Description
Happy 2012! I hope you all are enjoying the New Year as much as I.Ok! The first piece I'm submitting on deviant in the new year. This is part of something I created a while back called the "Ego Series" [link]
Sort of based of Frank Millers "Dark Knight Returns" story from the late 80's
I thought I'd show Bruce Wayne in his late 40's though.
THought that instead of making him a womanizing billionaire, playboy I'd make him more of a ruthless, money hungry, asshole of a business man who treats everyone around him like complete crap. From the press that interviews him to the employees that work under him. Sort of Gordon Gekko if yah will. Now even though this isn't who Bruce is subconsciously, he knows that if he Acts this way he must look the part. So I chose to grease back his hair, 5 o clock his face, drape him in an expensive suit and give him a smile to fit his endless sarcasm. A look that if he slid on a cheaper pair of threads, could pass as the some of the gangsters he pummel as the Bat.
Who would think an asshole like this would risk his life every night to save Gotham from the real ones. Not too many I'm thinking.

I really like your take on Bruce. I think it would really work. Not too much of a fan of the Bat in this one, but I understand where you were going with it.

Great take on the bats. His asshole personality as Bruce would ensure that no one would ever suspect him as Batman. great work

Genius idea! I wish we could see a series like that. It would make Bruce Wayne so much more interesting, kind of like how Downey's Tony Stark is fun and interesting, not just a place holder for Iron Man. Big fan of your work!

I really like your take on Wayne; Gordon Gekko of Gotham, so, 'Gotham Street', I suppose. Excellent design.

it's too bad good guys suck at playing bad in that sense I liked the batman as he was in the "Batman returns" movie, because even if he was a nice guy, not a playboy etc. he seemed very unlikely to take up a physical battle. If a man is led to the idea of trying to do good by making a costume, an expensive cave & fight crime physically, then surely he's had both time & effort to figure out how to do good WITHOUT the mask on, that to me, seems the more intelligent character

Nice! I super like that idea. Makes for a much better contrast than the actual playboy Bruce.

I LOVE your work but for some reason the Batman's proportions look too obscure to me. He looks like Gorilla Grodd from the neck down.

this interpretation could fit to the Dark Night Return Batman. He's kind of full of himself in this comics even though he's old, and fight quite big guys and do lots of mistake : this body-type making him less ninja like than other Batman fit...yeah

One problem with this is that Batman appears as a Boulder and not a Toned Ninja that can beat up 10 ''goons'' without taking a scratch and dissapear before they even hit the ground

I like the Bruce Timm animated series version the best. I think it made a lot more sense for him to be an intelligent, competent, philanthropist and businessman who was actually active in running Wayne Industries because that's what you would expect someone whose parents had died tragically leaving an incredible legacy behind to do; continue their work and try to live up their example, not tarnish it by acting like a tool. Same reason why I liked their Clark Kent the best; If you want Lois to like you for you and not the cape, why would act like a spineless, awkward, dork instead of just being the regular guy from Smallville that you really are underneath?

I always liked how DKR portrayed Bruce rather heavy-set. I prefer the more slender-agile look for Batman Beyond's Terry or whatever. So this is pretty awesome.
I also like the play on personality-cover, it does seem like a better idea than oblivious play boy.
