A lot of comic artists struggle with this to some degree, but Simone Di Meo should really work on his same face syndrome. The faces of Mistress Harsh, principal Stone, Ms. Hall and White Rabbit were all exactly the same.
Damian could also look more like Damian and less like Tim.
And considering that this book is probably going to have a lot of action it wouldn't hurt if he made the fight/action scenes less confusing. It's often hard to tell where the characters are, what is going on and what is important and what is not.
I also fear that Williamson giving Di Meo so much room for the art might have contributed to this issue feeling kind of empty. There were several pages with no or almost no dialogue, and while the art is pretty, nothing really interesting or important happened on them.
Someone like Patrick Gleason was able to pull off a silent issue like Batman and Robin #18 because he is great at letting the facial expressions, postures and actions of the characters speak for themselves.
Judging by the first two issues of Batman and Robin (2023) I don't think Di Meo could do the same. Pretty much all the characters have a constant (kind of smug) smile on their lips for no reason or they have a very neutral facial expression that doesn't tell us much about them and their feelings.

guess who
I've seen a few artists I like making human art and I got inspired to make my own.
First version was based just on their character designs and personality, and what inspired their look in the first place. Second version happened when I took into account their backstory and what I imagine human versions of their parents' would look like. I don't consider either of these "canon", because to me they're just trolls but it was a fun experiment to try.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming of me drawing little colorful dolls

So whenever I see a pink outfit, my first thought is "draw Heed wearing that" and Barbie is full of pink outfits so naturally I had to draw her wearing one. And since Flug shares a name with Ken...
That's how I ended up with this weird thing😂 enjoy
Edit: check the notes for more art

Apparently in my absence this post had its 1000-notes-iversary.
This time we get to see the culprit responsible for ruining our heroes' lives as well.
I've really missed you guys, by the way. I know I've said that already, but I'm serious. Once or twice this year I've been right on the brink of coming back but schedule stuff always keeps me from letting myself commit to that again, and that in turn has kept me from posting anything at all. But I've been in an unexpected drawing mood lately and so if I can get enough stuff to set up a queue we might pretend I'm back for a month or so sometime this year. Maybe. Hopefully. We'll see. No promises though. That's why I'm hiding this paragraph under the cut.

[Tolkien:] "No, I don't think he has...!"
