“Batman: Killing Time” was the rare recent Bat book that I did not instantly dislike. To be clear, it’s not great, and there are some very cringy moments (Selina would never socialize with Joker), but it was a nice diversion. While the story was above mediocre, the art was excellent. I especially enjoyed the depiction of the Riddler.
The plan was simple. For the head, I printed the sculpt by the ToyManKid. The body would be a McFarlane Fortnite Wildcard, which features a white suit. I dyed the suit green, hoping to avoid paint scuffs, etc. Sadly, the green dye turned out far too dark. So I ended up repainting the whole thing by hand anyway. And then, as often happemns with dyed tings, that dye started seeping through the paint. You can see it in the photos, especially around the knees. Dyes seem to have major limitations.
