I got this hilarious photo the other night from Chuck Dixon & it totally cracks me up! Recently he went to the 2009 Mini-Mega Con in Orlando, Florida. This is one of those comic book conventions I would really love to go to. While there, Chuck met "The Ventriloquist & The Dummy, Scarface". WOW! This costume is pretty awesome! I wanna thank Chuck for the photo, it really brightened my day. I love when Comic Book Fans get really into the characters they love. Cosplay is just one way they show they care, that's cool. Oh yeah, and for a few Bat-Blog Readers who might not know, Chuck Dixon was a MAJOR Batman comic book writer for many years during the 90's. So it's cool he got to meet "The Ventriloquist & Scarface", ha ha! Hey, if any other Bat-Blog Readers have any fun comicon or cosplay photos then please be sure to send them in! Our e-mail button is ALWAYS on the top right-hand side of this page.
game system is XBOX so they would totally freak over this! Personally, I prefer the Playstation & I really need to upgrade to the new verison, the PS3.OK, I thought I would post this just to torture you, ha ha! No, actually a good friend, known as The BATFAN, sent us these pics last night. He had just bought the brand-new BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Collector's Edition for his XBOX 360 console. Now when I first got these pics I didn't quite understand why so many pictures kind of looked the same. Then, pretty quickly I figured out that he went through a step-by-step process of slowly photographing the thing as he opened it so the experience would be like YOU are actually opening this thing up for the very first time & seeing things the way he did ...a very neat idea! Basically, in The Collector's Edition, you get the video game but it comes in a special Batman Display Case. The only way I can think of explaining it is "a bat-shaped briefcase...that's thick", ha ha. When you open that there are a few layers & you get a Batarang Prop with a display stand, some paperwork, a Leather-Bound Booklet, & the actual game disc. Now, my 2 small nephew's It's totally killing me that I can't play this game right now. All the reviews have been wonderful so I can't wait! I hope you guys are enjoying it already. I know some of you are, I have been flooded with e-mails saying, "Awesome awesome game!!". That's cool. I need to cry a little bit right now. Sorry...I can't type anymore.
Eidos Games released the brand-new BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Video Game on August 25th & people are still going crazy! All the reports that I have been getting so far are saying that this is the BEST Batman and/or Superhero Franchise game yet!!
I couldn't sleep tonight & at about 2:30am I suddenly realized, "Oh Man, Today is the 3rd Anniversary of The Bat-Blog!! So, to commemorate this fact I thought I would post this wacky-fun graphic a friend sent to me recently. His name is Mark & he took a picture of Robin I had here & made this funny "Motivational Poster". As soon as I saw it I totally cracked up, HA HA HA! Plus, it was a very touching gesture to see somebody actually care about this stupid blog! OK, I think I'm gonna go try to get some sleep now & when I post later today it will be the 1st day of my 4th year. Also, I want to thank everybody who keeps reading this site. I really hope you enjoy it at times & it brightens your day. Thanks.
OK, I know that yesterday was the official launch of the brand-new BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Video Game! But awhile back I made a promise to join-in on a special event on August 25th where 14 Comic Book Superhero Blogs teamed together to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of SUPER POWERS Toys! Maybe you noticed all the craziness yesterday, ha ha! It's still going on but I knew I had to take a little break to talk about this awesome new game! So, to honor the new bat-game I created these 2 new ARKHAM ASYLUM Desktop Backgrounds. These babies both feature one of Batman's coolest super-villains KILLER CROC ( or is his name Killercroc? )!! Either way he's very scary & I hope you enjoy them!! Also, if you would like other AA wallpapers or info just click on the word "Arkham Asylum" down below in the "Labels" area. That will pull up all the recent posts about the game. There are many more backgrounds & video to enjoy. Plus, I'll be doing more posts in the next few days so keep an eye out for those, whew!
You're either playing the game or you want the game! Yeah, I'm talking about the new BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Video Game! The official launch & release of the game was yesterday & many people are saying it will be THE GAME OF THE YEAR! Sadly, I have not got to play it yet but seriously plan too. I mean, all the reviews have been very excellent...I'm pretty happy about that! While searching for alternative products in this franchise I came across these 2 extremely cool T-Shirts. One features Batman, as seen on the video game's box cover. The other T-Shirt has a JOKER graphic where the Joker ( voiced by Mark Hamill ) looks totally crazy! If you would like to know where to buy them I have added a link button down below. While there be sure to check out some of the other Batman T-Shirts they have because there's some other great ones too!
Welcome to CRISIS ON EARTH-BLOG!! I know that today a lot of Bat-Blog Readers are gonna kind of freak out a little bit because there are a lot of changes here, & a huge amount of posting going on, so please let me explain. Today, August 25th, 2009 the Bat-Blog has teamed-up with many other toy collector / comic book reader / superhero-type blogs to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Kenner's SUPER POWERS Action Figure line! Yes, oh man! I can't believe it's been 25 years...I now feel kinda old! So, all the posts today are gonna be total SUPER POWERS craziness!! But, to stay inside the Bat-Blog theme, everything here will be totally Batman-related, I promise. Of course we all know & love this special line of toys. They're Classic! In 1984 Kenner got the license from DC Comics to make a line of superhero action figures & it became an instant success! So much so that they even started to create other products bearing that name. They even did cartoons & had their own line of DC comic books...it was crazy! Just to jog your memory is a photo showing most, if not all, of the figures in the series. Also, down below is a list of all the websites participating in this HUGE event that everybody decided to call "CRISIS ON EARTH-BLOG!!". Now, all the other websites will each do a set of feature stories, like here, where they will each focus on certain SUPER POWER action figures or characters. So, please be sure to visit the other websites on the list. In the next few posts we'll take you down memory lane to re-visit some childhood favorites. If you had these as a kid you'll remember them fondly ( I hope ). If you are way younger, & are totally unfamiluar with them, then you're about to be educated in coolness! Why? Because Kenner made one of the very BEST toy lines...EVER!!
