I discovered an artist on the internet the other day who, I think, lives in Italy. At least I think his site is in Italian. ( If not, I apologize ). But, the main thing, is that his comic strip cartoon-style is pretty funny & he does a really great parody of Batman he calls BATTMANN. Shown up above are some examples of his work & you can see more by visiting his site ( link button down below ). His name is Mario Perrotta. Oh one last thing, the 2 large pictures up above are actually BATTMANN WALLPAPER BACKGROUNDS ! Click on them for the larger version & send to your desktop...ENJOY!

He is Mario Perrotta, a young comic writer. His work is inspired by "Gianfranco Marziano", an Italian underground music talent. Years ago Marziano wrote a song called "Battmazz" (a joke impossible to translate); the song is sung in Salerno`s dialect and its lyrics are particularly extreme. Basically it is about a Batman who, tired to be a "justice paladine" acts like a young good-for-nothing (he sells the batmobile to buy a Cadillac). The Battmann Comic themes are quite similar; after all Marziano`s the scriptwriter, who tells Mario what to draw on MSN (Poor Mario`s task is to put up with Marziano`s deliriums)
Battmazz is Batman + Mazz' (ass). so the translation could be: Batass.
The Battmann comic theme is non the same as the song: Perrotta's Battmann is still a hero, helped by a gay robin, and he fights against Poison Taty, parody of a modern girl, only interested in boys, make up etc.
The story is amazing; Perrotta is one of the most talented comic book artist in italy.
Why does this Battmann's chin look like a set of testicles?
