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.
This is just a quick post to share a very cool photo that was taken at the recent BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game Launch at the Toys-R-Us Store in Times Square, NYC. It shows Jim Lee ( DC Comics ), Some Guy Who Worked on the Game ( Rocksteady ), Batman ( Life-Size Statue ), and Kevin Conroy ( Batman Voice Actor ). That special statue, probably made just for the event, is extremely cool. That thing would look awesome in my Kitchen or Bathroom!
Just a quick post to remind everybody about a couple of "Store Exclusives" that are pretty cool. If you buy the BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game at Toys-R-Us then you get a free "Batman Action Figure with 1970's Bat-Suit". The game also comes with the "70's Batman Skin" Download. 
Next, If you're buying a Blu-Ray Copy of the BATMAN: YEAR ONE Animated Movie DVD then Best Buy is giving away a CATWOMAN Figurine.
This post is just a friendly reminder that the TOYS-R-US in Times Square, New York City, will release the BATMAN ARKHAM CITY Video Game one day early on October 17th, 2011! Plus, you can get it autographed by Jim Lee ( DC Comics Artist ) and Kevin Conroy ( BATMAN Voice Actor ). Check out the photo of the announcement poster for more details ( Click on it for a larger version ), or click HERE!
If you're lucky enough to live New York then this event is for you! Yes, 500 copies of BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game will be available a day early at THE TIMES SQUARE Toys-R-Us location on Monday, October 17th ( that's about 5 days from now ). The first 100 customers who pre-purchase a copy of the game through the store's "Personal Shopping Department" ( starting now, don't wait ), will receive a coupon reserving their copy, and can have their game autographed by Jim Lee ( DC Comics ), Kevin Conroy ( Voice Actor of Batman ) and Sefton Hill ( Rocksteady Studios ) at the event. The other 400 copies will be available for purchase at the event, which officially starts at 4:00 pm, but who knows when people start lining up? The event will include photo ops with actors dressed up as Batman and Catwoman, and game demos.
