Video: Exclusive SUPERMAN/BATMAN: PUBLIC ENEMIES Metallo Fight Scene Movie Clip

In this exclusive "Superman / Batman: Public Enemies" MTV movie trailer clip we get to see the evil Super-Villain Metallo beat-up on the Man of Steel himself, Superman! OK, There's NO Batman in this clip, but it's still nice to see that the animation quality looks pretty good. Also, be sure to crank-up your speakers because the sound effects are kinda cool. I can't wait till this new DC Universe Movie comes out tomorrow on Sept 29th...enjoy!

ART: Two BATMAN Russian Nesting Doll Sets with a Batman Theme

If you have been reading the Bat-Blog for awhile then you know I totally love ART & I think that these BATMAN RUSSIAN NESTING DOLLS fit that category to a tee! Both these sets belong to our friend known as "The BATFAN" & he was kind enough to send these wonderful photos ( Please be sure to click on them for larger, more detailed, versions ). The 1st Set sort of celebrates the many different Batman Movie characters. Besides Michael Keaton, there is: Catwoman ( Michelle Pfeiffer ), The Penguin ( Danny Devito ), & The 1989 Joker ( Jack Nicholson ). Wow! The artist made all of these characters look exactly like the actual people...that's cool! The next photo is a Set of Nesting Dolls with a BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES theme. I have always loved that cartoon & think the art direction on it is great. So, seeing these is just a true delight for any Batman Fan! The characters depicted here are Batman, Robin, Two-Face, The Penguin, Bane, & Gotham City. Yes, I have always considered "Gotham City" a character. It plays an important role in many Batman stories. I wanna thank The BATFAN for sharing these with us. It's always fun to see cool artwork that is inspired by our favorite Caped Crusader. If any other readers have some artwork ( painting, drawing, sculpture, anything creative ) then please send us some pics today!

Batman & Joker Halloween Costume Ideas

Lately I have been sort of obsessed with "Vintage Halloween Photos" featuring kids or adults dressed-up as their favorite Batman characters. I don't know, since the holiday is coming up I thought it would be an interesting idea. Anyway, I have been asking readers to send in their photos & the response has been wonderful! I have a lot of them so far but want even more so if you have some cool pics like this then please send them in. Now, to talk about these 2 photos. The 1st one is a friend named John. I met him at MySpace & he's a pretty cool guy. Last year he dressed-up as the Joker ( The Dark Knight movie version ) for Halloween with this awesome costume he made hunting through Thrift Stores. His Joker make-up & green hair look great too. The next photo, with Batman, is our friend Christopher. I kinda-sorta know him over at Facebook. He was kind enough to send this very cool photo of him dressed in his "1989 Batman Movie" costume. He says he wears it sometimes to charity events to help raise money for certain causes. Wow, that's really really awesome! I love when people do that. When people think about others in need instead of their own BS then it's a big step towards making the world a better place. Thanks to both John & Chris for sharing these 2 "Joker & Batman" Halloween Costume photos...you both ROCK!

ART: Custom My Little Pony BATMAN and THE JOKER Figures!

OK, Here at the Bat-Blog we post some really goofy stuff sometimes...just for fun! So that's what this is. I recently discovered a girl named "Anime Amy" who is totally into making Custom Toys. She gets old MY LITTLE PONY figures & customizes them into different superhero comic book characters. Here are 2 examples where she made a Batman & Joker figure from THE DARK KNIGHT movie. The details are pretty good. I think she sells these on eBay sometimes so you might check there if you're interesting in buying one. Or, be sure to check out her website. The URL is embedded on both photos.

Vintage 1970's SEA WORLD & THE SUPER FRIENDS Amusement Park Theme Show

In response to a recent post here at the Bat-Blog, where we had a video of this subject, we got this Vintage Comic Book Advertisement. ( You can see the video by clicking HERE! ) I remember this ad! It was always on the backs of comic books in the1980's. It advertised a "DC Superhero" Water-Ski Theme Show they had at SEA WORLD. I always lived way too far away from these things to go & was always bummed-out by the distance, ha ha! But, other than remembering a serious childhood trauma, I do wanna sincerely say Thank you for sending it in, it's really a cool piece of Bat-History, from the "comic book character + Amusement Park" angle. I know lots of people will remember it fondly. Maybe they went. If you're a Bat-Blog Reader who has some photos or stories like this then please share them.

THE RIDDLER - Batman Themed Desktop Background Wallpapers!

OK, Here at the Bat-Blog, every Wednesday, we post 2 FREE Brand-New Batman-Themed Desktop Backgrounds. We call it "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"! Last week I asked readers to send in some suggestions for next week & right away a reader asked for some wallpapers of THE RIDDLER! Now he was not specific about which version so I kind of went with 2 that I thought would be popular. Even though, in hindsight, I should have made one of the "Animated Series" versions. But anyway, I hunted down some images & made 2 that I hope are pretty good. One uses Modern "Original Comic Book Artwork" & the other is a sharp Hi-Res Photo of a Brand-New RIDDLER Action Figure, in the Vintage Silver-Age Style. Well, I thought these were pretty cool & then could not wait until next Wednesday ( it's 3 days away ) so I decided to post them today, ha ha!

High School Students Create Some Amazing Batman-Themed Costumes!

Our friend Lauren sent us a new photo showing some of her friends from High School who all got together & dressed-up as Batman characters. But I don't think it was anything for Halloween. She said something about how they did it for a Dark Knight themed photo album. Well, Lauren, your new mission is to get a hold of THAT photo album!! But all kidding aside these costumes are really totally super-great, every single one of them!! The character list is large & includes: The Riddler, The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, & of course the Dynamic Duo, Batman and Robin! My 2 top favorite costumes have to be the Penguin & Poison Ivy. You just don't see those 2 characters a lot. Plus, "Penguin accessories" are hard to find. Like, where do you buy a Monocle, Top Hat, & Cigarette Holder nowadays? Ha Ha! Thank you Lauren for sharing this wonderful photo & please be sure to tell all your friends what a great job they did at putting these Batman-themed costumes together...WOW!
