Here's some very interesting photos sent in by a Bat-Blog Fan named Leon. He has this life-size manikin to display his extremely well-detailed Batman Costume. Of course, it's the "Adam West" bat-suit version from the 1966 TV Show. WOW! The costume looks great on this thing, very cool! Thank you Leon for sharing the pics & great job on the manikin too. I have always wanted one of these fully-detailed costumes. But they're so expensive to put together that I will have to wait, ha ha! ( Yeah, I'm jealous & kinda bitter! )
Last May 2nd was FREE COMIC BOOK DAY at every friendly neighborhood Comic Book Shop in the USA. Included in the list was GROUND ZERO COMICS in Tyler, Texas. But the cool thing was they had BATMAN there! OK, not the "Official Batman" like Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, Adam West, or others. But the next best thing...our friend, Deacon Bill! Bill wore a really excellent "1966 Batman TV Show" style costume with cape & cowl! He even had the cool Bat-Belt to complete the really well-made "Adam West" Bat-Suit! So, I wanna thank Bill for sending me the fun photo & also wanna invite everyone else who may have some "Bat-Moment Photos" to share then send them here. Remember, the Bat-Blog is all about FUN! Oh yeah, and toy collecting. and enjoying the cartoons, and...
Here's a really neat mini-documentary on designing the Bat-Suit for Michael Keaton in the 1989 Batman movie. It features interviews with Peter Guber ( Producer ), Graham Churchyard ( Asst. Costume Designer ), Vin Burnham ( Costume Effects Supervisor ), Day Murch ( Batsuit Wrangler ), Peter MacDonald ( 2nd Unit Director ), & Tim Burton ( Director ).
