i love Bruce Timm's style! great post Joe!
Bruce Timm is a God amongst men. the missus recently bought me the first two seasons of the Timm/Dini Batman animated series on dvd. honestly, it's like Heaven just set up room in my telly.
ah, yes. The lovely Yvonne Craig. Also the original 'hot green alien' (i.e. Orion slave girl) on Star Trek.
Nice, very nice! I just love Barbara/Batgirl, so I enjoyed this! I think my favorite was the Art Adams pic. Thanks!
Hate to tell you, Edo, but the green girl was Susan Oliver.
Yvonne Craig also played a green Orion woman, Marta, in the episode "Whom God's Destroy". Yes Susan Oliver played Vina, but Craig was also green.
beautiful pictures !
