Go West, Young Bunny.

Ty the Guy OUT.

It goes without saying how much Adam West impacted my life.  I was EXACTLY the right age to become a lifelong fan when Batman come into our living room in 1966.  I remember the Adam West style Batman and Robin costumes my mother sewed for my brother and me when the show was still on the air.  I remember how excited I was to grow out of the Robin costume and finally fit into the Batman suit so I could be the Caped Crusader for Halloween in 1970.  It’s no coincidence that the lion’s share of my work for DC Comics takes place in Gotham City, from the animated Batman series, to the recent Batman 66 series, starring Adam West himself, it’s always my happiest place to be with Batman.

Thanks for the recent animated movies, and “Back to the Batcave” and Family Guy.  Thanks for the years of unbridled joy.

Thanks.

 

I sketch Adam West style Batman covers at conventions ALL the time.  It’s likely the most common request I get.  Here’s a few of them from the last year or so… I’m sure there will be many more–

This is, maybe, my favourite portrait I ever did of Adam West’s Batman.  It’s hard to see in this image, but this drawing is on the back of a playing card, a fan brought to the table, and is only about three inches tall.

Everything You Need to Know About Lego Batman in Four Panels! YAY!

I’ve joined the cult.  Can I have my millions now?

Everybody knows everything about Batman.  That’s kind of the point of the new Lego Batman movie…but does everybody know everything about the Lego Batman Movie?

A-hah!

Thank god I’m here.

I’m not kidding about the Easter Eggs.  You have to keep your eyes peeled at all times for road signs, boutique stores, background characters, minor cameos, major cameos, crossover characters and DC shout-outs.  Bring a pad and paper and encourage your friends to do so as well, just to keep track of them all.

And hey, 4th out of about a dozen Batman movies isn’t that bad.  It’s still 4th.

Ty the Guy OUT!

As delightful as the new Batman Lego movie is, everyone out there knows it’s the THIRD Lego Movie to feature Batman, right?

At least this one doesn’t have Zach Galifianakis.

Holy Batman Day, Old Chum! Bat-Toons! YAY!

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Bun Toons!

Hey folks!  It’s BATMAN DAY and I’m already up and out of the house, visiting the fine Bat-fans at One Million Comics in Toronto (531 Yonge St, just south of Wellesley), signing comics, doing sketches, annoying the fans, etc.

Since I haven’t the spare ten seconds to toon any buns before I leave this morning,  I leave you with a heaping helping of Bat-Toons from Bun Toons past….a TOP TEN Batman Bun Toon-a-palooza!

Who says this isn’t the Bunny Age of Gotham City Satire?

This Elseworlds Toon was created before Brian Williams got into trouble, so ignore his recent history.

———————————————————————————————-

Batman won his battle.  The Spectre is still fighting Stephen Hawking.

————————————————————————————————-

Shout out to Dan Slott, who kind of wrote Batman at Noon…

———————————————————————————————-

I’ve just been informed that DC is turning the above Toon into a twelve issue mini-series.

————————————————————————————————-

Okay…that one might have been just for me.  How many of you have Pete Best albums?  Anyone?  I own TWO.

————————————————————————————————–

Still waiting for a TOS Star Trek meets Batman 66 miniseries.  I’m ready…

———————————————————————————————–

The cartoon is on youtube if you HAVE to see it.

———————————————————————————————–

There…now you don’t have to see that movie.  Except for the Catwoman bits.

————————————————————————————————-

But you SHOULD be watching Gotham.  It’s still a hoot.

—————————————————————————————————

Yeah, I know I reprint that one all the time….but this is a top ten.

See you at One Million Comics!

Ty the Guy OUT!

If you make it out to visit us at the store, here’s what I’ll be doing…

Cover sketches, baby!  Bring me a blank cover (and a little of that folding money) and I’ll muck up the cover with one my doodles on it.

Whee.

See you there!

Holy Bat-Toons, Bunny-Man! YAY!

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-BUN TOONS!

I am SO behind the deadline on my latest issue of Batman 66 that it would be immoral for me to devote any time to anything but drawing Batman today.  I love the Rabbit, but the Bat pays the bills.

So today, a few Batman themed Bun-Toons from yesteryear to bide the thronging legion of Bun Toons fans until I get a spare minute for this  year’s Christmas Bun Toon (coming soon!)

….of course, Batman can defeat any biblical creature, including Jesus.

….the one thing he cannot defeat is a second rate screenplay.

————————————————————————————————-

Batman Elseworlds was the very FIRST Bun Toon up on this site.  It’s been downhill ever since.

——————————————————————————————–

 

From an idea by Dan Slott (name dropping bastard that I am).

———————————————————————————————

Sorry to be a re-run today, folks.  There’s a moment where I’d be cheating on my editor if I didn’t spend my day fighting the deadline.

Ya see, Mr. Chadwick?  I can be responsible?

Ty the Guy OUT!

The Bonus:

I do kind of love my job.

Go West, Young Man

Just found out!  Sketched this as FAST AS I COULD!

And just so folks don’t think I’m trapped in a forever-Batman past, here’s a much more recent photo of the birthday boy.

Though, it’s clear he’s had work done.  You can see erase marks around the eyes.
