Shoot. I can't make the av look like the original picture.   Try using that. You probably gotta resize it or something.

  Almost looks like he's giving them the finger I never seen this title before? Is it just a spoof on House of Mystery or is it a legitimate comic series?

Bisley is the stuff.
His Bat-Man work is some of the best there is...if you like the stylized versions. I like his work, along with Sam Keith and Kelley Jones.

I don't like the lazy proportions on the people. Their flesh crawls around and morphs between panels (see specifically the Two-Face 2-parter in Batman back in the day). It's retarded.

I feel you...
His Bat-Man always has a 74 pack in stead of a six and from the side, looks like he has 43 ribs. But, I don't see that much of a difference between his work and Bisley's...other than than Bisley has better line work and is more defined than Jones. They are both grossly out of proportion and take crazy liberties with anatomy.
That said, I still like their versions.
Uschi, who's your fave mainstream Bats artis? Who does the definitive Batman and Joker to yuo?

But Biz stays with his own sense of logic, you know? Kelly Jones is all over the map.
Batman is Norm Breyfogle. I like his gestural quality. It gives a lot of action to the image. Batman puts on the cowl and the human vanishes, replaced by a creature of motion and fluidity and scary and shadow. There are others, maybe a handful, but I never really bothered to learn their names.
Joker? I am more open with my Joker artists. Breyfogle is great at rendering him, but fails to capture any madness. His is the wrong sort of Joker. Alex Ross draws a beautiful Joker though. That "Justice" thing that came out? OH my god yes. Just want to gobble it up to enjoy it all the more. But I also absolutely adore the Biz Joker, all grossness and twisty and weird. Batman: Lobo is my favorite comic of all time due to this. Then back in Gotham Central there was a storyline called "Soft Targets" where Joker sniped people X-Mas shopping and then turned himself in and then blew people up anyway -- he was drawn very "Conrad Veidt" and that makes me melt. I also have some random War Games issue where Joker was drawn looking exactly like David Bowie. Hawtt. Then the Chuck Dixon version from Joker: Devil's Advocate -- as represented in Kwink's avatar. Tasty. Especially in that bright orange suit with the neon green tie and pitch black dress shirt... mmm.
Anyway, time to stop playing nice. People might get ideas.

Let me emphasize: Jones is a phenomenal cover-artist. It's the interiors, where he needs consistency, that he fails at.

What...? You don't like the ears? kelley jones and scott beatty were a pretty damn good team. not anywhere near my favorite, or anything i'd call a "definitive" look, but i really quite liked their approach. they were working the batman title around the time when DC finally used the good paper and computer coloring (i'm thinkin... batman 519?). the two of them would make some super high-contrasted splash scenes, where the colors (sorry bastie) and their digital might would run wild to separate from (sorry bastie) the blacks. for example:  always a favorite of mine. plus, his "back asplode!" image depicting the fateful bane vs batman moment is one of the more iconic comic images of the past, oh, 25 years  which, by comparison, makes jim aparo's in-book scene look like ... fucking clown shoes:

You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

Other than the goofy sound effect, one linework alone I actually prefer the Aparo version. Better anatomy and sense of movement. Too bad it's colored like a friggin Hanna Barbera cartoon.
