My favourite part of drawing Batman is usually the cape. The cape makes the drawing.

The Silver Age Justice League. I drew this back in 2019 for DC when I was drawing a lot of omnibus and collection covers for them. For some reason, DC decided not to use it and it's sat in my files ever since. I thought it would be nice to share it now.
