fanart, cracktastic Muppets/DCU fusion part III

[ratcreature]

Fandom: DC Comics/Muppets
Characters/Pairings: Gonzo (as Nightwing)
Rating: G
Media used: Pencil sketch, some quick and sloppy coloring in GIMP
Warnings: Um... crack!doodle?
Notes: This is the fourth and last (so far) of my Muppets/DCU fusion doodles. In case you're wondering why I cast Gonzo as Dick Grayson/Nightwing, there are several ways they resonate with each other (at least in my strange brain): Gonzo's history as a daredevil performance artist (granted his colors aren't the same as the Flying Graysons', but still) and as stuntman, Gonzo's romance life, and that in a world withouth Kermit Gonzo would have been become "a depressed street performer that plays the guitar for a dancing brick", and considering I cast Kermit as Superman, I find the parallels fitting. (I don't know if Dick would have become a depressed circus artist instead of staying a superhero without Clark exactly, but he wouldn't have been Nightwing as we know him.)

I quite literally laughed alone. The sock-boots make it wonderful.

[ratcreature]

I'm happy it made you laugh. The boots weren't really meant as socks though, I mean, especially with McDaniel's art Nightwing's boots had this strange look over his calves, you know? They were supposed to look like hat. But I guess for Gonzo socks work as well... ;)

It's just so *right* -- yet somehow I was picturing him in the first Nightwing uniform. However, considering the fact that looking at this over my shoulder nearly made Jack fall down... possibly this was for the best!

AHAHAHAHHAA. JOY.

[ratcreature]

Yeah, the first uniform was flashier, which works well for Muppets. But that didn't even occur to me, because when I think of Nightwing I always picture this one.

Oh dear ghod.

That's lovely. :D :D :D

This is a scarey kind of brilliant.

[ratcreature]

Heh. The Muppets and DC superheroes just naturally mesh well. Even TPTB think so, and at least I didn't cast Kermit as Batman...

Here via Betty's post, and I LOVE THIS. I can't tell you how much I love it -- the antic brilliance of those two all in one! <3333

Thank you! I'm glad you like it, and that I'm not the only one seeing their connection!
