BATMAN & VILLAINS Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday

OK, it's the middle of the day & I am finally posting the "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday " backgrounds. I know, "I'm Late", ( sorry ) but really I was working on the Bat-Blog almost all night ( technical issues ) & slept in late. So, like my Grandmother used to say, "Better late, than never!" But, I think you'll enjoy these backgrounds so here we go! The 1st one was made by me using some graphics I found at the DC Comics website. The visuals were just too awesome to NOT make into a wallpaper, ha! Plus, besides Batman, there are some cool villains: Catwoman & The Penguin! The next wallpaper, I'm very proud to say, was sent in by a Bat-Blog Contributing Artist named Sean Hartter. Both the artwork & art direction are really great! He came up with this very clever idea of making a fake issue of PLAYBILL. These are small booklets you used to get when you went to the theater of a Broadway play. Ironically, it looks EXACTLY like an original issue...making it a wonderful parody. Now the other thing that's pretty funny is that, to give it a heightened sense of realism, he used the real names of famous actors & writers. The play is titled "BATMAN: The Joker's Five Way Revenge", which is a very classic comic book story actually written by Dennis O'Neil. Plus, the 2 real-life Famous Actors are John Barrymore & Lon Chaney. The picture is an actual photo of them but shopped with the Batman & Joker costumes...awesome! It also says that the play was produced by Robert Kane ( Bob Kane ). Which is funny because he's the guy who "created" Batman. I'm not surprised that Bill Finger didn't get a mention, ouch!

ORIGINAL BATMAN ART BACKGROUNDS - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

This week I thought I would post 2 totally unique Batman Wallpaper Backgrounds that I bet you will not find anywhere else! The 1st one is an example of a Pop Art Painting that I came across on the internet. After saving the picture I forgot to get the name of the artist so if anyone knows him please have him contact me. I seriously love this piece of work & it also kind of cracks me up! It shows Batman & Robin as Zombie Monsters...I mean, you can't get anymore awesome than that! The 2nd Batman Wallpaper was done by an artist friend named Sean Hartter. If you're a regular Bat-Blog Reader then you will probably recognize his style. In this one he did a portrait of The Dark Knight. The thing I like best about it is that it's kinda hard to tell if he's the "Modern Batman" or the "1940's Movie Serial" version. OK, obviously it's the newer version but the colors & grainyness kinda remind me of an older era. Plus, it was exclusively done just for this blog, so that's great! ( Thanks Sean ).

Sony Announces MR. FREEZE Villain For DC UNIVERSE ONLINE Video Game

Sony Entertainment just sent the following Press Release for their new DC UNIVERSE ONLINE Video Game ( with DC Comics ) & it's AWESOME news:

Victor Fries devoted his life to the hopeless task of curing his beloved wife, Nora from a fatal disease. He keeps her body frozen in suspended animation hoping that one day his experiments will cure her. One such experiment exposed him to a hail of super-coolants that altered his body chemistry. In order to survive, the brilliant cryogenicist must now be encased in his supercooled suit whenever the outside temperature is above sub-zero.

Although Batman offered to help Victor Fries, now known as Mr. Freeze, he refused because he was convinced that his own failures to save his wife are the fault of Gotham's Dark Knight. Armed with his Freeze Gun, Mr. Freeze partners with other criminals to steal the money he needs for his experiments and diamonds to power his freeze suit.

To celebrate I posted their Official MR. FREEZE DCU Wallpaper plus one that I created this morning ( the 2nd one ). Enjoy!

THE RIDDLER Wallpaper Backgrounds From BATMAN ARKHAM CITY Video Game

Warner Bros & Rocksteady just released some images of THE RIDDLER from the New BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game! Everyone remembers how the Riddler played a part in the last game, Arkham Asylum. There was a Bonus play where you searched around for "Riddler Clues". But the thing was, they never really showed him. You mostly just heard his voice. Well, in this sequel to the "Game of The Year", the Riddler plays a major role. These 2 Wallpaper backgrounds celebrate this ( Please share these with all your friends ).

