There is an automatic amount of cool points lost as soon as it crosses someone's mind to get a tattoo of a superhero. But if you must, it's probably a good idea to get a cool version of it. If that can't be achieved, an accurate version is the next best thing. This Batman tattoo has managed to conquer neither. Not only is it overall ugly, but apparently he's been so busy fighting crime that he has had no grooming time and grew a full beard in all the hooplah.
As a comic book nerd AND a lover of tattoos I have to disagree with you. Comic book themed tattoos can blow a vast number of more conventional ones out of the water (if done right of course). Granted you have to be another comic book nerd to understand the genius of it, so I suppose these cool points are in the eyes of the beholder. This tattoo is based on this artist's rendition of beardless comic book/pop culture heroes with (you guessed it) facial hair. On top of that, the Croatian part of me is stoked on the artist's home country. http://www.gearfuse.com/batman-with-a-beard-adding-beards-to-beardless-characters/
