Description
Wanted to do something special for #150 and judging by the fact that I started crying when I was coloring this I think I made a good choice for subject matter. In addition to redefining the character of Mr. Freeze for the next 15+ years, "Heart of Ice" is still one of the most emotionally effective half hours of superhero animation ever.Prismacolor markers, colored pencil, and Gouache on 2.5 x 3.5 Bristol ACEO
EDIT: A couple of days after I posted this card, Mr Freeze's voice actor Michael Ansara passed away. This piece was originally intended as a tribute for the episode and his performance in it, but I would like to rededicate it to the memory of the man himself. Some fans will remember him best as Klingon Captain Kang from the Star Trek franchise or as Killer Kane in the Glen Larson version of Buck Rogers, but whatever character you know him as, his performances will live forever just like the icy, tragic villain he helped breathe new life into.

"I failed you. I wish there were another way for me to say it. But I cannot. I can only beg your forgiveness and pray you hear me somehow. Someplace where a warm hand awaits for mine..."

Naw, I don't sell prints of fan art. Too much copyright stuff to worry about, but I may ended up auctioning off the original when I get a few more cards done. I'll let you know if I list it.

It must have been the one of the first to air, because I think it's actually the first one I saw. It's my favorite of the series with "Mad as a Hatter" and "Almost Got'Em" coming in close second and third.

Awesomeness I love it. I agree "Heart of Ice" was epic and turned Mr. Freeze from a gimicky villain into a tragic figure

i love this episode! mr. is my all-time favorite villain. i hate it when people concider him to be the one of the worst.

The reason some people don't like him is because of the atrocity that came out a few years later known as Batman and Robin. Luckily, Arkham City redeemed him.

i didn't mind that movie, i mean yeah it is cheesy by still. it's a batman movie. but i'm glad arkham city did this.

It wasn't a great movie, but I personally liked it better than Batman Forever or Batman Returns. I still liked Mr Freeze despite all the other nonsense going on in the movie. *nods meaningfully at nothing like George Clooney.*

same haha although as far as the bats' actors go, Michael Keaton was the best in my opinion.

Sad story indeed, even sadder if you take into account her becoming Lazara after being put into a Lazarus Pit.

I was initially glad to hear that Nora's history was rewritten in the New 52, in the hopes that the whole Lazara thing had been undone, but apparently the revisions include making her a girl who was frozen in 40's and Victor Fries is a research scientist at Wayne Enterprises who becomes obsessed with her. So they changed him from tragic figure to psycho like most of Baman's other villains.

Yeah, and I'm like 80% sure that Lazara is going to happen again :/
