The painting "KEEP YOUR ENEMIES REALLY CLOSE" portrays the Astronaut, wearing a Batman cape, seated in an inflatable ring with a grinning Joker head. The astronaut seems to be keeping a watchful eye on his enemy, as if to imply that he knows the Joker's every move. The painting plays with the idea that sometimes it's better to keep your enemies close, rather than push them away, in order to better understand their motives and intentions. Despite being mortal enemies, the astronaut seems to rely on the existence of his inflatable enemy as a tool for staying above water and to provide a sense of purpose to his heroic efforts. The wind blowing his Batman cape only adds to the dramatic effect of the scene, reminding us that even the most determined heroes need a challenge to overcome.
