I’ve always had mixed feeling about this classic cover. The composition is excellent. Bane and his victims look great. (I’ve actually got a copy of this autographed by Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan; they were among my favorite creators when I was fervently collecting comics at college.)
But that’s got to be one of the ugliest Batmans I’ve ever seen, and I don’t think the cowl should look so much like a skull cap.

By the way, I am currently working my way through the Golden Age omnibus. It’s interesting to see how much the character changed in appearance, especially early on. Also, the stories weren’t as dark back then.

It was Frank Miller’s work in the late 1980’s that changed Batman forever, Robert.
