So it seems like we might be getting some Wonderbat content in the upcoming DCEASED Dead Planet comic book series. Although the difference this time around is that Damian Wayne is the new Batman and Cassie Sandsmark is the new Wonder Woman. This is something new that hasn’t been done before so it could be interesting.
So Damian and Cassie are a thing in DCEASED? I hope Tom fleshes this out and we get to see it develop. I don’t like things just thrown together without any real development to it. But, it’s still early in the series. So I’m going to give it a chance and see what happens. I know a lot of people were freaking out about it on twitter. But, I’m playing the wait and see approach for now.
This is the craziest thing I’ve ever done… over 200 hours … I’m so proud and excited to share this ❤️(*preliminary version - see below).
This is a really special piece for a whole bunch of reasons.
In short, these characters, separately and together, have meant a lot to me since I was 12 years old and were the main reason I started drawing more seriously. I never thought I could get to the point where I could draw something like this. It demonstrates almost every skill I have become sort of comfortable with so far. There is still so much I need to practice and learn but I think I made a huge jump
*I’ll upload the full downloadable image on my other sites later this year because (when I have another 10 hrs to spare) I have to fix some of the colors and details as my layers got messed up (I have no patience for it right now and need to study). It will look overall the same but everything will be more rendered and cohesive since it’s a bit unbalanced with some of the buildings. But in the mean time…this, and I’m definitely open to feedback so I can make the final image better :)
Copied over from instagram…posting here because I know I’ve kept some of you waiting too long. I see your messages and comments and they really make my world ❤️. Thank you! Hopefully I can finish these soon…I still can’t find good time so here are some scribbles in the meantime.
Okay but let’s talk about the Watchtower being a perfect place to find your signicant other:
Hawkgirl and Green Lantern are the original starcrossed lovers™ who act like an old married couple, both are stubborn and butting heads but also are willing to die for each other (or betray their whole nation). They never stopped loving each other and I doubt that even death could do them apart.
Wonder Woman and Batman is the best “Will they won’t they?” in history of television. Light and dark, but not in this cliché, tired-ass “the girl is fascinated by the dark playboy” way. They are equals, she admires his skills, dedication and spirit, he sees her as warrior to fight alongside with, not a trophy girl to win.
Black Canary and Green Arrow - their chemistry is unparalleled, these two and their famous sparring match scene was a sexual awakening for a lot of people. Dinah is protective of Ollie, Ollie boasts how great of a fighter Dinah is. Two blonde cinnamon rolls who could strangle you to death in order to protect their parter? Yup, it’s them.
Huntress and the Question had the best first date in history of a humankind: I still can’t get over the fact that Q did all of that wild goose chase manhunt because he liked Helena and did not know how to say that. Also Helena blackmailed Superman to help her looking for her boyfriend, so it’s safe to say they are ride or die.
In conclusion, DCAU should totally make an animated rom-com with those couples

Person A: they come into my house. Interrupt my dinner. Stop me from watching Godzilla destroy Japan. And force me to actually put on pants? This better be fucking worth it or I’m gonna fight someone.
say what you will about Justice League (2001) they really went off with the m/f ships
they…
These motherfuckers knew the power of the slow burn. I had never shipped Batman and Wonder Woman in my life but after three seasons watching that chemistry build I was like ‘damn ok tell me more’
They legit had an episode where both Bruce Wayne and Wonder Woman are at a party and some dudes bust in for a kidnapping and Diana just goes to TOWN and after a second of consideration Bruce goes over to the buffet and starts snacking watching them get smoked, like 'this is the best party I’ve been to in ACTUAL YEARS ooooh that was a BRUTAL hit ’
Afterward:
Batman: *lurking in her room until she gets back at 5am*
Wonder Woman: oh hey I didn’t know you were in town, nice to see you, I have no way of knowing this is socially an uncool thing for you to do, would you like a coffee or something
Batman: *coldly criticizes her, insults her friend, accuses her friend of crimes*
Wonder Woman (a member of a culture that is both suspicious and coldly critical): The only abnormal thing about what you just said is what a touching gesture of concern it was. I like my new friend but a little paranoid suspicion never hurt anyone, let’s go bust some heads as a fun friendship activity, you can tell me the plan on the way
