icons: Batman Begins

[olde_fashioned]

The completion of my Batman Begins icons100 claim, trimmed down to mere 175. (Did anyone think I'd really stop at a mere hundred? LOL!) I stumbled across some foreign promotional posters, concept art, and extra DVD material and I had loads of fun making them, so that helped bulk the quantity up. The quality I'll leave for others to judge. ;-)

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

Teasers:



Please, if you take anything, be so kind as to take note of the numbers of the icon(s) you're saving, since I am always experimenting with my styles and I would like to know what people like best. (This helps me so I can make more!) The numbers are above the icons.

Gosh, you make such beautiful Batman icons. Taking/crediting: 96, 128, 171, and 175. Keep up your amazing icon work! :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :-D

[kf-creations.livejournal.com]

Woh - you have been busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL, excellent!

*puts on inspection glasses and grabs notepad*

*cough*

1 - love it simply because tea solves so many things lol, 10, 35, 110 and 112 are lovely B&W ones, in both cropping textures and space you have used. 11, 24, 84, 100 and 96 yell epic - I love them!! love the simplicity of 72, and i love back shots.... and lastly 107 - cleverly done. Not many people IMO can blend images that look good rather than any old two shoved together and tada. This is lovely!!!

So glad you didn't just stop at 100, and that you did lots and lots.

Hugs for getting it all done!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

:-D :-D :-D

Busy yes, but not with these -- they took me the full 10 weeks working on and off to get it done. ;-P 'Course the fact that I nearly doubled the required amount had nothing to do with this... *HALO*

LOL, yes, gotta love tea! Feeling bad? Have some tea! Feeling great? More tea! Can't sleep? Tea. Need help waking up? Tea!

You know I lovelovelove it when I get detailed feedback.....thank you!

You are the queen of batman icons!

AW! You put the biggest grin on my face when I read that....you're so sweet, thank you!

[greeneyedmissy.livejournal.com]

Great batch! I particularly love #'s 166-171. I guess I'm really having a b&w thing here lately and Batman just fits so well with b&w, IMO. :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love B&W too and you're right that it's so perfect for Batman. Plus it gives me a chance to dust off all those gritty grunge textures that don't go with JA icons, LOL...;-)

[kojonoyuri.livejournal.com]

Excellent batch of icons I may snag some of these.

Great job!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

And 143! I wonder what his favourite pairing is :P

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

*blush* Thank you very much!

I'm glad someone liked #48...it was a bit of an unusual idea so I'm glad it didn't totally flop lol!

Re: fave paring, rotflol! Definitely not Joker slash, that's for sure... O.O

[collectively.livejournal.com]

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the comment!

[meri-weather.livejournal.com]

Hello my dear! :D

Though I luv, luh huv, LOVE your graphics, I'm not much of a Batman girl. However, I popped onto LJ for the first time in many weeks and it was just so nice to see a post from you. I hope you are doing well.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Hello back! :-D

Aww, thank you for such a sweet comment! I am well and I hope you are too -- I still think about you and pray for you, you know. ;-) How are things with you?

[kencana-kencana.livejournal.com]

Pretty icons.

Wow, thank you so much! I'm very flattered! :-D

[icecoldrain.livejournal.com]

[simply-steffv.livejournal.com]

Hi *waves*

I was looking for some Batman icons and I came across yours. These are amazing!!
I was wondering if I could snag some? I will definitely credit!


Amazing work!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for your kind words, and of course you may snag as many as you like! ;-D That's the reason that I make them.

Thank you for your comment!

[bohemiancachet.livejournal.com]

These are amazingly fabulous. Really brilliant!!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :-D

[noa-swandriver.livejournal.com]

GOD EPIC MUCH? <333

Taking a good deal for later, will credit when used. Bookmarking/memory+ for the intense pretty.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's quite a compliment--I'm quite flattered! :D :D :D Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave a huge smile on my face! ;)

[stillxmyxheart.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, these are so pretty, I love finding beautiful Batman icons, especially when there's a lot of Jim ♥

I've snagged 86 and 89 (89 especially is really pretty, I love the contrast and texture use ♥)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you, and thanks for the comment! :D

Are you a fan of Gordon or Gary Oldman (or both? ;P )?

[stillxmyxheart.livejournal.com]

(Replying in a new comment, since the other's getting a little cramped XD)

I was admittedly a little surprised at the choice of Anne Hathaway for Selina Kyle, but I have faith in both her and Nolan, and I'll wait until I see it before I judge. I am a little annoyed with people outright stating that Catwoman is the other villain, when the press release said nothing about Catwoman, just Selina. I only know a little about some of the characters, but I do know that Selina was a love interest for Bruce before she became Catwoman, I think, so the assumption that she's going to be Catwoman in TDKR kind of irks me (irrationally, I know).

As for Tom being Bane, all I know about Bane is from Batman & Robin, which is pretty laughable, so I definitely can't say anything there, but again, I'm sure it'll work out XD There's already wank over it, of course, but I'm just over here in my corner, anxiously awaiting July 2012 XD

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

LOL, yes indeed!

I was NOT pleased, to say the least (I've only ever seen her in non-serious, comedic roles, which may be part of the problem), but I'm trying to have faith in the Nolans and remember what a brilliant job they did with their other two Batman films...still, they have a very big reputation to live up to.

I know I think it's very premature to say AH is playing Catwoman--especially when Nolan purportedly claimed he'd never be making a Catwoman flick, and the press release specifically says Selina Kyle. There's a huge difference there.

LOLOL, oh dear, just ignore those Schumacher travesties altogether, will you? LOL! All I know about Bane (besides the fact that he's supposed to have broken Batman's back in the comics) is from the BTAS. He's suped up on drugs, so that's easily realistic, IMO. Just so long as he doesn't "inflate" like the Hulk.......

July 2012, I want to be at a midnight showing with all the other dorks/geeks!!!!!!!!! >:D
