I am looking to frame this:

It consists of the batarangs by synasp, the Bat emblem by Big Blue Saw, a Superman S from MattMunson's sale page and a Green Crystal by Blackwell FX.

Any suggestions on a sutable color for the background to compliment it all?

How about placement?

Thanks in advance.

What about that Superman blue color? I think that might work. Any super hero type color!!!!!

This is going to ROCK! Great project!

If you could do a gradated background from a Superman blue to a Batman grey, that might work.

Do the Superman blue as seen in "Returns" but as opposed to the dye sublimated diamond pattern, do bats instead.

This was the exact first thing I thought of...

How about an icy glacier Fortress of Solitude wall behind the Supes pieces, then blending down into a rocky Batcave wall behind the Bat pieces.
Just a thought.

To the untrained eye, that's a green *****. which leads me to believe Batman and Superman are into some freaky s***.

Why not a yellow color background ? To remind the color of both superheros belts ?

I think Cavedweler is on the right track. Something other than a color or gradient is needed here. It might entail a bigger frame and cost a bit more, but how about matting each piece in its own "hole" with a white border around it like a comic book panel. Maybe have a few "dummy" panels with nothing in them other than a comic image featuring both Supes and Bats, ala Millers "Dark Knight" graphic novel.
If solid colors are your thinking, i would go with a dark grey frame, a double matt of "blue" on top with the lower one outlining each piece with a thin band of yellow.

What about some comic book pages as the background.

You could mix them up between batman and superman, favorite scenes, and you know cover the complete background. Kind of ramdom at angles all over each other.

It may look too busy, but might look good, try it out, and mix it up with some black and white.
