@karbacca: :D Well it's not like comics don't defy the laws of physics. ^_^ But still that belt needs more complexity or something to give it some... "soul".
Styling is a personal preference and he can and has chosen how he wants to portray his character. Whoever looks at it can like or dislike that version. I only wonder if he is clicking his heels because he is happily showing off his Batarang protrusion. : P
hehe, I thought they started the vine topic on where his batarangs went because of this thread :)I agree though a little on every side here, styling is all personal preference and is totally open to interpretations on design. Overall I do get the 'Miller' feeling when I look at it so I'd say main mission accomplished there.
As for the cape, I tend to agree with Gorex about the direction although not for the same reasons of physics, rather I've found with things like portraits and shots like these the flow of direction almost always feels better going from left to right. It's probably got a lot to do with the fact most people read in that direction and it's not uncommon for the eye to just start that way when analyzing a picture.
What happens when you flow out and cut off to the left like that is a more 'static' feeling to the main subject. Picture the same thing reversed with it fading off to the right, and the same picture becomes more dynamic and your eye actually starts with Batman then, and not his cape.
This isn't really a rule of course, it's just one of the mental things that happen subliminally to the viewers eye when they look at something like that.
