Saw the asks about folks asking about/or making suggestions on what your takes on the Bat-Rouges would be like, and looking at what you did with your Superman stuff, Martian Manhunter and Mal, and what you're doin' with Constantine, I can see why.
All I have to say to you and everyone else is "take your time" take aaalll the time you need because OH boy making SUPER original versions of the Superman mythos, and Martian Manhunter mythos is 10 times easier than reinventing anything from batman's side of things and having it be original. And if you intend to just not do it at all, its also fine.
Just follow your heart.
Thank you! That's very kind. And for the folks who asked for Batrogues, don't feel bad either! I totally understand the thinking behind seeing an artist make fun remixes of Martians/ Superman/ Constantine and wanting to see how they would handle your favorite characters. And chances are, the Batfam/Batrogues are your favorite characters, because they're popular! But the more popular a characters is, the more comics/adaptations they have, the more interpretations there are, and the more overwhelmed I am with how to remix them.
All of this started because I wanted to see more Martian Manhunter art, so I made my own! Since then I've had a soft spot for the niche less popular characters in general, and I love the challenge of modernizing and revitalizing characters with so little material. Or in the case of Superman, a take (being an immigrant) rarely committed to. That's where my excitement is currently!
