Mike Perkins gives it a different spin…
By now you know how excited we get whenever we come across a new cover or image that pays homage to the classic 1966 Batman and Robin “rooftop pinup” by Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson.
You know the one:
We’ve featured it a lot over the years, and for very good reason: It’s not only a great image in its own right, it’s inspired a lot of terrific art.
Here’s the latest example — Mike Perkins’ compelling cover for November’s The Bat-Man: Second Knight #2.
Dig the solicitation:
THE BAT-MAN: SECOND KNIGHT #2
Written by DAN JURGENS
Art and cover by MIKE PERKINS
Variant covers by MARC ASPINALL and NIMIT MALAVIA
The Scarecrow emerges in Gotham City, and fear consumes the streets! And now that he has
the murderous Hangman to do his bidding, the stage is set for Scarecrow’s next grand act. With
terror and psychosis at a fever pitch across Gotham, the Bat-Man struggles to tame the city
without destroying his personal life as Bruce Wayne…leading him to make a fateful decision
about his relationship with Julie Madison…
