an awesome new Nguyen Bat-Rogues piece
Dustin Nguyen's cover from the upcoming Batman 80-Page Giant:

Can I just gave Nguyen paint a whole series about the Bat-Rogues? Please? Oh please?
I mean, I have my nitpicks. His Joker needs something a bit... more. He just looks like a guy grinning. And I don't know why Nguyen and others draw the Penguin with a tiny nose. I mean, seriously, if there's anything that's penguin about Ozzie, it's that. Also, I resent even Hush's eye being included in that roster.
But all in all, I absolutely adore this piece. Nguyen's clearly inspired by Batman: The Animated Series, and thus he takes those influences and employs them splendidly with comic versions of characters like Freeze and Croc (who I strongly feel should look like that all the time).
And, more to the point of me posting this here at all... I love his Harvey. I actually wrote a whole thing about why, but Firefox ate it, so whatever. I'll just let it speak for itself in this case.
