Sneak Peek - BATMAN BLACK AND WHITE Statue by Tony Daniels

Here's a few preview shots of the BATMAN: BLACK AND WHITE Statue designed by current Batman comic book artist Tony Daniels. I read somewhere that he wanted the shape to be sort of lyrical or dance pose-like because this is actually the Dick Grayson version of Batman & his personality is more "acrobatic"...because of his circus background. Look for this to come out later in the year.
