The BAT-BLOG Turns a New DARK KNIGHT Photo Into Shameless Promotion!

Here's a new picture from THE DARK KNIGHT Batman Movie showing Alfred ( Micheal Caine ) in the new Bat-Cave explaining to Bruce Wayne / Batman ( Christian Bale ) what he thinks about this blog, ha ha ha! Yes, shame on me.

New Batman & Joker Photos From THE DARK KNIGHT Movie

Wow! When I opened my e-mail this morning I was shocked by this awesome set of photos! Thank you Dave, thank you very much, these are great!!! The 1st one shows a nice example of what the Bat-Cave is gonna look like. I like the way the Bat-Costume is displayed behind Christian Bale ( Bruce Wayne ). Plus, it's nice to see Micheal Caine as Alfred again, indeed. The 2nd pic is a GREAT photo of Heath Ledger as The Joker. One of the best so far! The 3rd photograph shows the BAT-POD Bat-Bike in action...love it! The last of the pix features Batman resting on a balcony in Gotham City. It really shows the new Bat-Costume in a lot of sharp detail...nice!! Thanks again Dave, these are seriously cool!!

New TRIO DC SUPER FRIENDS Building Block Toys by Fisher Price ( Batman's Batcave and Joker-Bot )

If you have small children who love BATMAN then you're gonna want to keep an eye out for these brand-new toys by Fisher Price. They're called TRIO DC SUPER FRIENDS & they're basically a building block game with small figures. The 1st two out of the gate will be THE BATMAN BATCAVE Play Set & The JOKER-BOT!! These are totally awesome! As you can see by the sample photos, they can be built in many different ways. I'm really loving these because they not only extend their already existing IMAGINEXT Action Figure toy line, but they also add a lot of game play & use of imagination...very clever. The BATCAVE has an approx. retail price of $35.00 & The JOKER-BOT is $18.00. These should be in store very soon if they are not already.

Secrets of the Batcave - Batman Wallpaper Background

Here's a BATMAN Desktop Background Wallpaper I made the other night using vintage comic book graphics. It's titled "Secrets of the Batcave" and was drawn by artist Frank Springer. The artwork was reprinted in Batman Treasury Comics - Collectors Edition C37 ( © 1975 ) but it appeared first in Batman #203 ( © 1968 ). Basically, it's a complete cut-away blueprint layout of the Bat-Cave. I totally remember this art as a little kid & loved it ( still do ). The funny thing, I used to worry about what would happen if the Joker got a hold of this information, ha ha!

Desktop Wallpaper Backgrounds: Retro 70's Batman & The Dark Knight's Christian Bale w/ Bat-Suit

Tonight I started to panic because I just realized that it's Wednesday & I didn't post 2 brand-new FREE Batman Desktop Wallpapers, oh my god! Ha Ha, OK, Here's two that I know you'll like. The 1st one uses some cool retro-graphics that were once on the back of one of those Treasury Comics in the 1970's, a great image. The 2nd one is of the actor Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne. He's in the new Bat-Cave that will be featured in The Dark Knight / Batman movie. You also get a glimpse of the new Bat-Suit, sweet.

Video: HOW TO FIND THE ORIGINAL 1966 BATMAN TV SHOW BAT-CAVE!

Here's a very fun video that tells you how to get to the original Bat-Cave location in California. It was done by a good friend of mine named Scott. I was kind of impressed with how well done it was. Anyway we all know the famous scene in the 1966 Batman TV Show when the Batmobile roars out of the Bat-Cave ( Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed...). Well, this cave he takes you to is the exact location they filmed that classic piece of bat-history! It's called the Bronson Cave & is located in Hollywood, CA. For anyone who lives in California, or on vacation, I highly recommend visiting this landmark, it's kinda neat! Scott's directions are very clear & precise. So, go check out the BAT-CAVE!! Also, if any readers here go visit please send us some photos or share your story...thanks.

Video: BATPOLES TO BATCAVE 3DSMAX TEST 3-D CGI ANIMATION

Here's a short video from a friend who is just getting into 3-D animation. As an artist he's totally inspired by the 1966 Batman TV Series & did this as a test. Actually it's extremely cool & you go from the Bat-Poles to the Bat-Cave! Also, the "George Barris Batmobile" looks pretty awesome! It's a short test but I think he did a pretty good job. There's really a lot of details to it, especially the Batcave interior. Please leave a comment down below letting him know what you feel about it. I think he would get a kick out of that, thanks.

THE DARK KNIGHT: Batman's Arsenal & Weapon

In one of the movie trailers for The Dark Knight you can see "Batman's Closet" where he stores the Bat-Suit & all of his weapons. It rises out of the floor of Bruce Wayne's Bat Cave ( very cool ) & opens up. The weapons storage is inside the doors & while most of the items are kind of recognizable there was one item, at the top, that was freaking everybody out. A lot of people thought it was a rifle or other deadly weapon ( that Batman would NEVER use ) but in fact it's a High-Powered Grapple Gun Rifle, for long distances. I think it also shoots explosive devices to take out doors & windows. Anyways, here's some pics to enjoy. ( Click on the small photo up above for a larger, more detailed, version ).
