Batman #47, redrawn by me and submitted to the super-cool Covered blog.
Here’s the original version of Batman #47, by Batman co-creator Bob Kane and inker Charles Paris, for one of the major expansions of Batman’s origin by writer and frequently overlooked Batman co-creator Bill Finger.
This scene is my favorite moment in any story ever, but it’s often missed in retellings of Batman’s origin. In the original tale, a little boy dedicates his life to using all of his abilities to help everyone he can. To my mind, Batman doesn’t work without the mission beginning here, when Bruce is still a child, shortly after his parents’ deaths. It’s an eight-year-old’s response to the tragic crime that broke his world.
What I needed was a superhero, so I shall become a superhero for everyone else.
I took some liberties with the arrangement of elements, placing the background props in the Batcave, altered the newspaper headline to include both Waynes together, and nixed the cover logos in favor of an more illustrative feel. I also decided to show young Bruce about a minute later than he appeared on the original cover, rising from his despair with steely resolve to save everyone everywhere from everything.
UPDATE: I’ve entered my interpretation of Batman #47 into the DC Chess Collection cover recreation contest. If you dig it, you can vote for it to win here.

A little back story to this clip before you watch it:
Will Smith’s father abandoned him and his mother when he was a child, and when Will was finally getting into show business and making a name for himself, he tried to sneak his way back into his life like nothing happened. Will co-wrote this episode, and James Avery (Uncle Phil) said, “This scene was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to shoot in my life. Every emotion, every word.. that was Will.”
Will was actually supposed to play it off and then walk away, and there was originally an alternate scene that was supposed to happen, but he actually completely cut out what was supposed to be said, and did all of his own dialogue. The hug at the end of this scene is completely genuine, and this was a stepping stone in Will’s career where he started to take on the “Do what feels, sounds, and looks right.” approach to his acting.
