OK, anyone who has been following the BAT-BLOG for awhile knows that we have an excellent group of friends in New Jersey who are always contributing some very cool Batman-related stories. Here's a very good example:



Recently they all got together and created this Mini BATMAN TRIBUTE Movie that shares the adventure they had at the 2012 New Jersey State Fair. While there, they had the opportunity to film the Original 1966 Bat-Copter ( flown by Capt. Gene Nock ) and a beautiful 1966 Batman TV Show Batmobile Replica Car together!! This stuff is pretty cool to see so please check it out. Also, if you're a Facebook Member, then PLEASE share it so others can enjoy it too, thanks!

NJ SUPER MEGA SHOW & COMIC FEST - Batman Batmobile and Bat-Vehicle Coverage!

Recently, some Loyal Bat-Blog Readers sent us some amazing photos from the SUPER-MEGA SHOW & COMIC FEST that happened in New Jersey on June 9th & 10th. Here are some pics from our Good Pal & Ace Bat-Reporter BatDave and we'll be sharing even more later. These sort of focus on the Batman Bat-Vehicles that were there and they had an amazing assortment! 

OK, Outside ( right near the front door! ), they had a beautiful pair of 1966 BATMAN TV Show Replicas: The '66 Batmobile and Bat-Cycle!! Also appearing at the show was Captain Gene Nock who brought his Original 1960's Batman Movie Batcopter, also known as the N3079G!! 

Oh yeah hold on, one last thing! The Actor Robert Vaughn, who was a Special Guest at the show and you might remember him from THE MAN FROM UNCLE 60's TV Series, was kind enough to pop outside and get into our friend John's 1966 Batmobile for a photo op! As you can imagine everyone loves to sit inside that car and, sometimes, it's even kind of hard to get them to get out of it, ha ha!

Stewart's BATMAN BATMOBILE PHOTOS From the Recent SUPER MEGA SHOW & COMIC FEST

Check out these ultra-cool photos taken by our friend Stewart ( we call him "Stu" ) who, about two weeks ago, went to the SUPER-MEGA SHOW AND COMIC FEST in New Jersey. While he was there he got to see the Original 1989 Batman Movie Batmobile Car, and an awesome set of 1966 Batmobile & Bat-Cycle Replicas! Now, this was the show that had Adam West & Burt Ward as special guests but while Stu was taking pics of the vehicles outside he got this great shot of Lee Merriwether sitting in the '66 Batmobile. It looks like she is using a Sharpee marker to "autograph" the dashboard ( Yes, She was the original Catwoman in the 60's movie & still looks great! ). These are really fun pics Stu, thanks for sharing. Readers, we have more pics from this show coming up which we will show soon so please stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG!

FREE BATMAN WALLPAPERS - The 1966 TV Show Batmobile Car!

I'm posting this week's "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" on Thursday. Yeah, I'm an Idiot, ha! But wait a minute, these are both really pretty and you're gonna love 'em! These FREE BATMAN WALLPAPERS focus on the 1966 Batmobile, the most beautiful Car in the entire world, period. The other cool thing is that both pics were contributed by Bat-Blog Fans. The 1st one is from our Friend Bat-Dave who shot this at a recent NJ Comic-Con. The Car is owned by a guy named John & he had just built that "Batttering-Ram" device you see on the front grill. Next, is a photo sent to us by a friend in Dallas, Texas named Frank. This car was at some Shopping Mall and is pretty awesome! Frank probably drooled over this thing all day. So, I guess one is "outside" and the other is "inside". Either way this car is the greatest vehicle... ever!

The 1966 Batmobile Car, or Batmovil, Just Seen in Mexico

Here are 2 cool photos sent in by our new friend Javier. He recently spotted the 1966 Batmobile at the UDLA Puebla in Mexico. This Batmobile car looks great, or as they say in Spanish, "Batmovil". ( Thanks for sharing these fun pics Javier ).

HOT BATMAN BABES - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

Oh yeah! Here are some ever so delightful Batman-related HOT BAT-BABE WALLPAPERS to brighten your PC's desktop! I guess I gotta explain to brand-new BAT-BLOG Readers that every Wednesday we post a few FREE Batman Backgrounds. It's been a tradition for over 6 years so why stop now! These photos were submitted by our good friend BatDave from 2 different events that happened to be in New Jersey. The 1st one has a beautiful pair of Evil Bat-Villains, Catwoman and Harley Quinn! Oh yeah, there's some 1966 Batmobile Replica Cars in the photo too, ( who cares? ) Ha Ha! Speaking of the Batmobile the next one has a very pretty "Daisy Duke" Girl with the Famous Car, so I guess it's still "Batman-related"...right? You're welcome.

Vintage BATMAN 1966 BATMOBILE REPLICA CAR Story from 1989 Belgium Newspaper

WOW! Now here's an extremely cool piece of Bat-History! A Loyal Bat-Blog Fan in Belgium, named Cliff, sent us this scan of a Vintage Newspaper Clipping he has kept forever! Cliff explained,

"I thought you might be interested in a 1989 newspaper article which I have kept since then in my good old and battered Batman Official Movie book. According to the article, the stunning 1966 Batmobile Replica Car is the work of the (then) 27 year old Mark Perkins from Winkfield Row, UK. After having asked permission from Warner Brothers, Pekins ordered the 1973 Lincoln from the United States. Then, when it was shipped to him by… well, ship, he transformed the Lincoln into the Batmobile in seven months. The article ends by stating that the Batmobile Replica will be shown in front of London’s Warner West End Theater when the movie opens next Friday. I can’t help but wonder what has become of UK Batfan Mark Perkins and his Batmobile… I wonder if he ended up making replicas of the Furst Batmobile and the Tumbler :)"

That's a good question Cliff. Does the car still exist? If so, then where is it now? Thank you for sharing this great Batman-related Newspaper Clipping. It's so cool seeing older stuff like that. It's even cooler that it's "foreign". If any other BAT-BLOG.COM Readers out there have some interesting stuff like this then please don't hesitate to share with all of us, thanks!