BATMAN & BATGIRL Desktop Background Wallpapers

It's always "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" here at the Bat-Blog & this week I thought I would go totally RETRO 70's! The 1st Batman Wallpaper uses a hi-res graphic I found of vintage 1970's artwork by Neal Adams. This was a popular image used on a lot of toy packaging, like Corgi Toys Diecast Cars. Of course I am a huge Neal Adams fan so I had to use that! The next background is just as classic. It's Batgirl as drawn by Carmine Infantino. Another great comic book artist from the Silver Age. I think older readers will like these because they bring back nostalgic feelings & younger people will enjoy them just because the artwork is so good. Please let me know what YOU think about them. If you ever want a certain wallpaper design or a character that's kind of obscure just let me know & I'll see what I can do.

BATMAN , ROBIN, & NIGHTWING Desktop Wallpaper...and The JOKER Too!

Please remember, every Wednesday here at the Bat-Blog is "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"! This week I'm very proud to showcase a special background sent in to us from our friend Alexandre. He made this desktop wallpaper that features Robin, Nightwing, & Batman. Of course they're action figures, but the clever thing is that the whole picture looks like a Sears family portrait...IT'S AWESOME! The lighting, poses, & camera angle, everything, is done very well. I know a lot of people will love it, thank you Alexandre, good job. Now the next background is one that I made. It's not as creative but JOKER FANS should like it. It's the Clown Prince Of Crime as he appeared on the cover to the "Batman: The Man Who Laughs" Graphic Novel. It came out in 2009 & was done by Ed Brubaker and Doug Mahnke, a great book! Please remember that the Bat-Blog has hundreds of FREE Batman-Theme Wallpapers you can use. Just dig through our BAT-ARCHIVES to see them all. That is located on the very left-side of this page, near the middle.

BATMAN WALLPAPERS - PC Desktop & Apple iPod or iPhone

Please try to remember two things - 1. The Bat-Blog is your #1 Source for Great BATMAN Wallpaper Backgrounds. 2. We post brand-new exclusive wallpapers every Wednesday. We call it, "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"! OK, this week I thought I would use a Splash Page from a current Batman Comic Book. Actually, it's issue #697. The details are pretty cool & it features a ton of great characters like Batgirl, The Huntress, Red Robin, Man-Bat, Wildcat, & many more! The Artwork was Penciled by Tony S. Daniel, Inked by Sandu Florea, & the Coloring was done by Ian Hannin. Using the one graphic I made 3 versions: The 1st one is pretty straight-forward, it's the comic book page. The 2nd one is the exact same thing but toned-down ( way lighter ) so it won't mess with you being able to see your desktop icons ( some people like that ). And the 3rd one is formatted to fit the screen of an Apple iPod Touch or iPhone. Also, the other iPod Wallpaper is the future cover art to BATMAN # 700, which is starting to become very popular ( this was a request by a Bat-Blog Fan. Plus, we have this as a huge background in another post so be sure to check that out too ). whew! OK, I hope you like these & if not ( ha ha ) just remember that we have 100's more right here. Just click the button down below for some of the recent ones or dig through the Bat-Blog Archives to see everyone we ever made ( located at the left-side of this page, near the middle ).

Jake Castorena's BATMAN & CLAYFACE IN BATTLE Wallpaper Background!

Here's an extremely cool BATMAN & CLAYFACE Desktop Wallpaper Background that I am pretty proud of. Mainly because this artwork was sent in by a new friend to the Bat-Blog named Jake Castorena. He's a pretty talented Graphic Artist & actually works making storyboards for Advertising, Cartoons, & Movies. He did this drawing of the Caped Crusader fighting in a frantic battle with one of his deadliest foes, Clayface! Originally the artwork he sent was not a desktop background. But I thought it would look great as one, so here ya go! Now I know it seems kinda weird that everything is on the right-side but please give it a try. You'll see that all your desktop icons will be on the left...a nice effect. Thanks Jake for sending in the graphics ( he also sent in a photo of a Batman Tattoo we featured here awhile back ). Readers, if you wanna see some really cool artwork & videos of his stuff then please be sure to check out his personal website by clicking HERE!

