Tumblr to Twitter
With the current decline in fandom art and discussion on tumblr (thank you 2019...), I’ve finally created a twitter account with a new name: @NightLink_Art
So come check me out for (hopefully) more drawings and doodles this year!
In which Batman gives away his sidekick cuz he couldn’t remember to go out and get a real gift... I’m trying a thing. I hope I make it!
A little late for the spooky season, but still worth sharing...
Remembering Norm (1960–2018)
In Memoriam: Norm Breyfogle
Earlier this month (24 September), it was announced that Norman Keith “Norm” Breyfogle has died. At fifty-eight, he was much too young to go. He was an American artist, best known for his comic book art on the Batman franchise from 1987 to 1995. During his time on the Batman book, he co-created the villains Ventriloquist, Ratcatcher, Anarky, Jeremiah Arkham, Victor Zsasz, and Amygdala. In 1992 he was tapped to redesign Batman. However, two years prior, he was also approached, along with a number of artists, to redesign Robin. While DC Comics eventually chose the design from Neal Adams, Norm Breyfogle submitted many designs and even penciled the first instance where Tim Drake official became Robin (center). Imaged Used:
Batman (Vol. 1) #457 by Norm Breyfogle (Center)
It’s Batman Day today (15 September)! To commemorate, I’ve done a photoset of fellow Robins: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, and Damian Wayne that have used the title: Batman in any continuity, possible futures, and different worlds. Related Post

Happy Batman Day!
Who can deduce which Batboy is which without looking it up?
(Tales of the new teen titans #37 and Batman and the outsiders #5)
The mysterious, confusing and complex relationship between Dick and Bruce…
Dick in his ‘angsty teen phase’. At least Batman never had to experience Jason’s phase.
“you drive the batmobile?”
Oh Jason, you cocky little punk. Being a thorn in Dick’s side. Just wait till you’re taller than Dick!
Batman once said to me that being a Robin is about one thing.
Suffering...investigation...confidence...family... ROBIN
So, a while back I saw a claim about one of the Robin’s height that really threw me off. My first thought was ‘oh man, really? that Robin was super TINY’ and then a few moment’s later I realized that considering Batman is 188(6′2′’)ish there was no way that Robin could be that height because that would mean that they only came up to his hip, which… we’ve got some small Robin’s but not THAT small. I was pretty curious how tall they actually were so I tried to look it up, but sadly only a characters current stats are available (if even that *cough* Carrie Kelly *cough*). At this point, it’s really bugging me so I decided to look. though a lot of the early comics to try and see if I could figure it out.

This is so cool and I love this sort of thing!
“The Autograph”
Who doesn’t want to meet their heroes? Also, who doesn’t love old-school?
The Riddler hijacks the local TV airwaves and appears onscreen holding a comically long roll of paper. After dramatically clearing his throat, he proceeds to read from it.
“The following is a list of people who can suck it. Number One: The Joker. I don’t think I need to explain that one. Number Two: Cluemaster. Fuck you, you stole my bit, and I will be like a plague unto your house. Number Three: King Tut. You also stole my bit, but did it while killing people and got me arrested for murder. Also, I’m, like, 93% sure you’re a white guy and your costume is racist.
“Number Four: The Scarecrow. I know you ate my leftover Chinese, Jon, even though I wrote my name on it. I was saving that for lunch. I had to eat a goddamn peanut butter and jelly sandwich like a five-year-old. It was all you had in the hideout. For fuck’s sake, go shopping, not all of us can live like a bridge troll.
“Number Five: The Penguin. You- No, no, wait, wait… That one should be crossed out. He replaced that and apologized. Never mind, Oswald, you’re fine. Drinks at 7:00 tomorrow, right?
“Anyway, where was…? Ah, yes. Number Six: The Mad Hatter. You carded me and left me like that for six hours because I, and I quote, ‘would not stop talking about Mythbusters.’ Well, excuse me for trying to make intellectually stimulating conversation on a level you could understand. I suppose every time you prattle on about mome raths and borogoves it’s goddamn Shakespeare? Well… Well, it’s Carroll, but… Oh, you know what I mean!
“Number Seven: Catwoman. You left me hanging by one hand from a ledge five stories up and holding a twenty-pound bag of jewels and very pointy objets d'art while you ‘distracted’ the Dark Knight. I know you were making out with him, Selina. You were gone for fifteen minutes. My shoulder almost dislocated. Very unprofessional.
“Number Eight: Kite Man.”
Here the Riddler pauses, lifting his narrowed gaze to glare at the camera, voice dropping to an ominous tone.
“You know what you did…”
His demeanor shifts quickly, and he’s back to reading from his list almost cheerfully.
“Number Nine! Th-”
He’s interrupted by a crashing noise in the background and looks over his shoulder just an instant before a deep voice angrily growls, “Riddler!”
