Net is buzzing that new batman is copied from Indian comic character

[vijayshetty]

Of the top of my head it reminds me of one of the covers from...was it The Dark Knight or The Dark Knight Rises where we see Batman on the "Batpod" cycle? You know the image, this all gives me very serious vibes of that.

That's not the one - the other one.

And it doesn't matter that he's not throwing anything, that's the least important part. It's the styling and everything else really.

Edit: Also, does anyone remember this cover in a more yellow/golden hue? I distinctly remembered this cover in a different color...

That is just a generic pose to show the hero and his bike in a cool way.

I'm not your bro, bro. And sure, yours has more similarity - as does all the ones Drako posted, because they're so generic. Things that are generic are that way because there's so darn many that are similar. I just pulled out the most famous and iconic of the lot of genericness.

But then again, how much are we on internet sites that are targeting, say, comic book readers from India or elsewhere?

Previous posts include things like:

Color me pessimistic when it comes to "unique" threads such as these. But I'll admit that it seems OP has done plenty of his own research on the topic.

Nah that's pretty similar. But not so much to say batman has never ridden a motorcycle. Not so much an homage as just, more likely, "oh that's a cool pose, let's do that". I'll edit after seeing other comments, it's clearly been done many times prior to both.

[Bat-Meal]

Yeah, it's a generic pose and the two images are not even using the same angle. If anything the Batman one is more dynamic with the cape, and the angle of the Batarangs.

[2real]

I agree with you except that Batman is more dynamic. I agree the art has more action. But for me, the pose and the abs, and Batman's abs include the belt buckle. It's really, really similar. I think tons of artists trace to learn and some just carry it forward lol

I guess any Ghost Rider comic panel?

That position is nothing new (ala Tim Sale) but obviously different POVs like the two which you posted are both different POV:
