THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - THE BAT VEHICLE Laser-Etched Glass Cube

OK, This is one of those glass cubes you usually see at Truck Stops and Flea Markets where it's a glass cube with some mysterious 3D artwork that is inside. It always amazes me, "How do they do that?" Apparently they use lasers... it's a total mystery but a very cool effect. Anyway, around December, 2012, DC Direct will be releasing a special one that features "THE BAT", Batman's Flying Vehicle from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie. It's gonna measure about 4" high x 4" wide x 4" deep and will have a retail price of $29.95.

VIDEO - Batman's 1966 Batcopter and Batmobile Team-Up!

OK, anyone who has been following the BAT-BLOG for awhile knows that we have an excellent group of friends in New Jersey who are always contributing some very cool Batman-related stories. Here's a very good example:



Recently they all got together and created this Mini BATMAN TRIBUTE Movie that shares the adventure they had at the 2012 New Jersey State Fair. While there, they had the opportunity to film the Original 1966 Bat-Copter ( flown by Capt. Gene Nock ) and a beautiful 1966 Batman TV Show Batmobile Replica Car together!! This stuff is pretty cool to see so please check it out. Also, if you're a Facebook Member, then PLEASE share it so others can enjoy it too, thanks!

HEY! BATMAN is Not Soft, Warm, and Cuddly!

Here's a quick post to share this fun photo a friend of ours sent in to us. His name is Kevin and, recently, he had a birthday and one of his gifts happened to be a nice BATMAN THROW Blanket with cool graphics from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie Poster. Now, that's all serious stuff but the funny thing is the ad copy on the packaging. It says, "Soft, Warm, and Cuddly!". Now this doesn't seem like the right words to describe BATMAN, I'm pretty sure they're talking about the blanket! Ha Ha! ( Thanks for sharing Kevin and Happy Birthday Dude! )

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES at The Movie Drive-In!!

"Hey, Let's All Go To The Lobby, Let's All Go To The Lobby..."

 These photos are great for two reasons: 1. The Costumes look great! We have Batman, Catwoman, and Harley Quinn right here!! 2. They were shot at a Vintage-Style Movie Drive-In! I totally love those places, "Hey Mom, we're sitting IN the car AND watching a movie!". The audio was always kinda crappy but just the joy of going with a bunch of friends and having your own space was always good times. Plus, you ALWAYS had to go hit the concession stand for munchies, ha! Very cool!

 Whoops, did I mention that Batman here is our friend William? Yes, This is him & his Wife ( I think, maybe? ), with another friend, and they all went in costume to go see THE DARK KNIGHT RISES at their local drive-in. Oh man, I bet if kids were there they went totally insane, ha! ( Thanks William for sharing your wonderful photos )
