It's a Spider, man.

Nearly ran face first into this guy last night.
This made me long for life in the city.

Big Loss

This is an example of falling in love with an element of the design then failing to see the flaws because you're too close . Don't try this at home.
Here's the initial sketch.

                                                 Here's where things went sour.  I liked the idea of Batman evading Manbats'attack, doubling back toward him using a common offfice chair. Then, enacting the switch  that drops the giant belljar from the ceiling, trapping Manbat.

 

Further progression.

Then, after a few more color studies. A tweak here and there in the drawing.
The final piece
