Ernest's Custom BATMAN Bat-Signal TRUCK LIGHTS!

OK, you might remember some photos the other day of Ernest's Batman Toy Collection. He has some really great stuff but 1 item made me sort of curious & I asked him about those. They were these "Custom Bat-Signal Light Covers". I wondered what they actually look like ON his truck & he was generous enough to take the time to shoot these very cool pics! Thanks Ernest. These Batman Light Covers are a very clever idea! I mean, some Car Accessory Company should totally make these! They look pretty cool during the day but when they are lit-up at night they're really great! The bat-shapes hold-up very well & I have to wonder if they project a bat-signal on to another surface, that's funny! I know the "night time" photo must have been hard to get but it turned out great, thanks! Readers, he even shot some pics of the trucks interior where he has Batman Floor Mats, Batman Steering Wheel Cover, & a Bat-Symbol Keychain hanging from his rear-view mirror. These are all items you can find at your local Auto Parts Stores ( I have some floor mats that are sort of like these, just a little different. I like the ones that Ernest has a lot better! ).

Aaron's BATMAN AND JOKER TATTOO ART Photos

Hey Boys & Girls, it's time again for another awesome example of Batman Tattoo Art! This photo was submitted by our good friend Aaron. It shows an all-around design that features Batman, Joker, & the Bat-Signal in the Sky of Gotham City...it's beautiful! The Joker is the "Heath Ledger" version from The Dark Knight movie. I really like the colors in this thing, very vivid. Plus, the Bat-Signal sort of has a translucent effect that makes it look less solid & more like "light"...nice! Thanks Aaron for sharing this wonderful Bat-Tat. I know that everyone is going to really love it!

REMEMBER:


If any other Bat-Blog Fans get any ink done, then please send a photo!

Funny BATMAN HUMOR Comic Strips from REALITY CHECK

Video: Halloween BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT Movie Theme Display 2009

Look at how I decorated for Halloween this year! The neighborhood kids really loved it. No, it's not mine, just kidding, ha ha! This is the work of an extremely creative guy named Jerjod. It took him a whole year to construct all this stuff for his 2009 Halloween Batman Display. In the driveway is a Tumbler Batmobile Replica Car he made. He also made a Life-Size Mechanical Manikin of Batman in costume that moved around. There were Battery Controlled "Wing-Flapping Bats" that hung from the trees & he even had a HUGE Bat-Symbol light shining on his house that took up the entire garage-area section!! WOW! Extremely impressive!! If you wanna learn how he built all this stuff, & try to do it yourself, then be sure to visit the INSTRUCTABLES website by clicking HERE!

Over at the THINGIVERSE website an inventor gadget-guy named "Wizard23" has created a pretty cool Batman BAT-LAMP! It's small & compact. Plus, it shoots a Bat-Signal on the wall.

In fact, while you're at it, please make me one too because I am not that talented & if I made one it would probably not work, ha ha! For more detailed plans, click HERE!

Jennifer's Cool CUSTOM BATMOBILE Car!

Awhile back I got a message from a Bat-Blog Fan named Jennifer and she was pretty excited about sharing some photos of her brand-new Custom Batmobile! The problem was that it was snowing really bad where she lived & she had to wait to take some pics. Well, the photos are here & it was worth the wait! With a little help from her Dad, they totally pimped her ride into a beautiful Batman Car! She now has large Bat-Logo Symbols on her Hood, Both Doors, & Back Window. She even has a Batman Steering Wheel Cover & Floor Mats... Now, how cool is that?!! I wanna thank Jennifer for sharing these cool pics. If any other Bat-Blog Readers out there have some fun stuff to share then please do.

