Set The Mood: Batman: The Imposter

There’s an imposter among us …

Batman: The Imposter hit DCUI today, and as a sucker for the :mag: mystery :mag_right: genre (and the naturally epic cliffhangers that come with the territory), of course I had to dive right in!

Now, admittedly I’m a little loosey-goosey with the entirety of the B-Money storyline – my cherrypicking style of reading is all but chaotic, thank you – but I’ve been waiting on this particular title for a while now. I mean, who doesn’t like a classic whodunnit?

The art style itself is all too enticing (seriously, I’m amazed by the details of that linework despite looking that it’s been drawn without pen pressure!), and mixed with the black-and-white panels to show both action and thought process, this whole first issue was very immersive.

So I set my moodboard this week to a couple themes from our first look into this story, tying in some of the general “imposter” vibes with some light themes of Bruce’s actual mental illness coming in to play.

:eyes: What do we all think about the first issue?


QUICK Q&A:

Hold up, Static. What the heck is a moodboard?
Putting it simply, moodboards are a series of graphics that are used as a way of capturing the atmosphere surrounding a particular subject to briefly immerse the viewer into the “mood” of said subject. Kind of like collages! Which is why there’s no right or wrong way to make one. You could make one entirely out of relevant quotes, or organize one by a certain color palette, or just fill it up with pics of things that represent the subject point-blank. It’s your board!

How do I make a moodboard? How do I post it here?
Personally, I find the easiest way to make moodboards is through Pinterest. For those who aren’t familiar with the site, it’s a hub for images/videos that can be added to “boards” you create based on personal interests or whatever you’re particularly searching for. Many people use it for the sole purpose of creating moodboards, so there’s plenty of stuff to work with there if you’re not inclined to create one from scratch.

That said, you’re also free to make one through any editing program if you don’t wanna go about making a whole Pinterest account! Just paste the graphic(s) here as you would any other image. If you’re doing a Pinterest board, feel free to drop the link to it, or provide a preview screenshot!

And finally, for those who don’t wanna do either of those things but still want to participate, you’re more than welcome to create a moodboard of your own here by posting any pictures you may find relevant and just sort of talking about your thought process on them. (Ex. post a photo of masks and talk about how that may relate to “Crazy” Jane.) Otherwise, feel free to just openly discuss your thoughts on the topic at hand.
