I chose this because: serene outlines (like, they're not flamboyant flicking about or jutting in/out, they look like they are sort of a coating on a 3D model that was already there, what a terrible description...), picking out sort of blunt, honest looking forms and textures, they're very physical, he puts in enough detail and textures and leaves enough white space, the blocks of black are minimal, that it makes you focus on the volume of all the things he's drawn rather than the light over surface of the whole image. That plain kind of gritty display of subjects, letting subjects speak for themselves seems British, or stereotypically British, like an old stiff upper lip guy calling a spade a spade, except it's not a spade, it's Batman.
Also the way in other things he's used frames really inventively, with the same sort of air of not being over the top, doing things just sobrely enough, that is really amazing.
