BatmanBatman in various heroic (and nonheroic) poses. Click on selected thumbnails for a larger image. Comments probably sound snarkier than they are meant to be. |
Batman, in the final shot of "Heart of Ice." That's a remarkable drawing of the moon he's standing against. Perhaps too remarkable, since it distracts somewhat from Batman himself. |
Batman's dapper alter ego. The BTAS Bruce Wayne was never really a convincing "playboy," possibly because no one ever looked sexy in a brown suit. From "Pretty Poison." | Okay, this is a lot "sexier," but it's also a little creepy, given that he's standing over the graves of his parents while looking very Eurotrashy. The final scene from "Nothing to Fear." |

"I said I wanted the T-rex in that corner of the Batcave!" Actually, he's shouting "Freeze!" but sometimes these heroic poses look a little funny out of context. From "Heart of Ice." |
Much better, even if he still seems to be commanding the workmen where to move the patio furniture. The first great pose from "On Leather Wings." |
But sometimes it just doesn't work. Case in point above, where it looks like his cape is attacking him from behind. From "The Last Laugh." | ||
This shot, on the other hand, is excellent on so many levels. Too bad it's stuck in the middle of "P.O.V." |
A highly uncharacteristic pose, from the close of "The Last Laugh." Seems closer to The Spirit than to the Batman we're used to seeing. |
The climactic gag to "Christmas with the Joker." Viewers might feel that the episode has done much the same to them. | ||
Wouldja look at that? Eight years later, for the direct-to-video Return of the Joker, the studio had the producers take out scenes that weren't even this bloody. From "On Leather Wings." |
Batman suffering doubts during "Nothing to Fear." The scene itself sucks, but this pose is quite affecting. | A more confident-looking Batman, out of costume in the Batcave. From "The Underdwellers." | ||
Another very confident-looking pose, this time from "Mudslide." Is it Batman or Bruce Wayne in this picture? Interesting question. He's in his office, but he's investigating a case... |
Undercover as a security guard at Ferris Boyle's Gothcorp. Check out the trained caterpillars. | More than once "Perchance to Dream" momentarily channels Ren and Stimpy, Check out this uncharacteristically wall-eyed look Bruce gets after seeing his dead parents. |

POWDERED ... TOAST ... MAN!!!! (Roll over for meretricious comparison.) |
There's something very disarming about the way Bruce almost falls for the old "nose flick" gag. |
One of the most stylish appearances Batman ever put in. The "reveal" in "Almost Got 'Im." |
