Our Friend Alex found some cool photos of some 2012 BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Halloween Costumes that might get made. Well, they will be created, it's just that these pics are "Prototype Only" for now & not official. You get the idea! But hey, they're gonna make suits of Batman, Bane, and Catwoman! ( Thanks Alex ).
Check out these fun photos of some brand-new 2012 BATMAN Merchandise related to THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie Franchise. Here are some BATMAN and BANE Extreme Head Knockers made by NECA. Yes, they're EXTREME! OK, You know that they will probably have to make a Catwoman figure too! We're not sure of an exact release date right now but as soon as we know, you know, stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG.COM for all your Toy Collecting News. Also, our friend Alex found these pics & sent them to us, Thanks Alex!
OK, These photos are total torture for me! I mean, I already know I will not be able to afford to buy this brand-new HOT TOYS '89 BATMOBILE Toy and I'm already crying myself to sleep over it, ha! This is the HUGE vehicle being made for the large "Michael Keaton BATMAN" Hot Toys Figure. It's gonna be real expensive ( Like hundreds of dollars ) but completely worth every penny as it's a beautiful, and extremely detailed, replica of the Batmobile Car from the 1989 BATMAN Movie.
It has Rubber Tires with Detailed Tread, a Cockpit that slides open, an Instrument Panel inside that's very detailed, Machine Gun Turrets that pop-out of the hood, a Special Base to display it on, etc... it even comes with a "Cocoon Shield" to cover it. OK, I'm just gonna cry for about an hour or two. I know you are so much braver than I am so please be sure to check out all the wonderful photos.
Here is a small sample of some brand-new BATMAN Toys that will be coming our during THE DARK KNIGHT RISES movie. Oh yeah, there will be a TON of merchandise from this film! the 1st image are some SMALL Miniature Figures of Batman, Catwoman, & Bane. These will also include mini-vehicles & other characters.

Our Good friend, Saul, is having a wonderful vacation in Las Vegas right now and he says that no matter where you go they have a BATMAN SLOT MACHINE, everywhere! They are all themed like THE DARK KNIGHT Movie with characters and graphics from the film. They even have a special one for Heath Ledger's version of the Joker called "The Joker's Heist!". There is also a HUGE version at the Bellagio with a giant screen display. Oh man, this is so cool! Thanks Saul for sharing these fun pics and please, try NOT to lose your life savings, ha ha!
OK, It's a little late in the day but it's still Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!! Here are some FREE BATMAN WALLPAPER BACKGROUNDS you might enjoy. To make them, I used some Promo Art originally created for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES movie merchandise. One of them is a brand-new "Batman on his Bat-Pod Motorcycle" Toy that I think will probably be made by Mattel. The other is some standard Promotional Artwork.
For a very long time I've been wondering what some of the "Promotional Art" for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES will look like. This is the stock illustration artwork used on merchandise & advertising promos. Well, here it is! Here are a few random examples recently found & there's even a photo of an actual item, a cool BATMAN Lunch Box by Thermos. OK, TDKR products should start surfacing soon so if anybody ( that includes YOU ) sees ANYTHING BATMAN in Retail Stores then please let us know! Remember, sharing the joys of collecting Batman Toys and Stuff is what the BAT-BLOG.COM is all about!

Wow! HOT TOYS is getting a lot of news lately! They just announced they will be making a BANE Figure in their line of BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie Figures. No surprise there, ha! But here's the "teaser image" they gave us... with no face! But, knowing them it will be awesome.
The Toy Company HOT TOYS announced they will be coming out with a new line of 1/6th and 1/4th scale collectible figures based on the 1992 "Batman Returns" movie which stared Michael Keaton as Batman, Danny DeVito as Penguin and Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. The Release Date is not set in stone but expect something towards the end of 2012.
According to my Bat-History Files today is Actor JIM CARREY's Birthday. He was born in 1962 and will always have a place in Batman lore as the Actor who played THE RIDDLER in the 1995 BATMAN FOREVER Movie. Shown up above are just a small example of products bearing his image. This was the film that starred Val Kilmer as the Dark Knight and I fondly remember thinking that Jim Carrey did a really decent job of portraying the "Prince of Puzzles". He had just the right amount of crazy zaniness, just check out the video down below. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM CARREY!!
Here are 2 videos I'm posting just for fun. Both of them are variations on some Batman Theme Song Music. The 1st one is "Heavy Metal" and the 2nd one has a "Punk Rock" flavor, ROCK OUT!
Check out this hilarious video clip where Conan O'Brien does a Funny Parody of the latest Movie Trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Film! "Glibbert humdin dkdj fh mnnnnft Bat-Blog!"
HEY KIDS! You know what time it is? It's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"! Here's where we post a few FREE Batman Backgrounds to brighten-up your PC desktop! This week we're going with sort of a CATWOMAN theme. I wanted to make some using photos of Anne Hathaway in her Cat-Suit but found out that decent photos don't practically exist yet. It seems that Warner Bros is keeping a tight grip on those pics for now! So, here are just some very cool graphics NOT related to the DARK KNIGHT RISES film and then the last one is from the recent Movie Trailer showing Anne Hathaway as "Selina Kyle". Dang, she looks pretty HOT! Stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG.COM for TDKR Movie News, and as soon as we get some decent wallpaper-sized pics of the new CATWOMAN they will be released, MEOW!
Hey Kiddos, it's Wednesday. You know what that means, it's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"! Yes, it's time once again to post some Free BATMAN Wallpapers. Since there really hasn't been any hype lately from Warner Bros about THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie I thought I'd post a few inspired by the film. I gotta say, it's been pretty hard finding decent photos of Catwoman ( Anne Hathaway is still hiding, ha! ) so I guess the focus will be on the BATMAN and BANE characters. Here we go!
Here are a few examples of artwork have have been inspired by the next Batman movie, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. The film won't be released for another 205 Days, 8 Hours, and 42 Minutes but some people just can't wait, ha! The 1st two images were created by our Buddy Sean Hartter. He likes to create these parody vintage movie posters that ask, "What If?". Like, What if TDKR was produced in another time period? So, he created this parody movie poster. I like the idea of Kelly LeBrock being Catwoman ( what ever happened to her? ). Then, check out the next graphic, Sean drew this great portrait of BANE in his own crude minimal style ( the colors are awesome ).
Next up, is another parody but on a whole other level. This was created by our Friend "Bacon" and is a combination of the classic horror film, "Night of The Living Dead". Batman is a Zombie in a Graveyard! Oh, by the way, this image is presented here as a WALLPAPER BACKGROUND so please be sure to enjoy it in that way.
A special THANK YOU goes out to both Hartter & Bacon for sharing their fun artwork. Thanks guys, these are really great!