OK KIDS, You know the drill, today is "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" & that's when we feature some brand-new ( Exclusive ) BATMAN-themed Desktop Backgrounds. The 1st one is sort of a PROMO for the Bat-Blog. It uses the original art from the 1960's Aurora Model Kit Box. Of course it's the BAT-CYCLE from the 1966 TV Show! The next one is some beautiful comic book art of BATMAN & ROBIN running in action! It's from the now classic "Batman: The Animated Series" cartoon.

Desktop Wallpaper: Tim Burton's 1989 BATMAN Movie!

Every Bat-Blog Reader knows that every single Wednesday is "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday", ha ha! So, this week I thought I would post 2 Batman Desktop Backgrounds that have a "1989 Batman Movie" theme. Basically, it's the same exact photo of Michael Keaton as Batman in the Batcave ( I always thought his Bat-Computer was groovy ) but one is a full-shot & the other is a close-up...sort of 2 variations. I kinda picked this photo for a few reasons: One, This is the movie that totally hooked me into becoming extremely serious about being a Batman Toy Collector. Two, visually it looks pretty cool and Three, some friends & I were talking the other night about how amazing it is that next year ( 2009 ) will be the 20th Anniversary of that now-classic movie. Wow! Twenty years ago! ( That makes me feel kinda old now, ha ha! ).

NEW BATMAN BACKGROUNDS - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

OK Boys and Girls! It's Wednesday, so you know what that means... Wacky Wallpapers!! This 1st one is totally amazing! It's a beautiful retro-style image of BATMAN created by Graphic Artist Chris Franchi. Actually, it's the "top half" of a poster he's working on. The image is an homage to the work of 2 major Batman Comic Book Artists from the past, Carmine Infantino and Dick Sprang. I love the use of the benday dots & the very slightly off-register color. It looks like an enlarged photo of a comics page... COOL! The next Wallpaper is a detail shot of an original Animation Cel from the BATMAN BEYOND Animated Series. I've always loved this TV show & hope others will like this too. ( A Special Thanks goes out to Chris Franchi for sharing his artwork, it's great! )

BATMAN BACKGROUND WALLPAPERS Original Comic Book Art

This morning I thought I would post 2 Batman Desktops I recently made using original comic book artwork I found on the internet. The 1st one is from the Golden Age of comics. This illustration was done by Sheldon Moldoff. I really love his style & the simplicity of his lines, great stuff! The next wallpaper is a graphic by a more modern day artist named Dustin Nguyen. You might recognize his style from the recent issues of Detective Comics. This picture is wonderful because it's sort of cartoon-like ( which is not his regular style ) & because it features a ton of Batman Villains: The Joker, Harley Quinn, Bane, The Penguin, Killer Croc, Scarface, Hush, Two-Face, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Man-Bat, Clayface, & many more!

Free BATMAN Desktop Backgrounds "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"

The Bat-Blog is famous for it's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" event that happens, you guessed it, every Wednesday! Ha Ha, this week I thought I would try to mix it up a little bit & have 3 wallpapers ( we usually post 2 ) because I'm all crazy like that. Plus, I wanted to mix it up another way & have them all be radically different...or as different as possible but still keep them all Batman-related, whew! So, HERE...WE...GO! The 1st one uses an amazing piece of "Heath Ledger The Dark Knight Joker" artwork that was submitted by a reader named DC Miller. His work is incredible & I knew it had to be presented as a wallpaper. In order to place the image on the right-hand side I had to flip it but it looks great! ( Thanks DC for sending the art ). The 2nd one is a photo of Adam West from the cover of the March 11th, 1966 Issue of LIFE Magazine. This image is totally iconic...a masterpiece! The last one uses what is probably the most recent version of Batman & that's the character from the new BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD cartoon. Please be sure to let me know which one you like the best plus please send a link to all your friends or talk about it on some message board ( we're always looking for new traffic ).
