I just got some news about another soon to come out LEGO BATMAN Play Set from the DC Universe Super Heroes Series and it's called "The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape" #6857. It's a large Lego Toys Playset that comes with five Lego Figures: Batman, Robin, Riddler, Joker, and Harley Quinn!! Check it out, it looks pretty cool!
OK, I've seen these new LEGO BATMAN Toys on eBay so I'm guessing they're starting to hit stores now. LEGO TOYS has a brand new property they call "DC UNIVERSE SUPER HEROES" where they will make play sets that revolve around DC Comics characters. The cool thing is they are mainly putting a focus on BATMAN, ha! We have reported about it here at the Bat-Blog a few times but here are some really great photos of the box packaging. In the 1st wave there will be:
New Rumor: Here's photo evidence of a new LEGO BATMAN 2 DC SUPER HEROES Video Game that will also feature other characters like: Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern. This picture was found by the Lego Toys Fan-Site BRICKTUTS. The game is rumored for a 2012 release, which would coincide with the arrival of the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises. As reported earlier here at the Bat-Blog.Com, LEGO TOYS also has plans to release many more brand-new BATMAN and DC Comics Superhero Play Sets due to roll out next year. Stay tuned for more info.
Over at the LEGO TOYS Company Website they have been showing some Lego Fan Art that celebrates the release of more BATMAN Licensed Products next year. Yes! LEGO BATMAN is coming back and I think it's gonna be even bigger and crazier than last time. Whoops, back to the ART. The 1st one, with the Joker making an appearance, was drawn by Alison Goetz. It's pretty funny and looks like it was done with Colored Pencil. Then, my favorite of the bunch, is a very excellent parody of the iconic comic book cover to Detective Comics # 27. It was made by Tony Norton. Last, but not least, is this piece of Photography Art created by Daniel Mezraev. Batman is struggling to reach his trusty Batarang, ha ha!
For this week's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" I thought I would post some BATMAN WALLPAPERS that kind of celebrate a few brand-new BATMAN PRODUCTS out there that are fun! The 1st one is a nice photo of the 2011 BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM Batmobile Hot Wheels Car made by Mattel. I got one of these recently, it's a cool toy!
Now, I know the 2nd one is kinda crazy but I really love these Batman Shoes! Our friend Andy, who lives in the UK, told us about these special Converse Sneakers ( Kid's Size Only, yeah bummer! ) that are sold in England. They have awesome "Batmobile" graphics on them!
The last Background is a nice hi-res shot of the next NEW 2012 LEGO BATMAN BATCAVE, which is not out yet, but is featured here because it's so AWESOME!
OK, I know these are strange backgrounds but they are fun, please give one a try. Also, be sure to check the Bat-Blog Archives on the left-hand side of this page, near the middle, to see many more. Plus, for all the recent ones we have posted you can be lazy & just click the button down below, ha ha!
The real main focus of the BAT-BLOG.COM is to share the fun and joy of collecting cool Batman stuff! We report on a lot of the mainstream products but we also like to feature unusual items that might go under the radar. Here's some great examples. The 1st two pics were sent in by our Good Friend & Awesome Bat-Reporter, BATMOBILLY! He went on the Retail Store Hunt recently & came up with these unusual items.
First, here is a LEGO BATMAN Winter Hat & Glove Set for Kids. Hey, these are pretty awesome, I'd wear them! I totally love the graphics & the image of Batman & Robin climbing the wall totally make me wonder if it's a homage to the 1966 TV Show, ha! It looks like that famous scene, doesn't it?!
Next up is totally new line of Action Figures that Batmobilly found at Toys-R-Us. They are 4 Batman "STEALTH STRIKE" Toys! He said they were unknown to him & I gotta admit that I have not heard any news of them either, it's like they just came outta no where!
OK, the last photo is a totally cool piece to try to add to your collection but getting it is going to be difficult. Why? It's not a regular retail item but a special Store Display Standee for the BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game. This photo was sent in by our friend Jacob and, if I remember right, he said he got it at Wal-Mart. About the only way to get one of these is to go stalk Retail Stores that might have these & totally suck-up to the Store Manager, ha! I got some of these a few years back for the BATMAN LEGO Game from Blockbuster Video.
At the recent 2011 New York Comic Con there was a lot of hype about LEGO TOYS bringing back the LEGO BATMAN Merchandise. This is great news for Bat-Collectors because this stuff was extremely cool! Not only were the toys wonderful but they based a video game on the figures that proved quite popular. Now, you know the BAT-BLOG.COM is gonna be all over this so please stay tuned to that. In the mean time, here's a photo of the brand-new 2nd Version LEGO BATMAN BATCAVE for you to drool over, click on it... I'm lovin' it! ( Poison Ivy and Bane! )
Yesterday, we did a post ( Part One) that celebrated the Batman and Joker Toys & Statue Collection of a friend to the Bat-Blog, named Niko. He lives in France and is a very serious BATMAN Toy Collector. Well, this is "Part Two". It's focus is on a Display Case that appears to have been built-in to a wall ( See the 2nd photo ). All the other pics show the collected items on each shelf. The collection is very eclectic with a lot of variety so it's really fun to see. There are some Batman and Joker Statues, Lego Toys, McDonalds Happy Meal Toys, DC Direct & Mattel Action Figures, UK Eaglemoss Figures, Animated Series Diecast Vehicles by ERTL , Some CORGI Toy Cars & much much more! ( Thanks Again Niko! )
We totally love it when Bat-Blog Fans share their personal photos that show how they completely love the Batman character. To me, that's what this site is all about! So, here we go! The 1st two pics are from our friend Christopher's Wedding. Yes, a Wedding Cake with Batman & Batgirl Toy Figures as the toppers... How cool is that?! This cake is beautiful.
Then, here's a wonderful photo taken by our friend Autumn right after finishing her Bat-Cake. This was a Birthday Cake for an extremely lucky person. Plus, I think she did an amazing job on it, the logo looks awesome! ( Thanks to everyone who shared pics )
