Quitely's Batman: Duck and roll



It's been more than 20 years since I read the Batman: Scottish Connection comic by Alan Grant and Frank Quitely, published by DC somewhere in the 1990s. I've completely forgotten the plot, and the characters, and almost everything else around it.

But I have never, ever forgotten the way Batman launches himself off that wall, tucking himself in as he falls into the empty space.  Whenever anybody else draws Batman comics, I can never figure out why they don't use the human body and the way it can move like Frank Quitely does.

You can do anything with Batman, but you should do this kind of thing more.
