One of Oracle’s fiercest enemies finds her alone and far from her allies and safe houses – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg as Batman returns! Rising star artist Ardian Syaf (BRIGHEST DAY) makes his BIRDS OF PREY debut in a story you must not miss, which we’re calling ”The Death of Oracle”!

Pretty cool, can't say I care for the ring around the Bat symbol though.

If Batman died would the tombstone say Bruce Wayne or Batman or both?

I would forward this as the definitive Dark Knight, a perfect blend of his incarnations, man. I see a blend of the Arkham Asylum game graphic, as well as the movie version, even the longer-head style of Jim Aparo in the 70s (as opposed to the shorter head of Jim Lee /Frank Miller).

Can you do an Influence Map? I wonder if it would include Street Fighter II art from the 90s...judging by the type of muscles in these works.

This is a superlative interpretation of the Batman.

I love when artist development this kind of serious, sober image of batman.
The costume looks very classic and the fabric texture really makes it work.

One of the best ones so far...

I really admire your work. I love to do character work especially DC, but I can never get the face right when it comes to batman. Its truly an amazing thing that not only have you given each character their own separate structure, but you stay true to that structure every time you do each one. Great job, you have really made an impact on me as an artist :joy:

It was your work here that got me interested in comics again, and the reason for my latest binge in comic-buying after darkest night and brighest day. You do great work, and it's always a pleasure to see you sharing it here with all the people who may not have had the chance to see it in the comics yet.

The goddamn Batman looks pretty badass in this, too.
