Pretty bad (Becoming The Mask): Becoming The Mask

This one's entirely dialogue; the image shows absolutely nothing at all.

Dialogue-driven images are okay, but only when the dialogue assists the image, not substitutes it.

Wow, that is an AWFUL image. It might as well be a trope about turning into a spaceship...

One, is this even pictureable? Two, if it is, what should we do with it?

Maybe some panels from the Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader story where an AU Alfred was an actor who became the Joker for Batman to fight? (I found a scan from it here◊ which miiight be good, but it might be hard to shrink down and probably could use a cropped panel from another page spliced in...)

Ick. This trope has been nothing but a pain since YKTTW.

Okay, I think I found something that could work from Whatever Happened To The Caped Crusader (scanned it in myself, so hopefully the quality is OK)—I've got a two-panel version◊ which shows some backstory, or just the one panel◊ that shows the transformation.

I think if we could edit this comic◊ down to a few summarizing panels, it could work.

I like the Riddler single panel better.

That Riddler single-panel is good.

I, in a futile attempt to gain acceptance among the group and experience feelings of belonging, support the single panel Riddler as well.

OK, went ahead and put up the Riddler image since it seems everyone felt OK with it. I don't have a good caption for it so if anyone wants to add one, please go ahead!

(And please feel free to take the image down if I jumped the gun.)
