Some Bat-Blog Readers might remember awhile back, during "The Dark Knight" movie, we were one of the very very first websites to announce the Hershey's Reese's Chocolate Candy Bar "Win The Bat-Bike" Contest. Well, recently we were contacted by the person who won! Her name is Kathy & she's a Realtor. I can't believe it but she actually won! Here's a few pictures of it in her garage ( Yes, I'm jealous!! ). It's an MV AUGUSTA F4 Motorcycle totally customized with "Dark Knight Batman" graphics. The attention to details is totally insane. They even engraved ( or embossed ) the "Reese's Limited Edition" logo on the handlebars, ha ha! It's really an extremely beautiful batbike & Kathy must be pretty proud to own it. I wanna thank her for contacting us because it's kinda cool to learn who actually won the thing! Thank you Kathy ...Can I borrow it this weekend?
Oh man... a friend of mine, named Dave, sent me this photo the other day I think just to torture me, ha ha! He knows how I totally love the Batman "store display" items because of their rarity & beauty! This one is a HUGE Batman Candy Bar Store Display for the recent THE DARK KNIGHT movie promotion with the Hershey's Chocolate company. They made special Kit Kat & Reese's Candy Bars that were a tie-in promo. I seriously love the large header card with the photo of Batman about to punch you out...awesome! Thanks Dave, I hope you got me this thing as a gift!! I'm not sure why the picture is so small here but if you click on it you can see this baby in all it's glory, check it out!!
Keeping up with all the new Batman Merchandise has been kinda fun. I can only imagine what's gonna happen when the movie comes out, it's gonna be THE DARK KNIGHT everywhere you go! Here's a neat TV commercial shown on TV recently. The quality isn't the best but it does give you a good idea of what it looks like. I wanna ask ALL Bat-Blog Readers to please let me know about ANY new Batman products so I can share them here, thanks.
OK, I had to do it, I opened a package! Originally I bought one of the Kit-Kat Candy Bars (with the Dark Knight Batman movie promotion) mainly to keep as a collectible. But knowing that the candy was imprinted with some kind of Batman Logo design, & not knowing what it looked like, drove me totally nuts, ha ha ha! So, I opened one to photograph for the Bat-Blog. Here it is, in all it's glory! It's embossed with the Dark Knight Bat-Symbol & on the inside of the wrapper there's a message from The Joker that says, "Ha, Ha, Ha! I got away with all the Dark Knight prizes - The Joker. Don't frown, play again." Awwww bummer, I wish it would have said, "You are a WINNER!" but that NEVER happens to me. Oh yeah, one more thing for people collecting these: In movie theaters there will be specially packaged MILK DUDS & WHOPPERS with the same Batman graphics, shown in this vinyl advertising banner. Let's just hope they're not $8.00 each or something crazy like that. You know what a rip-off theater food is, ha ha! The last time my wife & I shared a large popcorn & a large coke it was $10.00...OUCH!

They're being kinda secret about it right now but you can visit the Official Hershey's website by clicking the REESE'S BUTTON down below. If for some reason their website doesn't work it's because they're working on it. Come back & try again later. Oh yeah, the news about the contest will appear there on May 15th, 2008.
