Kenner's SUPER POWERS 25th Anniversary - The PENGUIN Action Figure!

OK, after just featuring the Joker I knew I couldn't leave out The Penguin! ACK ACK! He was another "Batman Super Villain" mixed into the group of characters in the Kenner SUPER POWERS Action Figure line-up! I remember having this toy a long time ago & it's really wonderful to revisit him once again! Originally, he came with an umbrella-weapon accessory ( shown here ). Also, just like the "Joker Figure" post, I'm showing a reprint of the original mini-comic booklet that came with the figure...enjoy!

BATMAN FAN Creates Bat-Knuckles Weapon at School

I got an e-mail the other day from a female reader who said, "OK, so I go to a Vo-Tech School and I finished all my work early so I decided to use this time to work on my own personal piece. I designed and created it myself, out of metal using a band saw, drill, mill, and sanding belt...enjoy!"


WOW! Bat-Knuckles! Ummm, I don't think Batman would actually use these because they look pretty deadly, if ya ask me, ha ha! But the overall design is awesome!

THE DARK KNIGHT: Batman's Arsenal & Weapon

In one of the movie trailers for The Dark Knight you can see "Batman's Closet" where he stores the Bat-Suit & all of his weapons. It rises out of the floor of Bruce Wayne's Bat Cave ( very cool ) & opens up. The weapons storage is inside the doors & while most of the items are kind of recognizable there was one item, at the top, that was freaking everybody out. A lot of people thought it was a rifle or other deadly weapon ( that Batman would NEVER use ) but in fact it's a High-Powered Grapple Gun Rifle, for long distances. I think it also shoots explosive devices to take out doors & windows. Anyways, here's some pics to enjoy. ( Click on the small photo up above for a larger, more detailed, version ).

The Joker's Weapon in The Dark Knight Batman Movie ( Heath Ledger ).

I know that later this year there are gonna be a lot of people working on some very cool costumes (for either comic book conventions or Halloween parties) of The Joker so I thought I would do this post to explain one of the weapon-props the Joker ( Heath Ledger ) uses in the movie. This is the famous scene in the movie trailer where the Joker is seen holding a gun. It's the gun he's shooting when he says, "HIT ME!". This weapon is a Smith & Wesson M-76 Submachine Gun. They make replicas which you can probably find on eBay. Or, if you have a small budget, just carry a knife. It's the preferred weapon of The Joker anyway!
