Batman Adventure icons

[ratcreature]

I've made some Batman and Nightwing icons of the animated characters, from Batman Adventures #12. (BTW, that I bought that comic in the first place is entirely lcsbanana's fault.) As usual, please comment if you take an icon, unless people say they're okay with sharing, the icon belongs to whoever claims it first, and feel free to modify them any way you want.

Okay. Who could resist the squee? *grin*

I have to disclaim that this is the first Batman Adventures issue I've read, and while the story is kind of self-contained, there seems to be some ongoing story. Anyway...

The main story, "The Duo Dynamic", goes like this: We're in Blüdhaven, the ex-mayor of Gotham, Hamilton Hill, moved there after the Penguin, or rather Oswald Cobblepot, defeated him in the election a year ago. It's night, but he suffers from insomnia, and there's someone at his door. He opens (and why anybody in either Gotham or Blüdhaven would open the door at night when they don't expect anybody mystifies me, but whatever) and at his door is the Riddler with a knife in his back. The Riddler has trouble speaking, but says "Hill.." then collapses into Hills arms, and drops a piece of paper, which turns out to be a train ticket to Gotham. He gets out a couple of more words: "Down... there." "Sssller..." (which Hill understands as "cellar") and "Nnng. Time. Flies." Hill calls an ambulance.

They (presumably the paramedics) get Riddler stabilized, and transport him to hospital, but he's unconscious, so the police, actually a Captain Garett, questions Hill about what the Riddler said. Hill wonders why the Riddler would come to him. Garrett tells Hill that the Riddler staggered around for a while with the knife in his back and several people saw that, but nobody saw the attack (makes you wonder about the Blüdhaven citizens that nobody called an ambulance when they see a guy staggering around with a knife in his back), during this Riddler also smashed the window of a jeweler across the street from Hill. The train ticket was bought three days ago at "Simon's Tickets". As Garrett tells Hill all this Nightwing comes in through a window, and says that it looks like the Riddler was stalking Hill. Nightwing is recognized by Garrett and the uniformed officers, he shakes hands with Garret, clearly is on friendly terms with the police. He's there because Garrett sent him a message, also calls him "lad" ("I see you got my message, lad. We could use you on this one." "I'm always here for Blüdhaven P.D., Captain Garrett." -- obviously the animated P.D. is less corrupt than its comic pendant).

Nightwing want to know the exact words Riddler used, because language is highly important to the Riddler. Hill repeats what he heard. As Nightwing comes outside, he's interviewed by the press, well it's actually more like they shout questions at him, and he says his statement. (They: "Is Nygma dead?!? Who gets his millions?" "Where is Batman?" "Any leads Nightwing?" He: "Actually, Janice, we have a strong lead. And I'm fairly confident we'll catch whoever did this. But if your viewers have any information about tonights attack, we'd appreciate their coming forward.") Very slick and confident with the media.

Next page we see that the guy from Simon Travel sees this on tv, Nightwing knocks as his door. Nicholas Simon is surprised to see Nightwing because he just was tv, but Nightwing says it was taped. Simon asks for Nightwings autograph, which Nightwing gives, then asks him about the ticket he sold. Simon says he sold the ticket to Mr. Nygma on Thursday, the train leaves tomorrow at ten, and Nygma paid in cash, didn't say anymore and was a new customer. Nightwing hears something, shushes Simon (what you see in icon #2) and tackles the shadow, who turns out to be Batman. Meanwhile Simon is worried about his furniture ("Oh dear... What are you...? Mr. Nightwing...? Please try not to rearrange anything in there!")
