The budgeted Batman is the entire point of the picture. I have this strange feeling that you didn't even feel like taking the trouble to move the mouse around and click it a few times taking you to look. But oh no you mustn't be bothered by such a grand task as that, NO. - Sixcolors, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3“I wanted to do a Batman limited by a middle class income.

At what point did you stop reading?

Surely the blogspot servers can handle Digg. >=3
Seriously, if you are going to show off some art from someone, link to THEIR OWN ***** SITES, as opposed to your personal blog *****. - BARTZ13, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3http://www.sirmikeofmitchell.com/myspace/batman400.jpg
- Godlike, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3Digg is the bittorrent of DOS attacks.

His blog: http://mikepmitchell.blogspot.com/ - jbess, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1i was expecting something that conveyed, you know, batman on a budget... not whatever this is supposed to be.
- skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Digg needs a image section. Can't you see it Kevin?
- jman8888, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1fail
- bwayne1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Ok, that's just weird. I wrote a post last week about what Batman-on-a-budget would look like, and put a call out to artists to illustrate him for me. This artist's rendering is basically what I described. Anybody know when he created it? Surely before last week.
http://www.greatwhitesnark.com/2007/07/19/you-dont-have-to-be-rich-to-be-batman/- nublet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2"So I havent done any art for myself in about 7 months. (I do plenty at work!) I've been wanting to do a Batman piece for weeks now, and I finally got around to it.
The idea is that this is a Middle Class Batman. Its still Bruce, and his parents were still murdered, but they were never rich, and he still ended up becoming Batman...but with a bit of a budget.

- Kerath, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2Next up: Batman on a respirator. Seriously, why the cigarette?
- Sixcolors, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Can you imagine the stress a blue-collar Batman would be under? Paying the mortgage on top keeping his gear in shape, the man needs a smoke once in a while. Besides, it looks like he's more than 20 feet from the entrance to any buildings, so he won't be giving you any of that second hand emphysema that people are so paranoid about.
- Synthos, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Batman must be weak I don't need cigarettes to chill out from my crime fighting.

- Homoomo, on 10/10/2007, -6/+0Hhmmm... taking batmans billions away is like taking peter parker away from spiderman... not cool
- Matri, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4You really don't understand the whole concept of "What Ifs", do you?
- IbuddhaI, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6This guys art is awesome.

- devinroche, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0ummm...no.
- Cole2026, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2For some reason that drawing reminds me much of the combine in Half Life.
- omjeremy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1lol... hilarious! I also think this image (though not about Batman) is really funny: http://sirmikeofmitchell.com/myspace/p3.jpg
- LegOfLamb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Woah, this guy is pretty good. The one with the ice cream cone screaming "My God, I'm delicious!" is probably the best, but the ones of Stephen Colbert and George Bush are really good too.
- gcnaddict, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1blogspam.
- nesdude985, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1The artwork is awesome, but the idea is lame. To me, part of the appeal of Batman is that he is rich.
- lardlung, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Part of the appeal of fantasy is that it can be manipulated to create new ideas and concepts for the varied tastes of different people, whether serious, absurd, terrifying, sad, or lighthearted - the realm of "what if" doesn't hold the same boundaries as "what is"; and can be presented in different angles without changing the core material or idea. There are a thousand different concepts and re-imaginings of Batman and every other superhero out there. It's what makes it fun. Branch out a little and explore an alternate-alternate reality once in a while. If nothing else, it may make you appreciate the core material all the more. I like this. I don't know if it'd make a good long-term series or movie, but it's at least an amusing re-imagination of a fantasy image that you're taking for granted.
Bat-mite it's not. thank god. - Gorrondonuts, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1...ahem... what he said ^^^^

- MikeMitchell, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Hey thanks for the kind and not so kind comments guys.
Sorry if the blog went down (flickrfy.com that is, it's not mine.) I doubt Lee thought this would make it to the front page

- fearofsociety, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Interesting idea. The Batman story if he wasn't rich. I would buy this book if it existed.
