I have to disagree with you about the cover of Bat 2. The cover is more than "ok". I think the bat perched on top of the Chrysler building is fantastic. I guess different people have different taste as far as art goes but to me the Chrysler building is a wonderful symbol. It makes me think of Jim's Obsidian vision. It has a symbolic meaning, like the symbolic meaning of the Statue of Liberty in Planet Of The Apes. I have always thought that the Chrysler building was the most charismatic building in New York, so I was very pleased when Jim and his art people chose it for the cover of Bat 2. And to have the bat perched on top as a motor cycle flies towards it. Wow. To me it's even better than the cover of Bat 1.
