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 - New Batman Movie Advertising Around The Globe!!

The 1st pic is all the way from Denmark and shows an incredible piece of advertising for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES movie. Look how HUGE that banner is, very cool! Plus, they made it look like there is a "giant hole" in the building, ha! ( Thanks Erik )

Then, last but not least, is a really great example of a "Foreign Batman Movie Poster". It is all in Bulgarian & was mentioned to us by our good friend Zdravko who lives in Bulgaria. He's ultra-excited about seeing this new film. ( Thanks Z! )

New THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman and Catwoman Wall Posters

Very quickly, I wanted to share these 2 pics I found that represent 2 brand-new Wall Posters you'll be able to find in Retail Stores pretty soon, if not now. They both showcase CATWOMAN ( Anne Hathaway ) and BATMAN ( Christian Bale ) from THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie. I bet the Marketing Dept for that company said, "We'll make one for Boys and one for Girls". But, what they don't know is that all the Boys will probably want the Catwoman Poster, ha ha!

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - New BATMAN Movie Hyped on Warner Bros Studio Building

There's a HUGE Billboard Sign on the bldg advertising THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie! Yes, it's the Movie Poster with Bane turning his back, walking away, with a broken BATMAN Mask on the ground. AWESOME! ( Thanks Matt for sharing this great pic, I'm actually JEALOUS! )

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - New Movie Poster, Maybe?

OK, Here's a photo that recently popped-up on Amazon of all places. I have not confirmed it yet but it might be a brand-new Movie Poster for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Film. Personally I'm leaning more towards it being "fan-made". I guess we'll have to wait & see. But either way it's kinda cool. Be sure to click on it for a slightly larger version.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA OVALTINE POSTER & T-SHIRT Ultra Rare 1960's Batman Memorabilia!

OK, I thought I'd do a quick post to share this ultra-rare piece of Bat-History! These photos are of 2 items that recently sold on evil eBay. One is a Store Display Poster for an offer to buy an OVALTINE Mail-Away Premium "JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA" T-Shirt. Those bright day-glo colors must have been seen by every little kid for a 3 mile radius, ha ha! Then, the next photo shows the actual JLA T-Shirt you could have got back in the 1960's ( I'm guessing around 1966 or 1967 ). Oh man, the retro-style graphics are totally beautiful and it even features Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and The Flash! I wish I had these 2 pieces, especially that poster. But, I guess I'll just have to enjoy these pictures because this stuff is so ultra-rare it will probably never be seen by me in my lifetime. It's what we serious Vintage Toy Collectors call a "Museum Piece".

BATMAN AUCTION NEWS - Hake's Americana & Collectibles Goes Batman Crazy in November!

If you are a Vintage Batman Toy Collector then right now is the time to check out the "Hake's Americana & Collectibles" website. They are currently running a few very amazing LOTS of super-rare Batman items. The photos of treasures shown here are only a small example. The 1st pic shows a few pieces from the BATMAN EXECUTIVE DESK SET, which, they are selling in it's original box. Now, to be honest, this is not the rarest item they have... but it's very sought after by Serious Bat-Collectors because it's so cool & it is actually very hard to find. I've been collecting for 25+ years & I don't have it, ha!

Speaking of RARE, the next piece is practically a "Toy Museum Piece"! No hype intended, this is a "One of a Kind" item that you may never see again. This is the original Injection Mold Piece that was used to create a rubber-vinyl head for a set of Batman Slippers back in the 1960's.

Next up, and pretty darn RARE too ( ha! ), is this BATGIRL SUPER-QUEENS DOLL. This was made by the Ideal Toy Company in 1967. This toy line didn't sell very well back then & today these figures are highly sought after. This example has her original batarang & her costume with cowl is really nice!

OK, Do you remember the BAT-MANGA JAPANESE BATMAN Book created by Chip Kidd a couple of years ago? Well, here's an extremely RARE Large 18" X 24" Promo Poster used to publicize the book. Actually, it was for an event held on January 15th, 2009 at the Philbrook Museum Of Art in Tulsa, OK. The graphics are beautiful & this baby is ULTRA-RARE!!

Now, these items are running right now, as we speak, and most will end around November 10th. Plus, like I said, I couldn't list everything they have!! So, for more information be sure to visit the HAKES AUCTION Website & while you're there be sure to use their SEARCH function & hunt down more "BATMAN"!