NJ COMIC EXPO - BATVENTION PHOTOS - 1966 Batman TV Show and Movie Reunion

A few days ago the Bat-Blog.Com told you about the NJ COMIC EXPO "2011 Batvention Event" in Teaneck, NJ that happened last weekend. Well, Ace Bat-Repoter BatDave was there & got some amazing photos to share! The event was a Celebration of the 1966 BATMAN TV Show! Well, I should also say "the BATMAN Movie" too because the Guest of Honor was none other than CATWOMAN herself, Lee Merriwether!



Like we reported, many other Actresses from the 60's TV Show were there. They appear in the photos up above & it looks like they all had a great time. Batdave's friends, The Gotham City Supercars Club, were there with their incredible Batmobile Replica Cars. A guy named Batrodz even showed up with a wonderful 1966 Batcycle Replica Motorcycle ( Check out his Custom Batman Helmet! ). Captain Gene Nock was there with his Original 1966 Batcopter. That was very special because Lee Merriwether and that Original Bat-Vehicle both appeared in the 1960's BATMAN Film.



There were also a ton of wonderful Cosplay People all showing off their fun costumes. Whew! It looks like it was a totally great event, I wish I could have been there! Oh yeah, a special "Thank You" goes out to BatDave for getting all these awesome pics together. If anyone else went to this event and wants to share some pics then please let us know.

1966 BATMAN TV BATMOBILE CAR WALLPAPER From The GOTHAM CITY SUPERCAR CLUB

Our Buddies over at the GOTHAM CITY SUPERCAR CLUB in New Jersey recently sent us this beautiful photo showing a few of their 1966 Batmobile Replica cars that they were getting ready to go out as party rentals. Actually, I think they sent the pic to completely torture me. I don't have ONE of these, but they have TWO! ( Ha Ha! Just Kiddin' ) Actually they have more than these. They also have a Tumbler Batmobile, like the kind in the newer Batman Movies, and I'll be posting photos of that car later. But for right now, please enjoy this FREE BATMAN WALLPAPER you can use as a background on your PC desktop!!

Video - Batmobile Replica Car From 1995 BATMAN FOREVER Movie

Now, while the BATMAN FOREVER Movie from 1995 has not been a favorite bat-film of mine I have always thought that the Batmobile from that movie was OK. This video shows a Replica Car somebody made and no matter what you think about the real car this replica is extremely well done. I especially like the interior work with all the gauges, buttons, & knobs. The outside is nice too, very well done!

BATMOBILE REPLICA CARS & GOLDEN AGE BATWOMAN - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

If you read the Bat-Blog yesterday then you know we did a post about the "Michael Uslan Batman Book Signing" that happened in New Jersey last weekend. Well, for the event, they had a few Batmobile Replica Cars on display that were supplied by Gotham City Supercars. That's the 1st BATMAN WALLPAPER presented here. The photo features a very nice 1966 Batmobile & the cool car from the 1989 Movie. I would have tried to steal them BOTH, ha!







Then, the 2nd wallpaper background shares an image of BATWOMAN from the Golden Age. It's a convention drawing by Sheldon Moldoff. You see, I recently got an email from a Bat-Blog Fan asking to see a "Batwoman Background" showing her as she appeared in the TV Cartoon, "Batman: The Brave and The Bold". Yes, she made an appearance. Well, I did have some nice graphics of her but they're on my old computer that I can't access. Then, I searched Google forever trying to find these pics & could never find anything decent. Then, I asked the Warner Bros PR Dept to please send me some pics but that's taking forever. So I finally settled on these. Sorry Dude, I'll have those images for you when I can get them. In the mean time please enjoy this one.

Can Ya Help a Bat-Brother Out? Can Ya, Please?

Early this morning I got an email from a Bat-Blog Fan named Dan who shared this dream of wanting a Fiberglass Freaks 1966 Batmobile Replica Car. Which is kinda funny because that's the same dream that tortures all of us, ha ha! But hey, Dan is doing something about it! He is currently trying to raise money ( through donations ) to buy his very own '66 Batmobile, and then tour the country with it, stopping to visit everyone who has helped and giving them the chance to drive it themselves! He also plans on stopping at Children Hospitals along the way and giving free rides to sick kids. So, if you wanna help a Bat-Brother out then please give whatever you can, just click HERE!

ART MASTERPIECE: The 1966 Batman TV Show Adam West Cowl Made By Chuck!

OK, I swear that I don't mean for the Bat-Blog to be all "Adam West - Batman Day" today, it just worked out that like that, ha ha! But I had to post these 2 new photos I found because I'm really proud of them. A friend of mine, named Chuck, who's an extremely talented artist & sculptor, makes these totally amazing 1966 Batman Cowl Replicas that I consider to be Masterpieces of ART. I'm really trying to be sincere here when I say that & I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, I mean, just look at the photos! Chuck made this by hand & it's almost better, no, it is better, than the original ones they made for the 60's TV Series. The attention to details, in every way, is totally insane! It's just completely beautiful! I seriously wish I could afford one of them. In fact, I would buy 2. One to put in a glass display case with security guards watching it 24 hours a day & the other to wear every single moment of my life!
