Description I was bored at work and started sketching out what I figured a medieval Justice League would look like. Started with Green Arrow (basically the same, just a bit more Robbin Hoodish), went to Batman (the Dark Knight, natch), and finished with Superman (trying for farmer's son turned adventurer kind of thing). I'll keep working through these while I've still got some down time.

Enjoy, comment, crit.

Why would a Paragon need a sword? Unless this version doesn't have the standard Superman powers.

Maybe he pulled it from a stone and people conflated him with Arthur. Otherwise, maybe it's a gift from his true parents with sentimental value.

Perfect for all. Green Arrow, of course, didn't need much of a change, the Dark Knight works very well, and I love the simplicity of Superman. Just a common man who decided to do what was right in his kingdom.

Thanks! I've got a few more in my gallery. Any you haven't seen that you'd like to? I have been thinking about revisiting this exercise and maybe updating some of my initial takes.

I did see the others! They were all wonderful. It could be interesting seeing how Booster & Ted fit into that group.
And I hope you do update/continue; it's a really neat concept & has that fun look I love in art.

Seems that Superman's look would be the most simple.

It gives him that much more of an trusting quality.

This is splendid, excellent designs and full of charm. DC should hire you for this medieval take on characters.

Batman is my favorite character in the DC universe..and u did him "justice". But my favorite of all the characters u have done is Supes. His costume is very simple, because he is the son of a farmer. But he still has the regal king Aurther look.
U are a BAD @$$

I like the Green Arrow, and I really like Superman, the long hair and facial hair really suits him [and that expression] for some reason.
Awesome linework, as always, mate.

This is pretty much the best idea ever. I love how Batman's blade is the bat symbol, very cool. Superman is my favorite here, he looks with the cape and the beard. Please do more of these!

Batman's helmet is too big for his body. Other than that - it's great !
