Description
Something to kick off November, a post-Halloween ode, and tribute to the genius of Michael Ansara who not only brought us the original Star Trek Khan, but THE definitive Mr. Freeze via the landmark Batman: The Animated Series.
Now open for commissions, just send a DA message/note for details.

Damn, this looks gorgeous as hell, man.
You've definitely captured the right feeling with this piece - and TAS has the best feelings you can capture (oh how I miss waking up on saturday mornings to get my Batman fix!).
Also, the way you inked it quite reminds me of Jock's work, which is always awesome in my book

B:TAS will always be one of, if not, THE top shows (not only in animation). I'm glad we were able to get it, and such a good, long run too. I don't think anything else after has been as revered or as powerful (most of the Timm-verse will always hold a place in our hearts).
Always appreciate you comments, man. Thanks for taking the time. Cheers!

Oh, this is so lovely and sad.
And yes - Ansara will *always* be Victor Fries to me.

Thanks, happysorceress! I always saw Freeze as victim, rather than villain (almost the same with ManBat). Bats himself share sympathy and respect to Victor. It's always the human element that gets me...and Ansara really drove that powerfully to the heart with his masterful performances.

In complete agreement.
I rarely 'like' villains, but Fries comes across as a sympathetic character. Not world-domination driven like Luthor or Darkseid: he just wants to save his love. It's a romantic tragedy. Good men doing bad things for noble reasons.
And the voice acting across the Timm-verse was superb.

Seconded. The Timm-verse is and will always be held in such high regard and respect.
