The image of the Riddler that was chosen in this IP thread for Becoming the Mask was moved to That Man Is Dead without discussion a coupla months after it was put on the former page. It could work well for either page, although I lean toward keeping it on That Man Is Dead. Should we:

The speech bubbles fit on That Man Is Dead better, methinks.

The issue is that it might make That Man Is Dead look like it's about a stock phrase.

I think I like it better on That Man Is Dead too. No ideas for a replacement.

It's good as it is, though I'd accept a good replacement for either page.

It does seem to fit That Man Is Dead better, even if it might work just as well as a quote; this one is tough to come up with a good image for.

That'd work better horizontally. Wouldn't need to resize the panels any, either (it's 170 wide, 170*2 = 340 < 350).

That's entirely text-based. Works better as a quote, since there's literally nothing visual about it.

^^ That is Rorschach without his mask on. He is telling a story about an event that caused him to become the mask (he insists on being called Rorschach, and doesn't answer to his given name): "It was Kovaks who closed his eyes. It was Rorschach who opened them again."

Agree with The Pope, though: not a good image. Pretty much (if not literally) all the useful information is in the text, and it requires familiarity with the source to "get". (Although I think it is possible to get it without familiarity, I can't judge that well.)

^ Yeah, I cannot argue with that.

I think it is better than nothing, though, and I cannot think of another example myself right now. If no one comes up with a better one I think we should use it anyway.

The text is also too small.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
