Jerry Ordway's Homage to Batman's Bob Kane

On the left is a picture by Bob Kane from the golden age of Batman. On the right is a more modern-day version of that classic pose penciled by Jerry Ordway who obviously wanted to pay homage to Bob Kane. I just thought it would be neat to show this as an example. The artwork of comic books has progressed quite a bit, don't ya think?

Seems like every so often an artist will take a stab at that Kane panel. In the Hush trade paperback, there's a brief retelling of the Batman's origin that features a version of that Kane panel.

Needless to say, I think others have drawn it better than Kane, but I like the primitive look of Kane's.
