I picked this week's subject matter, exactly so I could draw Batman in a bat-themed Roman centurion outfit. My inspiration was of course DC's recently revealed Return of Bruce Wayne comic covers, my stupid-enormous passion for ancient Rome, and the fact that I'm pretty sure my fellow LAWyers would have hated me if I'd asked them to draw Dr. Druid (next time, though).
I took the pose from a Jim Lee Hush pic, and then kind of immediately fucked it up. Between the nightmare happening with Batman's right foot and the fact that I'm not nearly competent enough to draw all those straps around Batman's groin and shoulders, I decided to leave it in pencil to keep it from looking too atrocious. I feel it was a good move.

Love the helmet.
Ben, if you suspected that the helmet was the only thing I had properly thought out before I suggested Time Lost Batman as our subject, you would only be 100% correct.
I believe it as it sounds similar to what my process would have been.
Is he holding a rolling pin?
I hope you got that custom Roman Centurion Batman figure we had made for ToyFare... There was a cowboy Batman, too.
Fun fact: Morrison told me he thought about doing Gladiator Batman, but then decided it would only make sense to do stuff that could conceivably have existed where Gotham City currently is.
Epic...I would definitely read this.
