Here's an interesting video from a few years ago when the Batman Begins movie was being talked about. This footage is from a British TV Talk Show in the UK called TOP GEAR. It stars Richard Hammond and James May. Be sure to listen to the cheeky comment made at the very end of the video...it's kinda sarcastic but also pretty funny!

HUMOR PHOTO: Homemade Batmobile Replica Car!!

A new friend to the Bat-Blog, named Bob, sent us this awesome photo yesterday with the following e-mail message, "I like your BatBlog site. Lots of goodies. I'm a long time Batman fan ( born in 1962 ), so I was a perfect age when the TV show was originally on. I'm also a Rambler American Motors car buff. About 7 years ago or so an AMC Javelin ( a 1973 or 1974 I think ) done up like the Batmobile showed up on eBay. I don't know anything about it, other than a buddy sent me the picture." HA HA, Thanks Bob. I seriously LOVE this Homemade Batmobile!! It's hilarious! Plus, he actually did a pretty good job on it. The huge tail-fins kinda crack me up. This would be awesome to drive on the weekends. I bet my nephews would flip-out if I showed up at their house in this, ha ha! Thanks again for sending the pic, I appreciate that. If any other Bat-Blog Readers have cool stuff like this to share then please send us some photos. Our "e-mail button" is always at the top right-hand side of this page...AWESOME!!

BATTMANN Italian Batman Parody Comic Book Art By Mario Perrotta

I discovered an artist on the internet the other day who, I think, lives in Italy. At least I think his site is in Italian. ( If not, I apologize ). But, the main thing, is that his comic strip cartoon-style is pretty funny & he does a really great parody of Batman he calls BATTMANN. Shown up above are some examples of his work & you can see more by visiting his site ( link button down below ). His name is Mario Perrotta. Oh one last thing, the 2 large pictures up above are actually BATTMANN WALLPAPER BACKGROUNDS ! Click on them for the larger version & send to your desktop...ENJOY!

Artist HAL BLANE Gets Inspiration From The 1960's BATMAN AURORA MODEL KIT!

I have an artist friend on MySpace who is also a really big Batman Fan. Recently he was inspired by the Vintage 1960's Batman Aurora Model Kit. For people who have never seen this kit I'm showing a photo of it as an example. OK, now do you see what I'm talking about? WOW, this looked exactly like it as soon as I saw it, funny!

BATMAN POLITICAL HUMOR, Yesterday & Today!

OK, I never get political here at the Bat-Blog but I thought these pictures were pretty funny & decided to share them. I know that some Republicans are going to be total cry-babies over the "Sarah Palin" parody humor photo of her as the Joker but please remember that it's ONLY a joke. I'm not personally criticizing her or anything. So, don't flood me with e-mails, ok? But, ya gotta admit, it's hilarious! The 2nd photo is an actual piece of Batman merchandise that was made in 1960's. It's a poster of Batman & Robin as Hubert Humphrey & Lyndon B. Johnson ( or, as they say in Texas, LBJ! ). It's extremely RARE & is highly sought-after by both Batman & Political Memorabilia Collectors.
