Well... this is probably something you didn't expect from an anime artist ^_<. I guess I'd better explain...
Until pretty recently, my entire knowledge of the world of comics was based some pretty awful Phantom comics (the sort of thing they put in showbags because they couldn't sell them anywhere else), a few random snippits of DC comics and a little more recently Sandman (which I know a lot of people love, but I really never got into). I never liked the art, and didn't really understand the stories, therefore: ALL WESTERN COMICS=ugh. MANGA=YAY!
...that is, until there began this influx of movies based on comics. I really enjoyed Spiderman, and even more so the sequel. So, okay, maybe there were some decent stories out there.
It wasn't until my sister introduced me to this livejournal community called "Scans Daily" ([link]) that I finally went through some scans of more recent comics and realised that, hang on a sec, I'm really enjoying some of this. Then I read some Young Justice. Which incidently seriously=YAY!
^^ So I've learnt my lesson, I think.
Drawing this was a real learning experience; this was the first time I've tried to imitate the western comic style. I've done a quick sketches of Superboy, Robin and Impulse before (in scraps), but nothing as serious as this.
...right, this comment is officially too long, I'd better stop here.
You know... I saw this thinking 'Yay oldschool DC!' but then I saw who CREATED it and thought 'HOLY SHIT IT'S RISACHANTAG!' Risachantag, the creator of some of the best anime fanart on DA. The person who actually got me onto DA in the first place. xD Ignoring my mild shock and nostalgia at your username, FUCK yeah! Young Justice! I've never even seen the cartoon or comic but I love DC... and know all their names and most of their histories. xD Wikipedia is my friend. You've drawn this fantastically. Bart looks AMAZING!
I would like to hail you as a kindred soul my friend I had the exact same thing, and it was only because I had heard about Batman and loved the movies that I actually started reading them.
I'm stuck on DC though, and haven't moved on to Marvel yet. Maybe after The Avengers I might

But I agree, DC is better imo; the only thing I do like about marvel are the x-men, and that's thanks to the movies c:
