New BATMAN POP ART - Acrylic Paintings

This is just a quick post to show-off some really fun artwork from a friend named "Mike Destructive". We have featured his art here before at the Bat-Blog & thought it would be nice to see some fresh stuff. Here are 2 brand-new Pop Art Style Paintings he has done recently. I love the colors in both of them. They also feature "Batman" so you know we totally dig them...enjoy!

Pumpkin Town U.S.A. Does BATMAN and ROBIN Theme!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! These extremely fun photos are from our friend Chris, who lives in Illinois & every year they have what they call "Pumpkin Town U.S.A.", which is exhibited for a week around the city.The theme changes every year and for 2010 they chose to do "Heroes and Villains". Then, the local High School picked "Batman" as the theme for their display. Here are just a few examples! Check out this amazing creativity, I totally love this! They have made scarecrows of the Caped Crusader, Robin, the Batmobile ( ha ha ), The Joker ( both the comic book version & Heath Ledger from The Dark Knight movie ), & Two-Face!! Well, they have not made the complete costume for Two-Face yet but they have made the pumpkin head for him & you can already tell it's gonna be very cool. I love the photo where Batman and Robin are working out on the weight bench & Batman is spotting Robin, hilarious!! Also, the Batmobile ( Riding Lawnmower ) is great stuff!! I wanna thank Chris for sharing this wonderful story with us & taking the great pics....this is fun! Plus, This is just in time to wake-up the Halloween spirit!!

Rick's Totally Insane BATMAN THEME Tattoo Artwork!!

Check out these wonderful photos sent in to the Bat-Blog by an extremely serious Batman Fan named Rick. I mean, this guy totally loves the character! To prove it he has had a ton of tattoo work done all over his body. The artwork is very well done & covers many different themes of the character. You have different comic book logos, many different villains ( The Joker, Penguin, & Riddler ), a few variations of Batman himself, the GCPD (Gotham City Police Department) Blimp, The Joker Card, & even a "POW! & BAM!" from the 1966 TV Show! WOW! I wanna thank Rick for both sending in these great pics & for being such an awesome fan...that's cool! Now a question for our readers, Do YOU have any bat-tats? Well, if so, then please shoot us some pics, thanks.

BATMAN - THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD MATCHBOX CARS 5-Pack Gift Set

Here's a brand-new Batman Toy to look out for on your next trip to Target. Here's the MATCHBOX CAR 5-Pack Gift Set with a BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD TV cartoon theme. The cars & trucks all feature Gorilla Grodd, Green Arrow, Batman, & Joker graphics. Yes, my favorite one is the purple car with the Joker on it. But actually, they're all pretty neat. This set retails for about $8.99, not a bad price. ( Thanks to Batmobilly for sending the photo ).

BATMAN PHONE CARDS - Reference Photos

Here at the Bat-Blog we're always trying to cover all the many different aspects of the Batman character but one main focus is on the joys of being a Bat-Collector. We also have a lot of great people who contribute wonderful material. This is a perfect example. Here are some photos sent in by our good friend, the BATFAN. He has a major collection of Batman Phone Cards he wanted to share. This is just a small portion of his full collection but these pics give you a great idea of what is out there ( Click on the pics for larger versions ). Phone Cards are really not that popular in the USA but in many foreign countries they're a VERY BIG deal. Our friend has got these from all over the globe: Brazil, Japan, Argentina, England, Canada, etc... I have always known of these things existing but never knew how many different ones there were. So, it's pretty cool to see these. My personal favorite ones are the "Batman: The Animated Series" Sets & the ones with the 1966 TV Show Actors ( Like Adam West, Julie Newmar, & Yvonne Craig ). The one with Adam West using the Red Bat-Phone is PERFECT! It's also cool to see the ones featuring the 1989 Tim Burton movie. I wanna thank BATFAN for taking the time to take these wonderful reference photos, they're GREAT! Do you have a large collection of a certain niche? Please send us some pics, thanks.

1966 BATMAN & BATMAN BEYOND is on the HUB TV Channel!

Here's a friendly reminder. The Classic 1966 BATMAN TV Show & the animated BATMAN BEYOND Cartoon are now both playing on the HUB. The HUB is now what used to be called the "Discovery Kids" channel. Unfortunately I don't get this on my version of cable, bummer...I'm extremely jealous, JEALOUS!!! But if you can watch it then you're in for a real treat. Please be sure to check your local listings for times & dates. Yes, I'm still jealous.
