Now this is probably the best re-imagining I’ve ever seen of the Batman.

Francesco Francavilla has released some preview images of an upcoming collection re-imagining Batman in the early 1970’s with the Catwoman sporting an afro hair style, the Joker looking even camper than he did in the 60’s TV version (while at the same time looking pretty damn scary), Batman seems to be chain smoking in every image and even though I wouldn’t promote this to kids he looks pretty damn cool! Commissioner Gordon unfortunately looks like a hobo though.

Hi the jump to see a sample of the collection and check the rest out on Francesco’s Tumblr page
