Just the other day he spotted this HUGE Advertising Display for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie on the side of a Subway Car. Oh Man, that is so cool!! The graphics feature both Batman and Bane. Plus, I think it's kinda cool to see "foreign language" used with it as well. ( Thanks Marcio, great pics! )

This is the Vintage TV Commercial for the BATMAN RETURNS ( 1992 Movie ) Tiger Handheld LCD Video Game. I actually have a few of these electronic toys in my personal collection. They're so cheesy... but that's what makes them cool!

VIDEO - Vintage 1966 BATMAN CARTOON KIT COLORFORMS TV Toy Commercial

I totally love these old Vintage TV Toy Commercials! In fact, I used to collect them on VHS many years ago. I don't know, they're great reference material and a lot of fun to watch, especially if they were ads that aired during your childhood. They really bring back a lot of fond memories. Here's a great one for the 1966 BATMAN CARTOON KIT COLORFORMS Play Set!!

Video - TV Commercial BATMAN LIVE World Arena Tour

Right now, in the UK, this "BATMAN LIVE - World Arena Tour" TV Commercial is hitting the airwaves ( In England, they call it an "Advert "). The ad features some very cool special effects where "time is frozen & shown in 3D". Plus, we also get to see the characters costumes really well. Oh man, I can't wait till this show hits the US!

Video - BATMAN IN SRILANKA - New 2011 TV Commercial

Here's a really great find on YouTube. Here's a funny TV Commercial Video advertising Suzuki SWIFT Cars in Srilanka. Yes, Batman in Srilanka!

VIDEO - ADAM WEST Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes Cereal TV Commercial

Before he became a TV-superstar as Batman, Adam West paid his rent by appearing in this TV commercial for Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes Cereal. It's funny how young Adam West looks in this clip & it's also kinda cool to see the old vintage Cereal Box with the early version of Tony The Tiger... "Thhheeeyyy'rreee GREAT!"

Video - Vintage Corgi Action Toys TV Commercial - Batmobile and Bat-Copter

Here is a cool vintage Corgi Action Toys TV commercial from 1981 from Australia. It features popular heroes like Batman, Buck Rodgers and James Bond. It shows the Batmobile on the verge of falling off a skyscraper ( How did that car get up there? ). But don't worry, it's saved by the Bat-Copter!

Vintage BATMAN AND ROBIN Movie Food Products

Here are 2 print advertisements that were printed on the back cover of a few comic books back in the day. They advertised a few food products that tied into the latest Batman movie, of the time, 1997's BATMAN AND ROBIN. I remember when these came out & even though I was NOT a big fan of the film, I still bought these for their boxes. I have always loved wacky food packaging like this. In hindsight I'm glad I did. This stuff is sort of strange now & kinda hard to find. In the future they should be pretty rare. The 1st ad is for the Batman & Robin Movie Kellogg's Pop-Tarts. The weird thing is that it only shows 3 boxes but there were actually 4. I think the one they didn't show was "Batgirl". Next, we see an old ad for MR. FREEZE Freezer Bars. The funny thing is that it was the actual name of the product even before the movie promotion. Seriously, see the Snowman? That's "Mr Freeze", ha! I guess that was the perfect tie-in. The graphics on this large box were actually pretty cool.

Video - Vintage 1989 BATMAN VHS Movie TV Commercial Ad

This is just great! I don't remember this ad specifically, but it's still nostalgic. Plus, you got a free pin! It's funny that VHS tape movies cost $20 back then & are now often $1 or less used.

BATMAN LIVE TOUR Seeking Employees in the UK

Here's a recent newspaper advertisement run by a company called "Circus Space". They work with the BATMAN LIVE TOUR that will be starting in England & they need both Aerialists & Acrobats for their show. If you have these skills & live in the UK, then this is THE job for you! For details just check out the ad.

1992 BATMAN RETURNS Movie - Super Nintendo NES Video Game

The other day I came across this advertisement from an old comic book. It's for the 1992 BATMAN RETURNS MOVIE Video Game for the Super Nintendo System. I thought it was a neat piece of bat-history & worthy of posting. The artwork is pretty cool & I like that it features the Batmobile Car, Catwoman, & The Penguin ( click on it for a larger version ). I know it will bring back a lot of fond memories for some readers who grew-up playing this game. So, while doing this post, I thought it would be a good idea to find a video of the actual game play. That way people could relive their glory days & also people who have never seen this game in action would get a good idea what it actually looked like back then. Oh man, the graphics are so extremely cheesy! If you have played the recent BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM game then you know just how far video game graphics have advanced...it's crazy! Please watch the video & then comment about some of your stories, thanks.

Strange BATMAN Advertising From Argentina!

Here's a really weird piece of Batman history I came across the other day. It's a picture of an advertisement that might have appeared in a vintage comic book. I'm pretty sure that it is from Argentina. It features Batman, Robin, & Jim Gordon. It looks like they are trying to sell Strawberry Yogurt??? It's made to look like a comic book page & it's titled "El Acertijo", which means, "The Riddler". But, the Riddler character is NOT in the ad...yes, very strange. If anybody can read this, or knows about its origin, then please let us know.

Video - THE PRICE IS RIGHT - Rich Fields and Adam West Gone Wild

Here's the new TV Commercial featuring Adam West ( 1966 Batman ) & Rich Fields ( The Price is Right ). It's a promo for the new PRICE IS RIGHT Apple iPhone App Game. The cool thing is that we get to see the 1966 Batmobile Car in all it's glory! Plus, the whole thing is pretty funny because they do it in a very corny deadpan kinda way...enjoy!
