Here Be Icons...
I went crazy and made a ton of icons, mostly from issue #765 of Detective Comics -- not so much to use myself, as to farm out, the better to aid me in my mission of comix fandoms pimpery.
Te nabbed a few of them already, but as she's hosting the images for me, giving her first dibs seems only fair.

The Authority's Midnighter and Apollo; Batman enjoying himself at a disco; and Josie MacDonald, one of Gotham's Finest. (Disco-Batman has been claimed, but there are blanks within from which similar animated icons can be made.)

6)
From the covers of (forthcoming) Robin #124 and Nightwing #91.

Three versions of an icon from the actual ad that ran asking readers to call in and vote for whether Jason Todd (Robin II) should live or die. The original was black and white.

I used three of these as bases for the animated icon (#2) above. The main story in DetC #765 was coloured mostly in shades of grey, with the only actual colour being green. It's pretty easy to just shift the hue from green to another colour with even most basic graphics programs, so I didn't play around with most of them this way, and I only did primary colour variations, despite the temptation to make a pink or purple Batman. I'm putting these up for people who don't want their Batman green and can't change the hue on their own, and also to give a head start to anybody who wants an animated icon like #2.

Another good basic Batman icon that shows off Jesse Delperdang's inking prowess. I'm just linking to the other two colour variations to cut down on image loading time.

And one more series of What Colour Is Your Batman icons. With that expression, it was really tempting to make him pink...

The sickly green is okay in small doses. It's just very... green.
(I did actually do one whole series of icons from DetC #765 that I hue-shifted to blue -- all gratuitous crotch shots of Batman's bulging shorts and muscular ass and kinktastic belt -- but Te has laid claim to those until she tires of the pelvic-thrusting-Batman icon she got out of it. Watch this space.)

34)
A few shots of Sasha Bordeaux, bodyguard to Bruce Wayne who, of course, wound up putting on a mask and suffering through the drama of Bruce Wayne: Murderer? and Bruce Wayne: Fugitive with the rest of the Batfamily. Detective #765 came immediately before Batman: The Ten-Cent Adventure, which kicked off the Murderer/Fugitive storyline.
35)
36)
37)
38)
And a few more of Detective Josie "Josie Mac" MacDonald (brainchild of Judd Winick and Jeff Chiang) from the back-up story in DetC #765. If it weren't for Jim Gordon and Renee Montoya, Josie would be my favourite Gotham cop. You've got to love a city full of ass-kicking, crime-fighting chicks...

41)
Finally: the Bat-Band-Aid Batman gave Josie Mac; one last green Batman; and the blank from my Apollo/Midnighter SUPERGAY icon, taken from a scan of their first in-print kiss in The Authority (vol. 1) #8.
A lot of these are well-suited to captioning, though I've left them blank, almost without exception. If there's text you'd really like on one and you have no way to do it yourself, make a note of it when commenting to claim the icon, and I'll do what I can. Similarly, if you desperately want a green icon shifted, or a simple animation done, ask below, and I'll see what I can do when I get a chance.
Claimed icons -- icons that someone has taken to use who is not willing to share -- will have astrike through their number. Shared icons, which at least one person is already using a variation of, will have their number bolded.
Since I can't be here 24/7, though, do so please check through the comments to make sure the icon you want hasn't already been claimed if you want to share (or being shared if you want to claim, for that matter). I'm a sharing type, myself, so I encourage everyone to let others use any blanks they take a fancy to, too, but it's first-come, first-served.

Re:
And now you'll have a couple of Batman icons, too. You're welcome to them.

Re:
Oooo, pretty
I really loved the Josie Mac stories. Isn't she suppose to be in Gotham Central? Has anyone seen it? She kicks ass (literally).
Re: Oooo, pretty
She is, indeed, in Gotham Central. If you like her and can swing the $2.50 a month (which is the price of, like, a double cappuccino), I definitely recommend it. GC is also ideally suited to being the only Bat-title you read -- no need to get other books to follow storylines, as there's been no real overlap nor any sign of that happening in the future, though naturally Gotham's caped crusaders do appear from time to time. And the first several issues are coming out in a 'trade paperback' collection soon, which will help with the catching up. If you can't buy up any back issues right now, that's okay, too -- last month's issue (#15, cover date March) finished off the "Soft Targets" storyline, so #16 is a great place to start, and it just hit the stores Wednesday.

Thanks for offering to make one up with my own text on it, but I really think the pic says it all. Anyway, I'd want my text to be original, and I don't think I could top "Supergay." :)
Re:
And there are plenty of other good captions for that icon, though I appreciate the compliment. "Authoritative" or "my heroes" or even just "OTP" would all be good.

enjoy reading your journal.
Re:
Glad you like it here.
ooo, pretties! It's hard to choose.
I gave you keyword credit.
Thanks!
Re: ooo, pretties! It's hard to choose.
(The way you phrased the keyword on that -- which I appreciate, though it's not necessary -- makes me want to see some buggery-by-Nightwing, if you catch my meaning...)
I have a system :)
I like to give the maker of icons in keywords (and copy the keywords in the icon file names) because I want to remember where I got them, plus when I switch icons out, I will know what the keywords should be when I re-use the icons.
*points at the the Nigthwing icon I made last night*
Look, Broody!Nightwing: You can take the boy out of the shadow of the Batfamily, but...
