Oh yeah! Here are some ever so delightful Batman-related HOT BAT-BABE WALLPAPERS to brighten your PC's desktop! I guess I gotta explain to brand-new BAT-BLOG Readers that every Wednesday we post a few FREE Batman Backgrounds. It's been a tradition for over 6 years so why stop now! These photos were submitted by our good friend BatDave from 2 different events that happened to be in New Jersey. The 1st one has a beautiful pair of Evil Bat-Villains, Catwoman and Harley Quinn! Oh yeah, there's some 1966 Batmobile Replica Cars in the photo too, ( who cares? ) Ha Ha! Speaking of the Batmobile the next one has a very pretty "Daisy Duke" Girl with the Famous Car, so I guess it's still "Batman-related"...right? You're welcome.

Vintage BATMAN 1966 BATMOBILE REPLICA CAR Story from 1989 Belgium Newspaper

WOW! Now here's an extremely cool piece of Bat-History! A Loyal Bat-Blog Fan in Belgium, named Cliff, sent us this scan of a Vintage Newspaper Clipping he has kept forever! Cliff explained,

"I thought you might be interested in a 1989 newspaper article which I have kept since then in my good old and battered Batman Official Movie book. According to the article, the stunning 1966 Batmobile Replica Car is the work of the (then) 27 year old Mark Perkins from Winkfield Row, UK. After having asked permission from Warner Brothers, Pekins ordered the 1973 Lincoln from the United States. Then, when it was shipped to him by… well, ship, he transformed the Lincoln into the Batmobile in seven months. The article ends by stating that the Batmobile Replica will be shown in front of London’s Warner West End Theater when the movie opens next Friday. I can’t help but wonder what has become of UK Batfan Mark Perkins and his Batmobile… I wonder if he ended up making replicas of the Furst Batmobile and the Tumbler :)"

That's a good question Cliff. Does the car still exist? If so, then where is it now? Thank you for sharing this great Batman-related Newspaper Clipping. It's so cool seeing older stuff like that. It's even cooler that it's "foreign". If any other BAT-BLOG.COM Readers out there have some interesting stuff like this then please don't hesitate to share with all of us, thanks!

NJ COMIC EXPO - BATVENTION PHOTOS - 1966 Batman TV Show and Movie Reunion

A few days ago the Bat-Blog.Com told you about the NJ COMIC EXPO "2011 Batvention Event" in Teaneck, NJ that happened last weekend. Well, Ace Bat-Repoter BatDave was there & got some amazing photos to share! The event was a Celebration of the 1966 BATMAN TV Show! Well, I should also say "the BATMAN Movie" too because the Guest of Honor was none other than CATWOMAN herself, Lee Merriwether!



Like we reported, many other Actresses from the 60's TV Show were there. They appear in the photos up above & it looks like they all had a great time. Batdave's friends, The Gotham City Supercars Club, were there with their incredible Batmobile Replica Cars. A guy named Batrodz even showed up with a wonderful 1966 Batcycle Replica Motorcycle ( Check out his Custom Batman Helmet! ). Captain Gene Nock was there with his Original 1966 Batcopter. That was very special because Lee Merriwether and that Original Bat-Vehicle both appeared in the 1960's BATMAN Film.



There were also a ton of wonderful Cosplay People all showing off their fun costumes. Whew! It looks like it was a totally great event, I wish I could have been there! Oh yeah, a special "Thank You" goes out to BatDave for getting all these awesome pics together. If anyone else went to this event and wants to share some pics then please let us know.

1966 BATMAN TV BATMOBILE CAR WALLPAPER From The GOTHAM CITY SUPERCAR CLUB

Our Buddies over at the GOTHAM CITY SUPERCAR CLUB in New Jersey recently sent us this beautiful photo showing a few of their 1966 Batmobile Replica cars that they were getting ready to go out as party rentals. Actually, I think they sent the pic to completely torture me. I don't have ONE of these, but they have TWO! ( Ha Ha! Just Kiddin' ) Actually they have more than these. They also have a Tumbler Batmobile, like the kind in the newer Batman Movies, and I'll be posting photos of that car later. But for right now, please enjoy this FREE BATMAN WALLPAPER you can use as a background on your PC desktop!!

Video - Batmobile Replica Car From 1995 BATMAN FOREVER Movie

Now, while the BATMAN FOREVER Movie from 1995 has not been a favorite bat-film of mine I have always thought that the Batmobile from that movie was OK. This video shows a Replica Car somebody made and no matter what you think about the real car this replica is extremely well done. I especially like the interior work with all the gauges, buttons, & knobs. The outside is nice too, very well done!

BATMOBILE REPLICA CARS & GOLDEN AGE BATWOMAN - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

If you read the Bat-Blog yesterday then you know we did a post about the "Michael Uslan Batman Book Signing" that happened in New Jersey last weekend. Well, for the event, they had a few Batmobile Replica Cars on display that were supplied by Gotham City Supercars. That's the 1st BATMAN WALLPAPER presented here. The photo features a very nice 1966 Batmobile & the cool car from the 1989 Movie. I would have tried to steal them BOTH, ha!







Then, the 2nd wallpaper background shares an image of BATWOMAN from the Golden Age. It's a convention drawing by Sheldon Moldoff. You see, I recently got an email from a Bat-Blog Fan asking to see a "Batwoman Background" showing her as she appeared in the TV Cartoon, "Batman: The Brave and The Bold". Yes, she made an appearance. Well, I did have some nice graphics of her but they're on my old computer that I can't access. Then, I searched Google forever trying to find these pics & could never find anything decent. Then, I asked the Warner Bros PR Dept to please send me some pics but that's taking forever. So I finally settled on these. Sorry Dude, I'll have those images for you when I can get them. In the mean time please enjoy this one.
