I am trying to imaging some kooky Golden-Age plot where Bruce is going to donate the painting to some museum where it will get stolen by the Riddler, and can be recovered by some type of advanced two-way radio embedded in the frame.
he’s going to poke the eyes out of the picture and then hang it in front of a secret room in has mansion. then he’ll invite the penguin over, sit him in front of the picture, then excuse himself and spy on the penguin through the eyeholes on the painting, right?
The painter is making Bruce Wayne Asian.

Am I close?
Nope.
Wait, wait, is the painter really an art thief who steals from the rich and famous?
Nope.

Subjects in the paintings get kidnapped?
Close.
Conor, can we have a new weekly feature “Guess that Golden/SIlver Age plot using this panel”? That would be fun.
The actual story is weirder than anything you could think of.

The painter uses sympathetic magic with the painting, much like a voodoo doll?
No wait, this must predate Grant Morrison. Never mind.
cannon for grant morrison!
I wonder if Bruce subscribes to Blue Pants Weekly
It doesn’t take much of a visual leap to think that Bruce is wearing a long tight skirt and a blouse.
What’s so brave about having your portrait made? Does Bruce have a crippling fear of sitting still for a long time or something?
Hey, be sensitive – Bruce has Restless Leg Syndrome.
Who the hell lettered this? It’s like reading hieroglyphics.
This is a beautiful looking page.
It will be hanging next to the portraits of Mordicai Wayne, Old Thomas Wayne, and the rest.
Bill Hader would be awesome as that artist!
I’m just imagining Bruce’s voice in the vein of Calculon from Futurama.
I’m trying to figure out whether what the painter is doing is “Photo-realism” … :p
