Quoted By:
When I first heard of a future form for Gallade, i theorized that it would follow the theme of "justice past chivalry" ,where he'd go from a knight, to a vigilante.
The sort of elements that helped this theory was the pattern of making edgier versions of old pokémon, and some articles i saw that claim based on overall popularity that Batman is Spain's most popular superhero.
All of this inspired this art.
