Video: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS Art Student Animation

This video was done by an art student who was totally inspired by Batman. It's based on the Frank Miller Batman from "The Dark Knight Returns" graphic novel. If you have read that classic book then you will recognize this moment. Overall the animation is pretty good & I like the minimal-style artwork too...a great piece!

BATMAN & ROBIN TATTOO Using Ron English Art

OK, I'm a huge fan of the paintings & artwork of an artist named Ron English. So, the other day when I received an e-mail from a Bat-Blog Reader who told me he saw a "Batman and Robin Kids" Tattoo I was pretty excited. The tattoo artist did such a great job that I added the image of the original painting for comparison, check it out! Oh yeah, if you would like to see more work by Ron English then be sure to scan his POPAGANDA website. Here's a link:

DC UNIVERSE Batman Action Figure Pack BATGIRL and AZRAEL

Early next year be sure to keep an eye out for this very cool Batman-related DC UNIVERSE Action Figure 2-Pack Set. It includes Batgirl & Azrael. But, remember, this is a TOYS-R-US Exclusive so you can only find it there. I think the Batgirl figure looks pretty cool!

Cute Kid as Heath Ledger's JOKER from the Dark Knight Batman Movie!

"WHY SO SERIOUS?!" The other day I received an e-mail from a Bat-Blog Reader named Joey. He wrote, "My daughter Robin recently went to a party and there was a face painter. She had her share of girly face painting and she proved to be a FREAK! LIKE ME!". Ha Ha! Thanks Joey. Your daughter looks great with this very cool Joker make-up. I almost thought it was actually Heath Ledger for a second...ha ha, just kidding. But seriously, it's wonderful that such a great kid can be a HUGE Batman Fan like her father...that's awesome! Thank you for sharing this story & photo with my readers. I know they will get a really big kick out of it, it's very cool.

Classic BATMAN AND ROBIN Paper Craft Toys!

Over at the TOY-A-DAY website they have 2 totally awesome "Vintage-Style" BATMAN & ROBIN Paper Craft Toys you can download & make. Basically they are some free PDF files you can send to your PC's printer ( or e-mail to Kinko's Copies ) & then cut-out to assemble. I think the artist did an amazing job capturing all the small details. The toys look pretty cool & while you're there be sure to check out the many different designs they have. But I gotta warn ya, these Paper Craft Projects are totally addictive!

Original BATMAN ARTWORK Found on MySpace

Over at the Bat-Blog's MySpace page we received a message from a friend named "Billyman" who likes to draw Batman. His artwork was pretty amazing so I knew I had to post it here to share with my readers. Please leave a comment & let us know what you think about it or which one is your favorite. As always, I wanna invite all creative Bat-Blog Readers to send us your Batman-related artwork. Our e-mail button is always on the top right-hand side of this page, thanks. Oh yeah, thank you Billyman for sending this great art, you ROCK!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING From The BATMAN Family!

I wanna wish everybody ( in the USA anyway, ha ha ) a very Safe & HAPPY THANKSGIVING! To mark the occasion I "borrowed" a wonderful parody photoshop photo made by a friend nick-named "A. Pennyworth". He used a classic painting by Norman Rockwell. But his version features the cast from the 1966 Batman TV Show & is also an incredible piece of ART!