THE DARK KNIGHT New Batman Movie Merchandise

While surfing the internet recently I came across a new company that is kind of progressive & making a few very interesting pieces of Batman-Memorabilia. Actually, they are electronic products that are a tie-in to the DARK KNIGHT movie. The first, & most interesting, item is a Batman AM/FM Clock Radio. It has a projector on the side that you can adjust at different angles & it shoots a "Batman Logo" Bat-Signal on the ceiling or wall. The front, with the neat knobs, has an almost art deco 1930's design but the shape of the case & the digital numbers kinda looks 1970's...a weird hybrid of design but very cool! The next item is a stylish Batman Ghetto Blaster Radio. It looks like it also plays CDs, that's nice. The last item is a Batman Clip-On Digital Camera. There are 2 different styles. One with the TDK Bat-Logo ( shown here ) & another with the graphic of Batman ( not shown ). These electronic products are made by a company called Digital Blue. If you're interesting in all the specs for these devices I have included a link button down below:

Batman's 1966 Batmobile Decorates Texas Restaurant!

Yesterday we received an e-mail from a loyal Bat-Blog Reader named Dave who wrote, "I went to a new restaurant last Friday. It's called YESTERDAY'S in Bridgeport, Texas, and is basically full of nostalgia. Attached, you'll find a picture that really peaked my interest. There's a sign that says it is original and authentic from 1966, but DO NOT TOUCH. Oh yeah, and the food was great also!" Thanks Dave for both the information & the photo. I checked out the URL you sent & it looks like a really cool place. The 1966 Batmobile Vending Machine Ride is always great to see. I really love those & want one badly! The other memorabilia they have is cool too. ( Click the photo for a larger version ). There's a '66 Life Magazine on the wall with the famous Adam West cover, some Batman Movie Posters ( not sure if those are real ), 2 Batman Pennants, some misc photos, a Red Bat-Phone ( that's funny ), & they even painted a "Bat-Signal Art Mural" on the wall....awesome! I love "Mom & Pop diner-type" places like this. They're usually way better than the corporate chains. I do go to Texas every now & then so next time, if I'm near there, I'm gonna have to make a visit to Yesterday's! ( Thanks Again Dave ). If any readers live near here & are interested please check it out, looks fun. Here's a link button for more info:

THE DARK KNIGHT PROMO: Hershey's Candy Bar REESE'S Peanut Butter Cup "FIND THE BAT SIGNAL and WIN" Contest!

Hershey's Chocolate Company is doing a major promotional tie-in with The Dark Knight Batman Movie where they are having a contest called "FIND THE BAT SIGNAL AND WIN". As reported here at the Bat-Blog they will be making a special "Dark Knight Batman Candy Bar" that is gonna be the Reese's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups ( Check the Bat-Archives ). There will be posters, counter racks, display stands, all kinds of promo material with Batman all over it. I think the contest is giving away a special motorcycle, not exactly sure yet. They're being kinda secret about it right now but you can visit the Official Hershey's website by clicking the REESE'S BUTTON down below. If for some reason their website doesn't work it's because they're working on it. Come back & try again later. Oh yeah, the news about the contest will appear there on May 15th, 2008.

THE DARK KNIGHT Batman Movie BURGER KING Fast Food Toys in Germany!

This is just a quick post of an unusual photo I came across on the web the other night. It shows a concrete marker that is outside of a military building in New Orleans, LA. Apparently they really like Batman & use him as their mascot...that's AWESOME!! ( Click on the above photo for a larger version, it's nice! ).

Dallas' Custom BATMAN - THE DARK KNIGHT Kotobukia Bat-Signal Lamp

Here's a couple of craft project photos from our buddy named Dallas. He created this Custom Light-Up Bat-Signal by converting a Kotobukia Statue of Batman perched on top of the Bat-Signal. Of course, it's the version from "THE DARK KNIGHT" movie. Basically he took the Bat-Signal piece & retrofit a light inside it. He also added a different lens cover ( I think ) so that light would shine through it. overall, Dallas did an amazing job on this new piece because it now looks extremely cool! OK, I have seen a few other people do this & it makes me wonder, "Why didn't Kotobukia do this in the 1st place? I mean, it seems so obvious". I'm sure it had something to do with production cost. Plus, they make art statues & they're NOT in the lamp business. Anyways, I didn't mean to loose track here. Plus, I also wanna thank Dallas for sharing his photos. If any other Bat-Blog Readers have any Bat-Craft Projects going on then please let us know. We always love to hear from creative people.

It features the proud Batman Bat-Signal shining over Gotham City! That is so extremely magnificent! Now, if I got married, I would hope that my wife is this cool, ha ha!
