This first photo shown here is pretty amazing! It just needs a tiny bit of explaining to understand it's total awesomeness!! OK, Every year, in the Whitt Family household, it's a Holiday Tradition for them to create an extremely elaborate Custom Christmas Card with a "Batman theme". I'm proud to say that I have got a few and they're pretty cool! But this year they really outdid themselves, ha!
Check it out: The 2nd photo is a very famous piece of Batman Merchandise. This was a Christmas Collector Plate put out by DC Direct Gallery in 2005. I still remember when I first saw it at a Warner Bros Store. It's one of the rare "Bat-Xmas" items that featured artwork by Alex Ross. It shows the Joker and Harley Quinn dressed as Santa Claus and they have trapped Batman in a Santa's Toy Bag. It's become a very classic Holiday image, almost iconic.
Now, when I received this photo from my friend John ( He's "Batman" in the photo ) I just thought he sent a picture of that PLATE, sort of like a Holiday Greeting, ha! But looking at it I was kind of taken back and then I was like, "Hey, That's a photo of real people!" Yes, they fooled me! The picture is that good. Thanks John and please extend the best wishes from me to your family, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Just a quick post to remind everybody to go to your friendly neighborhood Target Store because they have Batman Wrapping Paper! Yes! This was out last year & very hard-to-find. This photo was sent in by our friend Jennifer & thanks to her we get to see what the graphic design of the Batman Gift Wrap looks like...it's beautiful!
The Bat-Blog wishes everybody a HAPPY HOLIDAY! Old Saint Nick himself made an appearance on the 1966 Batman TV series on December 22, 1966 in an episode titled "The Duo is slumming". It was one of those "special guest" moments where, while Batman & Robin are climbing up the side of a building, a person pops their head out the window. Santa Claus was played by the wonderful character Actor Andy Devine ( Thanks Jackie! ).
OK, this year I'm not really in the holiday spirit just yet but I know a lot of Bat-Fans probably are by now so I thought I would post this awesome BATMAN XMAS Desktop Background that was sent in by a Bat-Blog Reader. His name is Andrew & I really appreciate the effort he put into this cool wallpaper picture, it's an ART masterpiece! It uses some vintage-style graphics by Sheldon Moldoff...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!! ( OK, I'm in the holiday spirit now, ha ha! ).
All of us here at the Bat-Blog wanna wish ALL of our loyal readers a very very very MERRY CHRISTMAS & a wonderful HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Thank you for checking out our blog every day. Over the last year or so this has been a lot of fun & we hope to keep going for a very long time!
Our friend Kevin sent us this link to a very cool fan-made JOKER CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. It's pretty well done & the Joker make-up is quite good. Enjoy! Oh yeah, Thanks Kevin!!
Our friend Kevin sent us some really great photos of his Christmas Tree for this year with a Batman theme. It's totally decorated with Batman ornaments & we love it. We wanna wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas & a happy holiday season! Thanks Kevin for sending the pix, they're great & the tree looks awesome. Thank You!!
Recently I have got a ton of messages & e-mails requesting Batman-related Christmas graphics so here we go! We got pictures of Golden Age Comic Book Covers, Jim Lee's Tumbler Batmobile ( a gift from Santa ), Photos of Batman & Santa together, Batman dressed in a Santa Claus costume, & even The Joker in his Santa Claus suit! I'll try to find more but I wanna ask readers to send some if they got 'em...Happy Holidays!!
