the whole thing there was a bit on the nose (Supes was having an existential crisis about his identity/loyalties) so maybe inside it’s a bit frosted over. Then maybe the house is real but the furniture is made from ice (heat vision)? Then maybe the other furnishings? Then finally ok make the whole place ice Matt! 😄 surely they have cg for this sorta stuff... 😜 It started out as a paintover of someone else’s house interior (I promise if I ever remember whose I’ll give credit) and ended up being a totally new painting! #conceptart #matthatton #justiceleague #justiceleaguemortal #georgemiller #superman #fortressofsolitude #kentfarm

Back to Wayne Manor - a smaller room off the main hall. This one was a bit of an exercise in being opulent/ornate without blowing the budget. So everything here is step-and-repeat/molded or cheaty stuff like printed and lacquered floors for a faked parquetry look and so on... had fun with just pencil and some asymmetrical flopping in pshop! #conceptart #matthatton #justiceleague #justiceleaguemortal #georgemiller #batman #waynemanor
