DC Direct - DETECTIVE COMICS CLASSICS: Batman Action Figures Box Set

I usually don't post new Batman Toy information this early ( these won't be out until the middle of next year ) but when I saw these "new" Batman Action Figures I thought they were really great so here they are! I love the "Silver Age" look of them. It looks like DC Direct is going to re-release a set of 5 figures that they have done before, but now they have a slightly different paint job, & will also come with a special graphic novel book of collected stories. Here's what DC Direct actually says about them:

Five of Gotham City's most colorful figures are collected in this special action figure box set, in both 3D and comics form! A 64-page original collection of classic stories featuring Batman, Robin, Batgirl, The Riddler and Bat-Mite is packaged along with an action figure of each character. The stories included in the special DETECTIVE COMICS CLASSICS book are "The Riddler's Prison-Puzzle Problem!" from DETECTIVE COMICS #377, "Tall, Dark, Handsome – and Missing!" from DETECTIVE COMICS #384, "Hunt for the Helpless Hostage!" from DETECTIVE COMICS #385, "The Invader from Hell!" from BATMAN FAMILY #1, and "Bat-Mite" from WHO'S WHO: THE DEFINITE DIRECTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE #2.

Batman BAT-MITE Pop Art Painting by Javier Hernandez

BAT-MITE! OK, I just saw this painting the other night & I have to sort of show it off...mainly because it's done by done by my good buddy Javier Hernandez and it's pretty cool. He did it as a donation for the Shel Dorf Artist Fund. Shel Dorf recently died & he was responsible for creating the San Diego Comic Con some 40 years ago. Now, you might have heard of Javier before. He does an indy comic book called "El Muerto", it's cool. Check out his website, right HERE!

Free JOKER PLAYING CARD & 50's BAT-MITE Desktop Wallpapers: Made By Logan!

Every Wednesday here at the Bat-Blog it's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" & for the last few years I have been creating them all by myself. Well, a new dynamic, that I really love, is that for a few months now a lot of Bat-Blog Readers are contributing them. Here's an example: Our friend "Logan" has created BOTH of these wonderful wallpapers for you to use to decorate your computer's desktop or as a background in a MySpace Layout. The 1st one is a variation on the famous "Joker Playing Card". It's got the phrase, "Here's My Card", which we all know now as a famous line spoken by Heath Ledger's Joker in the new Dark Knight movie trailer. The 2nd one kinda through me off guard a little bit ( Meaning, I was totally surprised )...it's BAT-MITE! As a true Batman Fan I really love this wacky character. I know he's kinda silly but he's from the crazy 1950's era & has a lot of nostalgic appeal. Plus, the graphic is pretty cool! Please leave a comment down below & let Logan know which one you like the best. Also, if you have some graphics ( or a suggestion ) for wallpaper then please shoot us an e-mail. Our "e-mail button" is on the top right-hand side of this page. One last thing, Thank You Logan for sending us these backgrounds...GOOD JOB!

BAT-MITE DESKTOP WALLPAPERS: From Batman: The Brave and The Bold Cartoon!

Remember, every Wednesday here at the Bat-Blog is "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday™" & this week I thought I would use a few images of BAT-MITE from the soon to be released Batman: The Brave and The Bold animated TV series. YES! Bat-Mite is returning from the 5th Dimension to create total chaos in Gotham City! The cool thing, is that WB hired the actor Paul Reubens ( Pee Wee Herman ) for the voice of Bat-Mite. This episode, titled "LEGENDS OF THE DARK MITE", premieres this Friday, May 22nd, 2009.Another thing that's kinda neat is that there will be a dream sequence where Bat-Mite has to fight Catwoman, Penguin, The Joker, Riddler, Zebra-Man, Cat-Man, Killer Moth, & many other vintage classic bat-villains...and the retro-style artwork looks really awesome!

Bat-Blog's Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday ( Bat-Mite, Batman, & Catwoman )

OK, this morning I got NO sleep last night at all. So, I'm really tired but I thought since I was up & it is "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" that I would post a few Desktop Backgrounds. I plan on trying to sleep a little bit & then I'll do the posts that I had planned for this morning. So, please come back later today to see those. Now the great thing about these Batman Wallpapers is that they were both sent in by 2 Bat-Blog Readers who also happen to be very creative artistic-type people! The 1st one was done by Sean Hartter & it totally cracks me up, ha ha! It's a cool concept, sort of a mash-up between Bat-Mite & the Christian Bale Batman from the Batman Begins movie...very funny! The artwork is pretty cool too. The 2nd one was submitted by a new friend named Ronnie who didn't exactly do the actual artwork but did do the coloring & added a special background to it. I really like his choice of colors here & it looks really awesome! Now, like I said, I'm totally exhausted & plan to take a nap but please return later for some more content...you'll be glad you did! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I wanna say thanks also to Sean & Ronnie for sending these in, they're really great & I appreciate that!

Special BATMAN and BAT-MITE Children's Art Drawing!

Here's a recently submitted photo from a loyal Bat-Blog Reader named Hans ( who lives in The Netherlands ). It's a beautiful piece of art that was drawn by his daughter while he was in the hospital. It shows 2 of his favorite characters, Batman & Bat-Mite! I always love art done by children. She's a sweet kid to have drawn this, it's wonderful. Hans, please tell Dana she did a really great job on it. If you haven't already, you should frame this for the wall, it's worthy! Thanks for sending us this pic & sharing your story, that's cool.