“Oh, for the love of-” He turns to glare at the camera, speaking quickly. “Number Nine: Batman! Interrupting me while I’m on television making very important- Hm-mmph!”
He’s reduced to muffled curses as a black gloved hand covers his mouth and pulls him out of frame. The camera tilts, a cracking noise is heard, and the broadcast turns to static.
KITE MAN’S CRIMES WERE NUMEROUS AND TERRIBLE
If I were batman I’d give him like a five minute warning, because this actually sounds theraputic.
Batman: Riddler, you’ve hijacked the TV airwaves and you know that’s wrong but I think this is actually theraputic. So I’m giving you five minutes, and then I’m taking you to Arkham
Robin: Geez get a facebook account for this crap, hell if you wanna vent to millions of strangers just get youtube.
“RIDDLER YOU CAN’T JUST GO ON TV AND SCREAM AT PEOPLE
THAT’S WHAT YOUTUBE IS FOR”
Riddler takes this advice. He gets his own youtube channel called RiddleMe_Th15. It starts out as being purely therapeutic, a platform for publically calling out those who have annoyed him. Then someone leaves him a pathetically easy riddle to solve in the comments, and he spends his next segment ranting about it, and then posing a better one.
This starts a dialogue with a number of other youtube users who both attempt to answer his riddles and pose their own riddles in return.
Riddler has found his people, and his hit count is climbing.
Seriously, Riddler would KILL IT (metaphorically speaking) on YouTube. He just does those weird animated puzzle videos where he poses lengthy, overly complicated puzzles, game theories, and riddles, then gives away…fuck I don’t know…Amazon or iTunes cards to whoever gets them right. “Riddle me this: How can I ensure there are more videos like this one? The answer, my little quest solvers, is simple: Like and subscribe, and consider donating to my Patreon! Which isn’t much of a Riddle, but seriously I’m down to eating crackers and ramen right now and YouTube keeps demonetizing my videos because I used to be a supervillain.”
Bringing this back because “YouTube keeps demonetizing my videos because I used to be a supervillain” has to be shared and because I have some followers who have not experienced The Riddler Post.
Seriously, if you ever need a good time, just read all the responses in the notes. This post still ranks as one of the best things I’ve ever done.
Shoutout to doctorgirlfriend for this zany but wonderful idea!
Riddler conquering Youtube with his daily/weekly vlogs. Gaining a cult following who subscribe to his latest challenging puzzles and riddles. Culminating in some yearly massive worldwide challenge in which viewers are dwindled down to a head-to-head competition against the Riddler himself, basically providing a test for his successor to the internet video throne.
And then having his friends on as guest stars. “Please welcome my old roommate back at Arkham, Dr. Johnathan Crane! He’s got a devious challenge for all you Enig-masses today.”
One can dream...
A Happy Fourth of July from the BatBoys!
Tim/Jason don’t stand a chance..
Batman #49
Such a touching scene, the whole issue was really.
And a lovely taste of Rogues interactions. Poor Eddie
Dick Grayson The Listener (AKA Literal Batfam Mom)
Batman is absolutely awful at dealing with emotions and feelings. Luckily, Dick is there to pick up the emotional slack and be the support system that all his siblings need!
Robin (1993) #156
Dick was about to head out the door, but drops everything when Tim says he needs to talk (and Tim was struggling with suicidal thoughts in this comic so it is even more important that he has someone to talk to).
Nightwing (1996) #25
And Tim feels comfortable coming to Dick with tough topics.
Batman: Family #7
Even though Dick isn’t as close to Cass at this point, he makes sure that she knows he’s there for her during a tough time.
Birds of Prey (1999) #8
And he is there for Barbara and is understanding when she talks about her need for revenge after the injury that resulted in her being put in a wheelchair.
Batman #33
While all the others are shocked by Damian’s emotional reaction, Dick is reassuring and comforting (indicating to me that this isn’t the first time he’s comforted Damian in this way). Dick is one of the few people who treats Damian like the child he is.
Batman #416
He even offers support to Jason (which may surprise some people), though he initially did not approve of Jason being Robin.
Batman and Nightwing #23
And he does the same thing for Batman. This moment in particular is heartbreaking to me, because Dick completely neglects his own feelings about Damian’s death to support Bruce.
Dick is always encouraging communication and keeping everyone together. He is so important to the Bat family, the glue that keeps them together. Dick Grayson actual therapist everyone.
Dick Grayson: the Batfamily emotional support system
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, ALL!
Just in time, I hope. A (thankfully) modest list of some of comic’s most prominent queer heroes and villains! Now I know I may have left someone’s favorite out, but I can only draw so much in one Month. So comment any characters (from comics other than the big 2 - Marvel and DC) you’d perhaps like me to draw next year!
LPH Lots of love everyone!
Here’s a sneak peek at a big project I’m finishing! I just love these two!
Happy Pride Month!
