Funny Silly Wacky BATMAN HUMOR Photos & Comics!





I'm feeling pretty tired so I thought I would just post a few very funny Batman-related Comic Strips & Humor Photos. They're easy to post & always a lot of fun ( we all need a good laugh every now & then ). Also, many of these were sent in by a few Bat-Blog Readers so I want to thank them...they ROCK! ( My favorite is the one with the cute kid who has chocolate pudding all over his face. He really does look like the Joker from THE DARK KNIGHT movie, ha ha ha! )

BATMAN WALLPAPER BACKGROUNDS - Neal Adams' Comic Art



I just recently realized that, like a moron, I didn't post any FREE Batman Backgrounds on "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday". So, to make up for it here are 2 really great ones you will hopefully enjoy. They came about because of a suggestion from a friend named Satish. He said he wanted to see some "Neal Adams artwork". These wallpapers were made with graphics that were found on the front / back of some Vintage 1970's LP Album Covers. Remember those awesome stories published by POWER RECORDS? Well, here they are! In that one with Batman and Robin's faces I seriously love that old Batmobile car, very cool! The other one has the Joker which is always fun. Now remember, you can click on the button down below for the 20 or so most recent Batman Wallpaper Backgrounds or you can dig through our BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES where you can find hundreds of them. The "Archives" are located on the left side of this page, about half way down.

BATMAN AND ROBIN NEWS - Movie Ad Spotted in Egypt!



Here's an extremely awesome set of photos sent in by a Bat-Blog Fan all the way from Egypt! Yes, Egypt! His name is Myret & he wrote,
"Here are some pics I took in downtown Cairo of a building that has an advertisement of the "Batman and Robin" movie on it's side. It's been up since 1997, so it's a little bit rough around the edges, but it's still cool. The translation of what is written is "NOW IN ALL CINEMAS IN CAIRO AND ALEXANDRIA - BATMAN AND ROBIN!"
WOW! Thank you so much Myret for sending this, it's totally GREAT! The fact that this wall mural ad has existed all this time & has never been painted-over is very cool news. I totally love this!

BAT-BLOG CONTEST - BATMAN BUST STATUE From HEROES OF THE DC UNIVERSE Series


YES Boys & Girls! It's time again for a World Famous Bat-Blog Contest where this time the prize we're giving away is an incredible BATMAN BUST Statue from the HEROES OF THE DC UNIVERSE Collection ( it's the 2nd piece to the series )! Oh man, it's so beautiful! Seriously, when I opened the box I was kind of shocked by how nice this thing actually is ( photos don't do it justice ). The details are really insane. You can see "wrinkles" in Batman's Bat-Suit Costume that look very realistic. The base of the statue is meant to look like Gotham City's Dark Knight is perched on a rooftop, near a Gargoyle, & that part looks like it is actually stone & brick material. This hand-painted, cold-cast porcelain bust measures approximately 6" high x 3 1/4" wide x 4 1/2" deep and is packaged in a 4-color box. Overall, the whole thing is very highly detailed. Batman is holding his Bat-a-rang & it looks very real too. The rope is actually a very thick wire & looks kinda neat. Also, the paint job on this baby is really great... the colors are extremely accurate! I could go on & on about how wonderful it is but if you win you'll see. Now, how to enter. You must email us your Full Name & Address. You can only enter once & you must also put "BAT-BLOG CONTEST : BATMAN BUST #1" in the title of your email. The contest will go on until April 6th, 2010 & will close at 12:00 midnight ( Central Time ). Then, the very next day, the lucky winner will be announced right here on this website. So see, it's pretty easy! Just send us your full name & address plus put the right title in the email. Now, the most important thing about this message is that this contest was made possible by the extremely super-generous donation of a Bat-Blog Reader nicknamed BATFAN! He sent this to us knowing that many other Batman Fans would totally love this thing. He's right! This statue is very impressive. So, thank you very very very much to BATFAN, I really appreciate your patronage... you're GREAT!!

The BATCAT'S Vintage BATMAN Batmobile Tin Car & Toy Collection from Thailand!











The Bat-Blog became friends with a Batman Memorabilia Collector in Thailand known as "The BAT-CAT" & he has one of the very best Vintage Batman Toy Collections I have ever seen! He sent us a few photos to share & they feature just a part of his collection of Vintage 1960's and 1970's Batmobile Tin Toy Cars, a few Ray Guns, & even a Batman Robot or two. Yes! Robots!! Most of the vehicles are from Japan but there's also some from Italy & Argentina. I gotta say that my favorites are the older Japanese Batman Toys. All of them are in really great shape & some of them still have their original box or package. Please take a good look at each picture. They will make you totally cry & drool for days! I think the most unusual piece is the "Batman Cowboy Gun". Made from tin metal, it's extremely RARE & very exotic. BAT-CAT also owns a few Tin Toys of the Original LINCOLN FUTURA Car that the Custom 1966 Batman TV Show Car was based on ( 1st pic ) and that's pretty cool!! I wanna thank Bat-Cat for taking the time to shoot these wonderful pics & let him know that I am totally jealous, ha ha! but all kidding aside, I really appreciate it & you have some amazing stuff here, thanks again!
