In the upper right, whose huge face is that?

ALSO, who is that between Grod and Poison Ivy? Looks a little like Scarecrow, but he's already there.

Giganta.

That a Batman villain?

Brownie points for anyone who can name every character in this.

Nope; Wonder Woman, and occasionally The Atom.

She was part of the Legion of Doom on The Super Friends, and the image is specifically from DC's recent Justice limited series, which Alex Ross in involved for both writing and art.

Yeah, I plan on buying the series soon. "Kingdom Come" was probably my favorite comic of all time, so Ross has won me over.

Good stuff.

Is the image mirrored? The S on your chest is backwards. Also: get a tan.

they are villains it is bizarro you tardbox

That's by the same guy who did the vampire Bush, isn't it? He's really good.

Dog, he's done so much more than just the vampire Bush.

He's over-rated. Any painter worth their salt can do photorealism, and most comic book artists could draw it as well. Ross has become famous for being the guy without a style of his own.

Oh please. His shit looks way better than probably anything I've seen in comics.

I wasn't really familiar with his work before this thread, but after surfing around on http://www.alexrossart.com/ , I have to agree some of his work is fantastic. He really captures the essence of the character(s) he's painting.

If by "way better" you mean "more photo realistic", then yes I suppose that's true.

But you aren't going to argue with me that the quality of a comic book's art is proportionate with how photo realistic it is... right?

Parasite. The pinky-purply color gives it away. You should know who it is after Arion Showed you him in that alt-future described in "Camelot Falls".

I guess being a father is slowing you down Supes.

Thats a wicked shnazzy picture.

Who is it way in the back visible between Grod and the Parasite?

Toyman is my guess. Who's that guy that looks like Namor in front of Giganta?

The one between her eyes? That's Black Adam.

And before there are any more questions:

1. Grundy
2. Sinestro
3. Metallo
4. Captain Cold
5. Ivy
6. Parasite
7. Toyman
8. Grodd
9. Black Manta
10. Bizarro
11. Lex
12. Riddler
13. Scarecrow
14. Cheeta
15. Joker
16. Dr. Sivana
17. Braniac
18. Clayface
19. Black Adam
20. Giganta

Black Adam...

Does Cheeta have a really tall head, or are her eyes where the mask's nose is? Or what? It looks weird to me.

Also, on a slightly related note, I saw Amazo in a Batman comic recently (The Red Hood intro one). I must say I far prefer the Timmverse version.

EDIT: Which is to say, the design. I don't know about the comic history of it, other than he was basically all "RAR SMASH!" in that one.

Like a child at Halloween, her mask is riding high up on her forehead, with facepaint dabbed over her real nose and mouth. The cheetah's jaw is hiding her eyes.

Thanks for the list, MR! Now I know. And I was referring to Toyman, I do actually know who Parasite is.

And what the crap are you talking about;

The movie was apocryphal, I tell you. Apocryphal!

Ah, well I had a list of the people in that image lying around so I figured I'd just post it.

Read Action Comics #844 to the current issue, and you'll find that I'm not talking about the movie.
