SubscribeNote: In recent years we’ve seen Batman pop up throughout human history, but this arresting rendition by artist Igor Kieryluk takes the cake. Taking the denizens of Gotham City back 553 years and moving them to Europe, Kieryluk gives us a stunning rendition of what the Dark Knight would be if he was actually a knight. – Chris A.

/ April 2, 2012I actually think having Batman being placed in a time when the concept of the knight was dying off, would work. Batman would use a sword instead of the new guns and other new weapons of war, as well as other techniques. He would hang on to the idea of honor and chivalry (an idealistic idea, even in the golden age of knighthood, but Batman, being born after the heyday of the knight would have only known the good parts) long after the rest of Europe began to depend on mercenary armies. I want to see Batman’s alter-ego and the other characters! Gordon would definitely be a sheriff, his daughter, a lady, except when she’s Batgirl. The art is incredible too!

/ April 5, 2012…How exactly does Twoface’s costume work? It looks like he’s two separate bodies that have been reanimated and sewn together like that for shits and giggles. Which has the dual pronged effect of making this Twoface very silly looking, and utterly horrifying.

twoface is 1/2 templar and 1/2 pagan
those are bands on the pagan side to hold the templar curiass on, there are no stitches to indicate his body is sewn
