Nearly a decade ago, a user named a_hardin posted to the Mathematics Stack Exchange: Is this Batman Equation for Real? The question gained 466 upvotes before moderators closed it. The accepted solution, by ShreevatsR received 1085 upvotes for its magnificent dissection of the equation.
I have often wondered if I, myself, am capable of such mathematical acrobatics. So I finally tried. Here are my results.
My image consists mostly of parabolas and a few quartics. I broke the image down into eleven strokes. By restricting the domains (or ranges) of the functions, and tweaking the equations, I was able to generate the desired curves.
