BATMAN and THE HUNTRESS - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

Just in the nick of time I realized that today is Wednesday and you know what that means, Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!! OK, if you will please indulge me I thought I would post a few that kind of promote this website, BAT-BLOG.COM.

The first one features artwork, a new TV promo shot, from the BEWARE THE BATMAN animated series that will come out later. It's a very cool graphic & I can't wait till this things hits the air. 

Next, is a Wallpaper made from a photo of the next DC Comics Statue from everybody's favorite Comic Book Statue & Toy Company, Kotobukiya of Japan. It's THE HUNTRESS!!

New DC Comics BATMAN STATUE - THE HUNTRESS BISHOUJO STATUE by KOTOBUKIYA

A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese Import!  Coming up next in the DC Comics Bishoujo Collection is the fiercely independent HUNTRESS!  This new statue is based on an original illustration by famed Japanese Artist Shunya Yamashita ( Shown down below ). She measures about 9 ½ inches tall (1/7 scale) on an exclusive base with a decorative griffin under her foot. This HUNTRESS was sculpted by Masahiro Takashi (GILL GILL).  Suggested Retail Price will be about $64.99 and has a Release Date of December 2012. So, look for it then!

Cosplay Photos From Wizard World's 2012 Philadelphia Comic Con

Wizard World's Philadelphia Comic Con was last weekend and here's photographic proof that some of our Friends in NJ went to the event. The cool thing is that everybody had a SUPER-GREAT time! As always there were plenty of Batman-Style Cosplay People at the show. The 1st few photos share that & I gotta say that I am totally in LOVE ( real love ) with that Catwoman in the 3rd photo, ha ha, no really! 

The list of characters seen, in order, are: Cute Girl Robin, Batman ( Adam West Version ), Batgirl ( 1966 TV Show ), Batman and Robin ( Modern Comic Book ), Modern Catwoman ( My Future Wife ), The Joker, Deathstroke, Killer Moth, Red Hood, Dr. Hugo Strange ( Arkham City version ), The Huntress and a Golden-Age Catwoman.

Also, seen in a few photos is the 1966 Batmobile Car that was supplied to the event by our good friend John Brown, who is a member of the "Gotham City Supercars Club". Big crowds ALWAYS go crazy goo-goo over that beautiful car, that's for sure!

Two Comic Book Artists that are important to the "Batman Universe" were there: Neal Adams and Arthur Suydam. Something very neat is our Friend BatDave got his very 1st Batman comic that he ever owned signed by Neal Adams, very cool! You can actually see Neal's signature in the photo. Now, the very last photo is the group of Friends of ours who all went to the event and they all look pretty happy. OK, I'm super jealous I didn't get to go, ha!

BATMAN WALLPAPERS - The HUNTRESS and Japanese ROBIN THE BOY WONDER Bat-Manga!

OK, How are these are obscure Batman characters, ha! Here are 2 Wallpaper Backgrounds I made to brighten your desktop! The 1st one is an extremely excellent graphic I found that was originally used to promote the HUNTRESS Comic Book Series. I like the simple color palette: Purple and Black with a little bit of White... WAY TOO COOL!

The next one is a scene from the BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD TV Cartoon where they did an episode that was a slight parody of Vintage Japan Bat-Manga!! It shows Robin, the Boy Wonder... with a Ray Gun! I love the Japanese Language BATMAN Logo!

OK, I hope you enjoyed at least ONE of these, ha! But if not, then click the button down below for more recent ones.

BATMAN ORIGINAL ART By Joe Pekar, Part 1

A good friend to the Bat-Blog, known as "The BAT-FAN", recently sent us a few photos of some of his incredible Batman Art Collection. In fact, there were so many that I had to break them up a little bit & will feature more in the near future. The artwork you see here are watercolors all done by Joe Pekar. He commissioned the artist to custom-make these just for him. The Superhero Characters include: Batgirl, Batman, Robin, & The Huntress. As you can see they are truly beautiful. Thank you "Bat-Fan" for sending these great pics, I appreciate that. If any other readers have Batman-themed art to share then please send it in. Also, if you would like to check out more of Joe Pekar's pin-up art then here's a link button to his website:

Batman-Themed Christmas Holiday Gingerbread Cookies Art

"Striking gingerbread fear into the hearts of holiday evil-doers!!!" The other day I got an e-mail from a Bat-Blog Reader named Chris who wrote, "I hate Christmas stuff, my wife loves Christmas stuff. Knowing I'm a huge Batman fan she tried to keep me interested this year by suggesting that our family gingerbread decorations be Batman themed. It worked!" Wow, it did work! Chris sent me a link to his newly created website where he & his wife share their gingerbread cookie creations that are all Batman-themed. There are a ton of different characters & it was actually kinda hard to pick a few examples ( like the ones shown here ) but they are ALL really amazing! I like that they did a lot of obscure characters & not just the main-stream ones. But, they did those too, ha ha! There's no way for me to show all the ones they did so you will have to visit their page to see them all. Chris, thanks for sending the link, & tell your wife she's a very talented smart woman!

BATMAN TATTOO ART : ROBIN & HUNTRESS from George Perez Comic Book Art

Last month ( Jan 19th ) we featured a cool Batman-Related Tattoo here at the BAT-BLOG that got alot of attention. Actually it was a CATWOMAN Tattoo & people really loved it, it's quite good. Well, a reader named "OJ" saw it & said he had one by the same artist. He wrote, "Thanks to tattoo artist Patrick Cornolo I was introduced to your nifty website here. It has quickly become one of my favorites! I have a whole slew of comic book-flavored tattoos, thanks to Patrick, and as of right now I have only one truly Batman-themed Tattoo. It is of the Robin and Huntress of Earth 2 and it is on my chest close to my right shoulder. The original art is credited to George Perez, of whom I'm a huge fan, and it's from the cover of CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #11 ( Feb 1986 ). I got a couple of ideas in the hopper, and eventually I will get around to having a genuine Batman tattoo completed. I'll keep you posted!". Up above are pics of his tattoo & the original source from which it was inspired. If you look at both pieces of artwork you can see how good it really is. Thanx OJ for the story & pics. Please keep us informed with the NEW Batman Tattoo when ya get it! Be sure to check the BAT-BLOG ARCHIVES for other Batman-inspired Tattoo Art!
