Batman 1972

Now that Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight series is over, what's the next step for the Batman story? Let's try a low budget 70s style grindhouse film. Here are three samples of concept art by Francesco Francavilla. He calls it the grooviest comic book of 2013 that didn't happen.

That's a real shame because the premise has serious potential. You can see more samples here.
