I did a sketch of medieval batman and it got me to thinking batman would be really cool if it were set in that period.  I really liked the idea so I decided to do a quick painting of it.  After just finishing up a freelance job this was a nice little project of my own to do. 

It really makes sense if you think about it.  Bruce (or the medieval equivalent) would be rich so he could afford the suit of armor and stuff.  Being that other criminals might not be able to afford armor for their henchmen it makes sense that he could beat up a horde of them if they are so out matched.  His fighting skills would be even more useful because of the lack of guns.  His batarang would fit in more with the medieval setting too.  Plus his nick name is already the Dark Knight!  Like I said, a lot of it makes sense.

I also did two of the villains.  Penguin and Joker lend themselves to this era very well.  Penguin obviously having the plague doctor mask and Joker equally obviously being a jester.  I might make another sheet of more villains and maybe robin just because it was so fun.
