Batman Detective Comics #52 variant cover.

Every beautiful Batman cover that one wants to see has already been done. As someone who didn’t grow up with American comics, it was a huge challenge. At the end, I decided to focus on the environment Batman is in, rather than the character himself, hopefully to put emphasis on mood rather than action of the superhero.
