A modern master visits Gotham for the month of October — for the fourth straight year…
For the fourth straight year, superstar artist Chris Samnee is posting online a new Batman black-and-white sketch every day for the month of October — and for the fourth straight year, we’re highlighting 13 of his grooviest illustrations.
This started a few years ago with Inktober but a lot of artists have branched off into their own October celebrations. With Samnee, he’s doing Batober — but the concept is the same. Each day, he takes a single word, spins a fitting image and puts it online, in this case Instagram.
Here’s his list of 2020 prompt words:
And here are 13 of our faves. Plus, don’t forget there’s still another week to go. You can check out the rest at Chris’ Instagram page; he’ll be auctioning each off soon.
In the meantime, dig these beauties:

Why isn’t this man drawing a Batman title RIGHT NOW?
Give him his own book, free of continuity. Just classic, timeless Batman stories. Sell hundreds of thousands of copies, DC. C’mon.

Nooooo… they would rather have Batman be a depressed beta male, with a bait-and-switch marriage to Catwoman.

It’d be cool to see Chris Samnee team up with Nick Derrington since their styles are similar. Nick would provide layouts while Chris would provide finishes.
