letting Nico (le swoonβ¦le sigh) be Batman is a prestige move
well, it's Nico. What else Andy would've done?
Not a huge fan of Warhol
Warhol is both extremely lame and absolutely on point in a sense that his art reflects the american society and its capitalist treatment of arts and crafts. not that plagiarism is good but Warhol makes a point out of deliberate reproductions. unlike the brits (Hamilton for example) who treated pop art aesthetic as critique first, Warhol's extremely uncritical application of the aesthetic made it much more critical because it spells the quiet part loud,

Not a huge fan of Warhol (he infamously stole many unknown artist's work as a producer) but I gotta say, being Robin and letting Nico (le swoon..le sigh) be Batman is a prestige move...
