BATMAN: SCARS

“Trauma plus vengeance versus violence. The equation of trauma can result in a break of its own pattern.”

Sideshow and Alex Ross Art present the Batman: Scars Fine Art Lithograph. This striking DC art print reveals the true physical toll of Bruce Wayne’s heroic deeds.

“I was inspired by a Joe Staton drawing, from a story about a future version of Batman marrying Catwoman. At one point in the story there was a scene when he was out of costume and she saw his back and gasped at all the scars. Until this piece, they remained unseen.” – Alex Ross, Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross

In the sanctuary of the Batcave, Batman bares his body, soul, and old wounds in an homage to The Brave and The Bold #197. Bruce stands unmasked in front of the legendary cape and cowl, his gaze traveling to old injuries. Each mark tells its own harrowing story of crime and punishment. With his skin marred by memories, the World’s Greatest Detective will find a moment of stillness before he dons the suit and slips into the shadows once more.

Originally created as a pin-up illustration for the comic Batman Black and White (1996), this realistic Batman art is now available to fans as an unframed archival print or in a custom framed presentation. Each Batman: Scars Fine Art Lithograph is hand-signed by Alex Ross and features hand-torn deckled edges as well as a Certificate of Authenticity as part of the limited edition of 195 pieces.
