Batman Ninja comes out to the public this month so I can finally start making a print series! I really wanted to do something based on hanafuda cards; my family has some sets, yet I never learned to play…but I’ve always loved the designs of each suit! To start, here’s Dick and Jason 🙂 Dick’s is based on the March suit which is designed with sakura and flower viewing curtain. Jay’s is centered on the August suit and, because I’m a sucker for patterns and symbolism, the design on his robe is based on the ayakashi Noh mask: these characters are vengeful spirits, usually warriors.
Will probably adapt these to shirt designs once all of them are done, too.
Okay so Batman Ninja, it starts exactly like the trailer: everyone gets sent back in time to feudal Japan where Joker rules. Then they encounter a talking monkey in the forest who gives them power to turn into magical boys and they use the power of love and friendship to bring balance back to Japan and the timeline.
I’M KIDDING. But the movie has even better stuff and I can’t wait for it to come out next week because I think everyone will really enjoy it!
Elsewhere, on League business, Bruce gets the sudden, inexplicable urge to yell at his children.
I have a history of playing Cards Against Humanity against myself and casting doubt upon the integrity of my character in my doodles. The Young Justice kids host a game here. The Titans Fab Five play a round here.
