In the 1980s, Todd McFarlane began drawing Batman professionally, working on the classic storyline "Batman: Year Two" in Detective Comics, and creating iconic artwork, including his dynamic cover for Batman #423. Todd went on to become a titan of the comic book industry, but has always had an affinity for Batman, stating, "I've always liked the fact that Batman has no super powers. When it comes down to it, he's just a dude in a costume. Conceivably, if you pushed him off a roof (Batarangs, etc. aside), he could potentially die, unlike Superman."
