IAmA Creative Director of The Batman cartoon. AMA and I'll draw it.
FINAL UPDATE: A Big Thank you to Reddit!.
I was Producer and Creative Director of The Batman. I draw things. I started a new mobile games company. This explains everything: http://imgur.com/ZjG9L AMA and I'll respond with a drawing. Will do as many as I can today. Shameless self-promo, we launched an iPhone game: http://bit.ly/reddit-aom it's what we'd like to think a Rock Paper Scissors game would be like if Michael Bay made it. We also did a press release, I think it turned out well: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/pressreleases/78728/Massive_Joe_Studios_Ushers_in_the_Age_of_Monsters.php
UPDATE: WOW! Front page! Thank you guys! Keep the requests coming. I'll do as many as I can get to. Please upvote ones you guys like so I can like, harness the power of the crowd to help me be lazy, I mean, prioritize which ones I work on.
UPDATE 2: Overwhelming response people. Thank you for all the kind words. Will draw until my hand falls off.
UPDATE 3: Sorry folks, so many good requests. Will try to knock out a few more.

Hey Mr. Matsuda!
I'm also in the animation industry, a character designer at Cartoon Network! It's awesome to see more artists here.
I would love to see a drawing of my favorite pairing Harley-Quinn and Poison Ivy.
Edit: Decided to give it a go after lunch. http://imgur.com/rR1hd

Were you a fan of Batman growing up?
Also, please draw a picture of Batman high-fiving Spock.
massivejoe208 karma
huge fan. him and the flash were my favorite characters, so needless to say i was one lucky bastard to actually grow up and work on one of my favorite shows.

Can you draw batman hi-fiving will smith sitting on a unicorn or giraffe with an explosion in the background and gary coleman on a bear.
poopeater22213 karma

Draw what batman would look like if he really let himself go, and was portrayed by John Goodman
flatgrape142 karma
Could you please draw batman sitting on the joker's shoulders and have batman smiling smoking a cigar holding a big lollipop.
Thanks :-D

I was/am a huge fan of your show. I loved the reinvention of all the old characters. If you have the time, would you draw me as a villain in The Batman's World?
fenney135 karma
If you draw me Batman riding a T-Rex then I will draw you any picture back.

i have no idea what seth looks like. my version of seth can be either white or asian, but if he's neither, then maybe find a kid named seth to give this to? HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETH!!! http://imgur.com/SHXVo

How about batman browsing the internet in this pose: http://ragecdn.blob.core.windows.net/pictures/fc66f6a0-edb9-489b-834a-01d86d7c4233.jpg
Edit: Thanks for the pic Jeff!

Dang, any chance for an Android version in the near future?
If so (or if not) can you draw me a Batman Android?
massivejoe55 karma
for those of you wondering what it looks like to see me drawing in action (and i know you do!!), wonder no more! http://imgur.com/XYJnF should we cross post this picture in /r/gonewild?
massivejoe156 karma
this was one that comes to mind that i had the most fun with. was for cover of Play magazine: http://www.jeffmatsuda.com/videogame/images/tenchu02.jpg
also, the spock and batman high five that kerblo requested coming up is going to be up there as well.
massivejoe189 karma
that's a tough one. batman has no fatal flaw like kryptonite. but superman could just like toss a bulldozer from like a mile away and hit him before he could get within range of kryptonite. so i'd have to go with superman, even though batman paid my bills for a while.

any chance of some pics from your sketch book? or maybe model sheets? I love looking at that stuff. I am an aspiring storyboard artist
massivejoe91 karma
