Some vile thug is very unfortunate to be on the receiving end of that right fist! Very nice!

 He always looks so much more intense without the yellow oval around the bat.

The yellow oval, while I have become used to it to the point that it sometimes seems wrong to draw Batman without it, was just one big intrusion of the real world into the comics. "Superman's chest emblem is trademark-able. Batman's isn't! Let's do something about that."

Ironically, all this really accomplished was allowing the knock-off artists to put anything roughly bat-shaped into a circle/elipse of any color, and have civilians think "Batman". (Excepting, of course, those civilians who did not follow the evolution of the symbol, as we fans did, so don't see a bat at all, just ugly yellow teeth!)

Great Batman JB! Looks very similar to the look you gave Batman in MOS #3.

The length of the cape is perfect. One thing that bothers me is the artists who insist on making the cape so long that it looks as if it would get in the way of all of Batman's movement, making it extremely difficult to maneuver in the ways that he must in order to survive. The cape as drawn here is long enough to achieve the dramatic effect it should, without overwhelming the person wearing it.

As JB has said... the cape (or tail or what-have-you) is as long as it needs to be.

Very nice!

Is there any Wrightson influence in the musculature?
