A new friend to the Bat-Blog, named Adam Lauricella, sent this very cool photo of an amazing HEATH LEDGER JOKER TATTOO he recently did. And man, did he do an incredible job...it looks just like a scene from the new DARK KNIGHT Batman movie! Ya see, Adam is a Tattoo Artist working in Wappingers Falls, New York. His shop is called GRACELAND TATTOOS. For more information about this artist be sure to visit their website.
A friend named Reis, who runs a cool blog called Geek Orthodox, sent me some amazing pictures last night of a recent event featuring HUGE Batman-related Cookie Art! Yeah, you read that right, Cookie ART! In Washington, every year, the downtown Seattle Sheraton Hotel hosts a Gingerbread Village display decoration in their main lobby for Christmas. This year they seemed to go with a "Superhero Theme". It looks like some awesome pastry chef artists went totally nuts making a huge Batman display. They made a few different Batman figures, a Joker & Scarecrow head, even the Tumbler Batmobile! I have a few photos here but if want to see a lot more of these edible creations then please visit his site.
Just a friendly reminder that BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD is on TV tonight on Friday, December 12th. Be sure to check your local listings for correct time ( usually around 7:00 to 8:00 pm & if you miss it on Friday night they show another viewing early the next morning ). In this week’s episode, “Invasion of the Secret Santas”, the evil Fun Haus plans to steal Christmas with his army of robot Santa Clauses and killer toys including "Dynamite Dolly" Dolls and the "Presto Play Pals" Action Figures! Red Tornado teams up with Batman to save Christmas and in the process, finds his holiday spirit. Posted up above are a few scenes from the TV show & down below is a BATMAN / RED TORNADO DESKTOP WALLPAPER!
Every year, during the holidays, I try my best to support the TOYS FOR TOTS charity. I'm asking all readers to please do the same & make a donation because it really is a wonderful service to people, especially kids during Christmas. You can visit their website & make a money donation or easily donate some packaged toys at one of their many drop-off locations. Their website has more information but I do know that there is a drop-off box at ALL the Toys-R-Us stores. The charity is very efficiently ran by the US Marine Corps. They do good work. So, please make a donation, no matter how small. Every little bit helps & you'll feel great doing it. Thank You. Oh yeah, here's a link for more info:
Ha Ha! A friend of mine told me he saw a new Batman Bubble Bath called "Crazy Foam" at Target where the bottle has a huge Batman head. He said it wasn't designed like the old 1970's Crazy Foam but a more modern design, just with the same name. So I ran over there to get one & couldn't find it, but I did find this wacky bat-item! I guess some stock person found this old merchandise in the stockroom & put it out. It's a product from "The Batman" cartoon-era. It's a small plush pillow that gets cold when you freeze it in the refrigerator. Then you place it on sore muscle areas. It's kinda cute but the main reason I bought it is because it's so extremely www-weird. If any of you readers come across brand-new Batman items please let me know so I can share with other collectors, thanks.
Back in the late 1980's the Kenner Toy Company teamed up with Pepsi & Burger King to bring you these 4 SUPER POWERS collectible cups. The set included Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, & Darkseid. I always thought it was kinda weird that they chose "Darkseid", ha ha. Shown up above is the original store display for the cups & then be sure to watch the rare vintage TV commercial...because it's super-fun!
OK, I know these photos are gonna really excite fans of the 1966 Batman TV Show! Here are 3 pin-up girlie photos of Julie Newmar shot by Ralph Morse in the 1960's for Life Magazine. Of course we all know her as the greatest Catwoman ever...MEOW! Thanks to Ben for the pics, I appreciate that!
