"I'm...the Chickenman."


Everyone is familiar with the pivotal moment in Bruce Wayne's life when he chooses the name and the costume which will set the template for his entire crime fighting career, and all of the tools that he uses in that fight:  the Batcar, the Batcopter, the Batcave, batarangs, and so on.  

But what if he had a different opinion of the criminal world?  What if a bat had failed to fly in and inspire him?  In an alternate reality, things could have turned out quite differently...

And, logically, following this new epiphany his array of crime fighting technology would have been completely different:

P.S. I'd like to express, as a designer, how incredibly happy I was to actually use Comic Sans for the purpose it was intended for.

  1. For what it's worth, chickens are very worthy and noble avian creatures! Although, as you say, the result is completely different. What if Catwoman had decided to be Chickenwoman instead? Perhaps she'd have more of a "mother hen" get-up, and be constantly defining herself in the pecking order.
    Comic Sans is the best font! :-)

  2. This all sounds silly until you remember that one of Batman's classic opponents is called the Penguin.
