Batman Standing in Old Downtown Gotham City

As the full moon cast its silvery glow over the crumbling rooftops of downtown Gotham, Batman stood upright and scanned the fog-shrouded streets with his eyes. The rain-soaked pavement shone like a dark mirror, reflecting the faint light of the city's distant skyscrapers. The smell of damp earth and decay was in the air, a familiar perfume that only Gotham could produce. The Dark Knight's foot rested casually on the concrete gargoyle, his stone wings outstretched like a sentinel guarding the city's secrets. The brief flutter of bats in the moonlit sky was the only sound that broke the silence, their leathery wings flapping in unison as they danced in the wind. It was a night like any other in Gotham, but Batman's instincts told him something was wrong, a feeling that grew stronger with each passing moment. The crusader's eyes narrowed and his mind filled with possibilities as he contemplated the darkness, his presence a beacon of hope in a city that often seemed to devour itself.

[Workflow: I took the last image I created and tried Freepik's Pikaso inpainting expansion feature to give a wider-angle view. I cleaned up AI artifacts and layered in some rain and fog FX for the final edits in Affinity Photo.]

Batman Standing on Rooftop Gargoyle

I reimagined Batman standing on a rooftop gargoyle by tracing over a panel originally drawn by Luciano Vecchio from DeviantArt. I made some creative adjustments, including adding a detailed gargoyle, flying bats, and gave him a batarang along with applying various color Fx. To facilitate comparison to the source drawing, I've included a side-by-side image of the original and my reworked version.
