GIF: Batman

Here's a conversion I did of a gif of Batman from Batman: the Animated
Series. (Well - I assum that's where it's from - it could also be the
comic book...) Anyway - it's at several different levels of zoom, and
in the last one I even tried to get some of the detail of his torso and
cape, though I don't know how that came out. It's tough for me to
evaluate these, since I've seen the gif, and that makes recognizing the
conversion much easier. So, any input would be appreciated...
