Batman of Rhodes

Batman of Rhodes

Batman and Robin are the Dynamic Duo, the vigilante crime-fighting aliases of millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne and his youthful ward Dick Grayson.  Batman starred in his own DC comic book series since 1939, and Robin was introduced in 1940.  Batman and Robin were played by Adam West and Burt Ward, respectively, in the 1966 television series on ABC.

Batgirl is best known as the crime-fighting alias of Barbara Gordon, a librarian and daughter of Police Commissioner Gordon.  After initially appearing as Betty Kane from 1961 to 1964 in the DC comic book series, she was reintroduced in 1967 in both the comic book series and the 1966 television series, with Yvonne Craig as Ms. Gordon.

The picture "Batman of Rhodes" was commissioned from the artist jackcrowder through DeviantART in 2016.  


This picture were inspired by the sculpture of Laocoon and His Sons, with Batman taking the part of Laocoon and Robin and Batgirl taking the part of Laocoon's sons.

This picture is fan art and is intended to promote the appreciation of Burt Ward’s portrayal of Robin in the 1966 television series “Batman”.  This is an original scene and did not appear in the movie, the television series, or any other derivative material.
