Robin and the Boomtube of Apokolips

So Belle and I have worked up something rather amusing. I came up with the concept, characters and story, with input from Belle. Belle can draw. I do Photoshop.

This is what we've got for starters. (All the links below are wikipedia.)

At the risk of killing the joke, the idea is to mash-up The Castafiore Emerald and Tintin and the Picaros with DC's Legends miniseries - with extra liberties taken. Cuthbert Calculus becomes the original Doctor Mid-Nite, forever punctuating the atmosphere at Waynespike Manor with cough-inducing dark bombs. (He loses his infrared goggles and can only see by filling the place with smoke.) As our story opens he has just performed a bold operation, in a smokefilled laboratory, splitting the schizophrenic Firestorm into Firestorm and Pfirestorm and causing Captain Batman to call the fire department. Bianca Castafiore becomes Amanda Waller, and a subplot of the first part of the story revolves around Captain Batman - after he is bitten by the Parrademon - determined to get away from Waynespike Manor, because Waller has sent a letter announcing she is coming to visit. She always brings the Suicide Squad. (I figure we need Dr. Light in here somewhere.)

The Parrademon Robin and Captain Batman encounter at the start has, of course, been sent through a Boomtube from Apokolips. Much Darkseid and deSaad hijinks. Glorious Godfrey writes irritating articles in the paper, denouncing Robin and Captain Batman. Possibly our heroes will journey to Apokolips, where they will meet Scott Free. (This gets a bit hazy.)

Love it! The firestorm suits almost look like something the twins would wear. (Maybe when visitng the site of Jack Kirby's mysterious dissapearance.)
Is deSaad based on Laslo Carreidas from Fliht 714? Is that book *one of the weirdest, and one of my favorites) part of the mash-up mix?

PS: where'd you get the Tintin title font at?

Can I model as the Captain?

Max, you get the fonts for free at dafont.com. Just search 'tintin font'. John, you're perfect! It's uncanny really.
