Super-Wha?



While I wait to see if another blogger I emailed picks up this ball and runs with it, enjoy an excerpt of my email to him.

/----------------------/
I felt like you should see these. Concept art for alternate/evil versions of several DC superheroes, in "high-tech," "road warrior," and "robotic" styles.

"Road Warrior" in this context is basically code for "leather bondage fantasy."

Yes, that means Batman wearing a hockey mask outfitted with knives over a slave collar, all while sporting a wrist crossbow and a loincloth.


These were almost toys.

Judging by the roman numeral date of 1985 and the word "Kenner," - these were almost Super Powers toys.

Really, you owe it to yourselves to check these out.
