Rhapsodies

For day two of my April Batman sketch challenge, the magic Tupperware told me I had to draw Mr. Floyd Lawton AKA Deadshot!

It’s been a while Deadshot’s been part of Batman’s rogue’s gallery proper. He’s currently better known as part of the Suicide Squad. (though he did show up for the “War of Jokes and Riddles” storyline last year. As a freelance sniper, I think he fits into the modern setting much better than the villain with a gimmick he started out as in the 1950s.

As for what Deadshot would look like in this setting, he’s gone through multiple redesigns over the years. I’ve never liked his trademark wrist guns since it was never clear where the magazines were. As for the scope in his mask, I was never quite sure how that was supposed to work. For now, I’m assuming it’s hooked up somehow to a camera scope in this high tech sniper rifle.

For the rest of his “costume,” all I’m keeping is the mask/helmet, the rest is just commando gear. If it helps though, you can pretend his sweater’s red.
