BATMAN 3D Graphic Novel - Vintage Comic Book Ad


About 20 years ago ( ©1990 ) DC Comics came out with a new graphic novel titled BATMAN 3D. It's main writer / artist was John Byrne but many other comic artists made an appearance too. People like: Arthur Adams, Jim Aparo, Mike Mignola, Bret Blevins, Al Williamson, Dave Gibbons, Klaus Janson, Gerry Ordway, George Perez, Alex Toth, Barry Winsor-Smith, & Mike Zeck. It featured a lot of stories & full-page pin-ups that were all done with 3D technology. I remember when it came out & it was pretty cool! Well, here's a vintage full-page comic book advertisement sent in by our friend Christopher ( Thanks Chris ). Readers, please be sure to click on it for a very large picture. The 2 main things I remember about this book was that all the stories were very very good. They even reprinted a 1953 Batman & Robin story titled "The Robot Robbers" that was really neat. The 2nd thing was that the "3D effect" really worked very well & some pages just totally popped-out of the book. At the time it was a whole new experience. If you ever get the chance to pick this up at a comic book store or convention then please do so. But, remember to check to make sure it still has the 3D glasses with it.

Video - BATMAN - CITY OF SCARS Fan-Film Movie

The Bat-Blog reported awhile back that the BAT IN THE SUN Film Crew was working on a brand new fan-made movie titled BATMAN: CITY OF SCARS. Well, they finally released the thing & WOW, it was well worth the wait! For being a very low budget film it really has some great production quality. These are the guys who, a few years ago, created the fan-favorite "Patient J". The costumes, props, sets, make-up, & over all design is really great. The acting isn't too bad either, I was very impressed. It features a wonderful cast of villains like The Joker, Harley Quinn, Zsasz, The Ventriloquist & Scarface. The film runs about 30 minutes so you might wanna grab a snack, kick back, & be entertained.
The Basic Story:



When the Joker escapes from Arkham and murders the parents of a young boy, Batman recalls the pain of losing his own parents as a child. He is pushed past his limits to the point where his focus becomes revenge on all who stand in his way, including many of Gotham’s underworld. Finally, Batman is forced to look at the psychological profile of his own mind and accept the consequences of his life to find resolve.

BATMAN and ROBIN Vintage-Style Graphic Art Posters



Michael B. Myers is a 27 year old Graphic Designer and, as a personal project, he recently created a few "Vintage Style Superhero Posters" featuring a few of our favorite DC Comics characters. He actually made a lot of them ( Green Lantern, Superman, The Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Green Arrow, & Hawkman) but because the Bat-Blog is mostly Batman-related, I thought I would just post these 2 of The Dark Knight and Robin.

Xavier's Cool BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Birthday Cake!


Our good friend Xavier recently had a birthday & he got this extremely awesome Batman Birthday Cake. Oh man, I am so jealous! Seriously, this thing is so cool! It's the version of Batman from the BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD animated series, which is great because I really love that TV cartoon. OK, just for fun, I made a Batman Wallpaper of the image from the cake ( I hope Xavier likes it but other Bat-Blog Fans can enjoy it too ). Oh yea, before I end this post I can't forget to tell Xavier, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Dude, I hope you got some cool stuff!"



If any other readers get any bat-cakes this year please send us some pics.
