Most batlike?

[circa81]

What artist drew Batman the most inhuman looking, and not just like a guy in a suit? Any pics?

 

[Cain]

Kelley Jones comes to mind.

Any others?

Although Jones is one of those artists fans either love or hate, (I kinda like him myself), I'm gonna agree with Cain on this one. I can't think of any other artist that makes Batman look quite so inhuman, I always think "vampire" when I see a KJ Batman, and NOT just because of the Red Rain books.

I can't agree more with the you'll love it or hate it thing with Kelly Jones. Batman Bloodstorm was the first comic my dad bought me as a kid so I'm rather fond of his work. I love how moody and exaggerated his stuff is. One gripe I have is he's very inconsistent. His characters look different in every panel and alot of times the proportions are way off.

Love this pic but look at that giant knee. LOL. Batman don't get much more inhuman than that!

Same here. Generally I like his work, very stylish and original, but occasionally he misses the mark.

Moench and Jones's run was one among the greatest.

Kelley Jones is good for a little bit of diversity, but I wouldn't want to see Batman like that all the time. Anatomy is also extremely wrong.

Berni Wrightson is another one you could check out, but Batman does rarely ever look like a bat, tbh

Bob Kane and Sheldon Moldoff and Jerry Robinson drew Batman looking very bat-like with his face hidden behind his cape. Very stark, lots of black. Mysterious and menacing, which is important to a character who is suppose to be dressing like a bat to strike terror in criminals hearts.

Bill Sienkiewicz drew Batman in shadow and with long bat-ears and long flowing cape that looks like batwings.

Dave McKean panted Batman in shadow with his face and even his eyes obscured with just gritted teeth showing occasionally and long bat-ears and long flowing cape that looks like batwings.

And Kelley Jones draws Batman in shadow often so you can't see his face, just gritted teeth and the white eye slits, and long demonic looking bat-ears and long flowing cape that looks like batwings and gloves with points at the finger tips like claws and his face hidden behind his cape occasionally.

And the actual Earth-43 Vampire Batman created by Doug Moench and Kelley Jones appearing in Batman vs. Dracula: Red Rain, Bloodstorm, Crimson Mist (which are all reprinted in the TPB Tales of the Multiverse: Batman Vampire), Infinite Halloween Special "Red Rain: Blood Lust", Countdown: Arena, and Countdown Presents: The Search for Ray Palmer
: Red Rain), is of course much more monstrous with actual bat-wings and fangs that are not just part of a costume.

I don't think anyone would look at Batman and think "Bat".

 

[Comics N' Toons]

I think Jones, Breyfogle and Bob Kane drew him most like a bat!
