P:R Redesign: Denis Medri’s 1950s Batman!

P:R Redesign: Denis Medri’s 1950s Batman!:
Note: In recent Batman stories we’ve seen renditions of how Batman would have appeared in past historical times, but after seeing this submission by Denis Medri I feel like DC missed out on something big time. Hailing from Italy, this artist dreamt up a 1950s greaser Batman that is startling at how great it is. “Greaser Batman” might seem pretty cliche, but seeing Medri’s illustration here it comes off as a no-brainer. And check out that souped up Batmobile! – Chris A.

Mark Vick’s Batman Beyond!

Note:In recent years many of the official super-hero redesigns have leaned into hyper-detailed realism: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But this design by video game character artist Mark Vick of the Batman from Batman Beyond really showed you when it can work. – Chris A.

Andy Trabbold’s Wonder Twins!

link from P:R Redesign: Andy Trabbold’s Wonder Twins!:
Note: They’re arguably the most memorable twins in super-hero comics, but they’re also one of the most strange. Originally created for DC’s late-70s animated show The All-New Super Friends Hour, artist Andy Trabbold gives the twins a more serious visage.  - Chris A.

Here’s what Andy had to say about the designs:
I wanted them to feel more alien but still keep the feel of Zann and Jayna. The colors are close to their original outfits but darkened a tad. The suits are similar but not identical- after all, they’re twins, not clones. In regards to the chest symbols: I always dug the idea that Superman’s S symbol is actually the symbol for the House of El that happens to resemble a human letter. I did the same here- the twin’s chest symbols are alien markings that resemble earth language letters.
