To promote his New Brand of GENTLE GIANTS WORLD CLASS CANINE CUISINE Dog Food, Burt Ward will be appearing LIVE this weekend at the Wal-Mart Super Center in Baldwin Park, CA! He'll be there both days, Saturday, January 28th & Sunday, the 29th (2012). The schedule is 9:00 am till 4:00 pm, each day! With every purchase of a Bag of GENTLE GIANT Dog Food you'll also get a FREE Autographed Photo of "Robin, the Boy Wonder"! Plus, they will have a 1966 Batmobile Car on-site where you can get your picture taken in the Driver's Seat. YES, you can actually SIT INSIDE THE BATMOBILE, ha! So, bring the Kids and your camera!!
Awhile back, I received an email about a very cool future Bat-Event, BURT WARD ( The Actor who played "Robin, The Boy Wonder" on the 1966 BATMAN TV Series ) was being interviewed on the Nightwatch Radio Podcast. Awesome! Except, because of an internet glitch, I never got this news. Then the event happened and I only had time to post it on the Bat-Blog Facebook page just an hour or two before it happened. So some people got to hear it "LIVE" and many did not. I want to apologize to both my Readers and the Pod-casters for this screw-up. Hey, I'm extremely good looking but NOT perfect, ha!Anyways, here's the good news! The Podcast Interview was recorded and can now be either listened to or downloaded at their website. When visiting the site be sure to click on their "AUDIO CHAMBER" Link Button and look for the "ROBIN, BURT WARD" item listed for 1-17-12.Oh yeah, for their website, click HERE!
It's with an extremely sad and very heavy heart that I have to report the passing away of a Comic Book Legend, Jerry Robinson. He died at the age of 89. Almost everybody who loves Comic Books knows his many major contributions to the field of Comics. He created the greatest Villain in Pop Culture, the Joker. He also created Robin, the Boy Wonder. He was one of the last surviving Comic Book Artists from the "Golden Age".
I never met him in person but friends of mine who have all said he was a really great guy, a very nice person. I once had a conversation with him online & when I mentioned I did a little website called the BAT-BLOG he said, "Yeah, I've read it a few times, it's great! Gee, you really like Batman!". Wow! I can't begin to express what a trill that was!! My blog, or even the actual character, probably would not exist without this guy. He gave us all so much. Thank you Mr. Robinson for all you have done. We will never forget you.
