New BATMAN SKATEBOARDS Showing Up at Family Dollar!

This is a quick post to share this photo of a brand-new Batman Product that some Collectors might really like. Our friend Ryan spotted some BATMAN Skateboards at Family Dollar. Hey, the graphics are really cool and they are only $15 bucks, you can't beat that price! I like the third  one the best, the one with the "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" TV cartoon image. ( Thanks Ryan )

Desmond's 2012 DENVER COMIC CON Adventure!

Last weekend was the very 1st Annual DENVER COMIC CON ( Colorado ) and it was a complete success. But, the most important thing was our Little Buddy Desmond got to go and this was his very 1st Superhero event like this. Of course he wore his BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Costume. Which wasn't that far of a stretch because he practically lives in it anyway, ha ha! But, can you imagine his surprise when he got there and saw that there were many other Cosplay Batman Fans all dressed-up just like he was! 



Yes, he had a great time & even got his face painted like Batman too. Oh yeah check this out, his Dad, our Friend Seth, got to meet Michael Uslan who we all know as the Executive Producer for the Batman Movies. He was there promoting THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Film. Now before I go I wanna thank Melissa  for sharing these wonderful photos. I ALWAYS love seeing the Desmond!

New Mattel HOT WHEELS BATMAN BATMOBILES Spotted at Walmart

You might have read about these brand-new HOT WHEELS BATMAN Batmobile Toy Cars right here at the Bat-Blog awhile back. Well, our Good Friend and Ace Bat-Reporter BATMOBILLY spotted them, in a special display, at Wal-Mart the other night. Don't worry, they sell them at Target also. These toy cars are really amazing as diecast vehicles but for me there are two very cool things about them: 1. The packaging artwork is awesome ( I really like the use of all the different Bat-Logos ), and 2. They only cost $1.07. Hey, that's something we can ALL afford, ha ha!



There are EIGHT to collect and also keep in mind that some of these are re-issues. For a complete checklist be sure to check out that 1st image of a graphic taken from the back of one card (Click on it for a larger version ).

BATMAN VIDEO - THE JOKER'S UTILITY BELT! Comic Book History

Shown up above is the cover to a now ultra-classic comic book, BATMAN #73. This was the issue that introduced "Jokers Utility Belt". This story inspired a "Joker episode" for a 1966 BATMAN TV Show Script, has been reprinted numerous times, and even made an appearance on the recent BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD animated TV cartoon in an episode titled "Emperor Joker". 

Well, someone made a set of videos that tell the story. I don't know what the source of the audio is but it seems like some "Story Record" you might have heard as a little kid. If anyone knows, please let us know. But hey, watch the 3 videos, they're fun!

BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD The Comic Book - Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

Hey Kids, it''s time again for Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday! This week I thought I'd post a few backgrounds that are sort of inspired by the BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Cartoon. Except, instead of using images from the TV series, I thought it would be interesting to borrow some graphics from the B: TB & TB Comic Books. Here are 2 images featuring Batman and one also has Jonah Hex. Yeah, fighting a Steampunk Robot, that's cool!

BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD - MITEFALL! The Last Episode - Promo Trailers and Wallpapers

The BAT-BLOG.COM has some sort of bad news to report. Tonight ( Friday, November 18th, 2011 ) is the very VERY last episode of BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD. It's titled, "MITEFALL!" and will star Bat-Mite! On a personal level I really loved this show for it's Humor, Animation Quality, Art Direction, Vehicle Design, and most of all... bringing back a TON of great Superheros and Villains from the Silver-Age History of DC Comics. Man, they found some extremely obscure characters sometimes, ha! It will also be kind of sad watching the last episode tonight. But, this highly-rated TV show did have a great 3 year run! So as always, I guess, all good things come to an end. On a happy side-note: There is news of a brand-new CGI Animation "BEWARE THE BATMAN" to become a part of Cartoon Network's new DC NATION line-up. YEA! we all have that to look forward to!!



Up above are some "MITEFALL!" Wallpaper Backgrounds I hope you enjoy. Yes, the 1st one is a shameless promotion for the BAT-BLOG, Ha Ha! Then, down below are some Trailer Videos for the Season Finale Episode:

New Video Clips - BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD “Time Out for Vengeance!”

Here's a new Video Clip of the next BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Cartoon titled “Time Out for Vengeance!”. It airs on Friday, September 23rd at 6:00 p.m. ET/PT on the Cartoon Network.



The Basic Plot:

In order to save Batman in the present time, the Justice League International must travel to various eras in time and aid that era’s Batman who is being hunted down by the minions of Batman’s old foe, Equinox. Superhero Guests include: Aquaman, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Guy Gardner. Also, the Creeper appears in the teaser section.

These Custom Made BATMAN Toys ROCK!

Here's a quick post to share a few photos sent in by 2 Bat-Blog Fans named John & Mike. They're both very creative people & have made some really cool Custom BATMAN Toys!

John's story goes like this:
For awhile he's been into finding old broken action figures & improving them. He said he has always wanted to do a Custom "Comic Action Penguin" & he recently found a broken one he could work on. Now, for people who don't know, "Comic Action" Figures were made around 1976 by MEGO & they practically have a cult following. One thing about them, that gives them a lot of charm, is that they were kinda cheesy, ha! But John gave his figure some new legs & custom paint job. The result is pretty impressive.




Mike's story goes like this:
Mike is a Father of 2 kids who totally love Cartoon Network's BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD animated series. They love to play with the toys and action figures of the characters from the TV show. But the problem was, no matter how hard they looked, they could never find the "Robin" figure & really wanted one. So, their Dad made them the 2 shown here. The 1st photo shows how he made a Robin figure to go with the regular Batman Action Figure from the toy line by Mattel. The 2nd photo shows a custom "Robin" toy of an "Action League" mini-figure. So, 2 different toy lines are covered here. Plus, Mike did an amazing job on these & the kids totally love playing with them! Thanks to both Toy Custom Artists for sharing their work. We want to invite all other Bat-Blog Fans out there to do the same.

NEW BATMAN DVD REVIEW - THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Season Two, Part One ( 2-Disc Set )

I just got done watching the latest "BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD" TV Cartoon DVD. It's the new "SEASON TWO, PART ONE" 2-Disc Set. Oh man, it was a total blast to watch! I think "Season Two" was when this show was really hitting it's stride. Plus, this DVD took forever to watch, almost 4 hours! Which is a point I'd like to make: Considering that you get 273 minutes of entertainment for less than the price of a regular movie, then it's still a pretty good value. But, back to the greatness of this product, hee hee! It contains some of the best episodes so far. Here's a list, check it out:




Disc 1

• Death Race To Oblivion!
• Long Arm Of The Law!
• Revenge of the Reach!
• Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure!
• The Golden Age of Justice!
• Sidekicks Assemble!
  

Disc 2

• Clash of the Metal Men!
• A Bat Divided!
• The Super-Batman of Planet X!
• The Power of Shazam!
• Chill of The Night!
• Gorillas in Our Mist!
  

OK, see what I mean. There's some great stuff on this volume. Personally my 2 favorite episodes to watch again were "The Golden Age of Justice!" and "Chill of the Night!". I guess I should also mention that this DVD Set has 2 Languages: English & Spanish. It also has "French Subtitles".

New BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD DVD Comes Out August 16th!
