Haunting Batman and Catwoman Portraits by Alex Ruiz

If you’re looking for a way into fanboys’ hearts, just stick glowing white eyes on Batman. It was cool to see Christian Bale sporting them towards the end of The Dark Knight, and it was even more exhilarating seeing Ben Affleck rock the glowing white eyes and Frank Miller-inspired armor in the Comic-Con teaser for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Artist Alex Ruiz goes a completely opposite but still pleasing route for this gritty and textured Batman portrait. Not being able to see the Caped Crusader’s eyes makes him a bit expressionless, but it also makes him more intimidating and unsettling. Ruiz’s Catwoman portrait also has very interesting eyes. The sheer size of them reminds me of a Margaret Keane, and the bat (Batsignal perhaps?) reflected in them is a nice touch.
