Paul's Awesome MODERN BATMAN Bat-Suit Costume

We recently got an email where a Friend named Paul shared these wonderful photos with us. This is Paul at an Office Party they had at his work and he showed-up as Batman, The Dark Knight!! I'm always impressed with how creative the "Cosplay People" get at making their special clothing and costumes. The attention to detail is very clever. This Bat-Suit is AWESOME! I really like the Bat-Logo on the chest, a modern version, and the military-style pouches for the Bat-Belt... nice! Thanks for sending these in Paul, good job.

Cool BATMAN FANS Go Crazy at Halloween!

It seems like a lot of BATMAN Fans are getting ready for Halloween! Here are 2 photos recently sent in to the Bat-Blog showing some "Dark Knight" holiday spirit. The 1st one is a really cool kid named Justin. He's a member of the "Junior BatSquad" in New Jersey! He wanted to share the news about these cool party favors & supplies at a store called "Party City". They also have that awesome "Brave and The Bold" Mask he's wearing.

Next up is a Batman Costume in progress. He's got the Mask, Shirt, Gloves...almost ready to party, or fight crime! Also, check out that cool BATMAN Logo Tattoo on his lower arm!

BATMAN INFLATABLE BOUNCE HOUSE Spotted in Australia!

While surfing the Internet the other night I came across this very cool BATMAN INFLATABLE BOUNCE HOUSE that would be perfect for any party! The thing that made it interesting to me is that the company renting it is located in Australia. Ha! I totally love that! I really like how the Dark Knight is popular all over the world. So, if you're a Bat-Blog Fan who lives outside the USA, then I'm asking you to please keep me updated on Bat-News from your part of the world. My email button is always on the top right-hand side of this page, thanks!

Arturo's Wonderful JOKER Costume & Make-Up Photos

One of the greatest things I love about doing the Bat-Blog is getting to meet Batman Fans from all over the world. Here are some photos sent-in by a friend named Arturo. He lives in Mexico & wanted us to see his JOKER costume he made for a party. It looks like everybody had a fun time! The costume is very well done & the funny thing is that he had a mustache ( which he didn't shave off ) & he covered it with white make-up in honor of Cesar Romero, the Actor who played the Joker in TV's 1966 BATMAN! Now, how cool is that?! Whoops, I guess I should explain that, back in the 1960's, Romero refused to shave his trademark mustache & left it on to become the Joker. They just covered it with white make-up & it's always been sort of an unusual piece of Bat-History. Thank you for sending the wonderful photos Arturo!

Stu's Family Parties With Batman!!

You might remember a story here at the Bat-Blog we did on Jay Weatherby's Custom Batmobile. Our friend BatDave sort of met him by accident one day in New Jersey & then got to ride in the Batmobile! He later sent us some great pics of this replica car. Well, a few days later I got these photos from our friend Stu. He & his family had a cool party & hired Jay for the event. Check out these fun pics! It looks like everyone had a great time. Oh yeah, if missed the previous post & you wanna see BatDave's pictures of the Batmobile then click HERE! I also wanna thank Stu for sharing the wonderful photos.

BAT-SQUAD 2009: Batman, Catwoman, & Batgirl!

Here are some awesome pics from last Halloween sent in by a Bat-Blog Fan named BatDave, The Drunk Knight ( who lives in New Jersey ). He wrote,

I was fortunate enough to talk my girlfriend Lisa and her stunning pal Delia into being my own personal Batgirl and Catwoman for a huge Halloween party in Woodbridge, NJ. I realize that our costumes are an amalgam of various Bat-phases, but the crowd went wild when we entered the nite club. Especially when my 2 ladies broke into a mock cat fight!! We won a $200 second prize and had an incredible night of super heroic fun!!

( Jealous ) Hey Dave, I think you guys should have got 1st Place. That contest must have surely been rigged! Lisa & Delia both look totally awesome & their costumes are great! Yours is not too shabby either. It looks like you Party Animals had a lot of fun & that's very cool. Thanks for sending the wonderful pics, they're great!

Batman Halloween Costumes: Batgirl & The Joker!

Last Halloween my girlfriend & her best friend went around town to a few clubs & parties. They were dressed as very sexy "Vampire Babes"! Outside, at one bar, they saw these people all dressed-up & they knew they had to get some pics for the Bat-Blog. All of their bat-costumes were pretty cool. Shown here, we have a very Hot Batgirl & a totally Crazy Joker! He looks like he just broke out of Arkham Asylum, ha ha! Thank you to Kandye & Ducki for getting these very cool photos!

Jennifer's Custom-Made HARLEY QUINN Costume Dress & POISON IVY Outfit

Long time readers of the Bat-Blog know all about our good friend Jennifer & her crazy art-craft projects, ha ha! She always make incredible stuff so when I recently got an e-mail from her I knew it would be something awesome...and it was! It looks like she has been kinda busy lately! Recently she designed these 2 new Batman-themed outfits for Halloween. One is a Harley Quinn Party Dress that is totally amazing & could also be a good costume. The 2nd one is a Poison Ivy costume. She explains everything better than I do so here's what she wrote:

"The first is a dress inspired by Harley Quinn. Clearly it's not meant to be an exact replica of her costume, but more like something she might wear to a party. :) The whole costume is velvet and has several little 'clown' style accents to it. I also made the little matching hat and gloves and found a great necklace to finish the look. :D

The second costume is Poison Ivy. I used a vintage sequin dress and totally rebuilt it to be more like Ivy's tunic. I hand painted a ton of Ivy leaves with green glitter and sewed them to the edges of the dress. I also made the ivy eye mask, and hand dyed gloves to finish the look."

WOW! Jennifer, you totally outdid yourself this time! Both items are really wonderful, seriously. I especially like the Harley Quinn Dress because it's so unique & original. But the Poison Ivy Costume is great too!! I like how the leaves are sort of realistic-looking, a nice touch. Thanks for keeping us updated & sending the great photos. Readers, you might check out ETSY sometime because she sells stuff like this there. Also, If there are any other Bat-Blog Readers who do creative things then please let us know. It can be painting, drawing, costumes, tattoo art, whatever!

New BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Birthday Masks at Party City!

A reader of the Bat-Blog recently sent in these pics of his 2 sons. He said he got these Batman Party Masks at a place called PARTY CITY for $1.93 each! It's a Birthday Party Supply store & he said that besides plates, cups, napkins ( the usual stuff ), there were also some toy prizes like the Grappling Hook & the Batarang too! The neat thing about the masks is that they are not those flat die-cut paper ones they usually make but are sort of 3D plastic-molded ( He did say they were kind of cheap & flimsy but they're still awesome ). David said when he was returning home from the store he could see his kids in the backseat wearing the masks & seeing the "creepy eyes" was sort of weird, ha ha! I gotta admit I have always liked this "Birthday party" stuff because it's so unusual. Plus, it's kind of inexpensive & fun to look at. Now, these masks are totally great & I am going to have to buy a few of these! Thank you David for sending in the wonderful photos.

Batman Scarecrow Halloween Costume is a HIT!

Last month, one of my friends over at MySpace sent me some pictures of his Scarecrow Costume he made. You might have remembered that post awhile back. Well, here's his costume at the party his family had & it looks like it was a total success! It also looks like they had Batman arrive with a mustache, pretty funny! The picture with the large group of people features his sister as The Joker & his cousin wearing an awesome Mad Hatter Costume. So, I'm guessing everybody there was a big Batman Fan too, that's cool!
