TV News - BATMAN on American Pickers!

This is kinda funny! Our good friend, the Bat-Fan, saw this on TV awhile back & sent us a photo. It's a scene from "American Pickers" where Mike spots a BATMAN LOGO Surfboard, ha! If you're not familiar with the series it's a TV Show on the History Channel where two "Antique Guys" named Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz search old barns & homes across America on the hunt for Vintage Collectibles & Old Antiques. Personally, I love the show because this job is sort of what I have done for a living for 20+ years. Well, except I spent more time at Estate Sales & Flea Markets. If you have never seen "American Pickers" then check it out sometime, it's a fun show!

Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight

Starting on July 16th, & then showing a few other times this month, The History Channel will be showing a special documentary titled "Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight". Here's what they wrote about the show, "Delve into the world of Batman and the vigilante justice that he brought to the city of Gotham. Batman is a man who, after experiencing great tragedy, devotes his life to an ideal--but what happens when one man takes on the evil underworld alone? Examine why Batman is who he is--and explore how a boy scarred by tragedy becomes a symbol of hope to everyone else." I've seen promo TV commercials on this & it looks pretty good! Here's the dates they will be showing this but you might need to check your local listing for correct times because they're usually different on the west & east coasts.
