BATMAN Hallmark Stores 2009 Christmas Ornament - Descending Upon Gotham

For 2009 Hallmark is going to have another Batman-themed Christmas ornament this year & it looks pretty cool! The thing I like about it is that it is the "Silver Age Comic Book" version with the yellow-oval bat-symbol logo on the chest. It measures about 4 1/2" tall & will have a retail price of $15.00. We reported on this thing awhile back but I recently found a way better picture of it. Plus, it's closer to the time when it will actually be in stores so I thought I would do a re-post to remind everybody. So...keep an eye out for it on your next trip!

Batman Christmas Holiday Decorating Idea # 1

It seems our friends Dallas & Daria are really getting into the Holiday Spirit this year! They decorated a few Batman, Joker, & Catwoman Statues with Christmas wreaths. The funny thing is the expression on Batman's face makes him look like he's not too happy with the whole idea, ha ha! But, overall, the 3 busts look pretty cool & I thought the picture would make a great Christmas Card image ( Thanks to Dallas for sending us the funny pic ).


HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY!!!

Bloomingdale's DYNAMIC DUOS NIGHT - Batman and Robin Manikins

We reported at the Bat-Blog awhile back about all the special DC COMICS 75th Anniversary merchandise that the Bloomingdale's Store had. It was some really cool stuff, mostly clothing & T-Shirts. Most of it was totally EXCLUSIVE & you could only get it there. But check out this photo of a display they had around Christmas. It was for "DYNAMIC DUOS NIGHT". They had these custom-made Batman and Robin Manikins to show where the line for Santa Claus starts!

Don's BATMAN Christmas Tree Ornament Collection

Shown here are some wonderful photos of a very nice collection of Batman-related Christmas Tree Ornaments. They were sent in by our friend Don & to give you an idea of the size of his tree we also get to meet Ayden & Jake. They usually get to help decorate the tree & they really enjoy it, it's a lot of fun! Plus, if you check out the photos they did a wonderful job! I wanna thank Don for thinking about the Bat-Blog & sending us these cool pics. Plus, I want to wish Ayden, Jake, & all our other readers the very best holiday season ever!

HAPPY BATMAN CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY WISHES From The WHITT FAMILY!

This first photo shown here is pretty amazing! It just needs a tiny bit of explaining to understand it's total awesomeness!! OK, Every year, in the Whitt Family household, it's a Holiday Tradition for them to create an extremely elaborate Custom Christmas Card with a "Batman theme". I'm proud to say that I have got a few and they're pretty cool! But this year they really outdid themselves, ha!

Check it out: The 2nd photo is a very famous piece of Batman Merchandise. This was a Christmas Collector Plate put out by DC Direct Gallery in 2005. I still remember when I first saw it at a Warner Bros Store. It's one of the rare "Bat-Xmas" items that featured artwork by Alex Ross. It shows the Joker and Harley Quinn dressed as Santa Claus and they have trapped Batman in a Santa's Toy Bag. It's become a very classic Holiday image, almost iconic.

Now, when I received this photo from my friend John ( He's "Batman" in the photo ) I just thought he sent a picture of that PLATE, sort of like a Holiday Greeting, ha! But looking at it I was kind of taken back and then I was like, "Hey, That's a photo of real people!" Yes, they fooled me! The picture is that good. Thanks John and please extend the best wishes from me to your family, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Triforce Holiday [T-Shirt]

Here’s the t-shirt Link’s grandma got for him Christmas last year. He hoped she’d forget about it, but no, just last week she asked if he’d be wearing it again this year. He’ll look just wonderful in this Triforce version of the ugly Christmas sweater, and so will you.

Darth Vader Makes For An Awesomely Ugly Christmas Sweater

This is what you’ll see all the Sith Grandmas wearing to Christmas dinner. It’s a holiday scene of Darth Vader decorating his X-Wing and TIE Fighter covered tree, complete with Santa hat. He’s even got lightsabers to set it all aglow and a lovely Death Star tree topper. It’s hideous and wonderful all at the same time.

Krampus Sweater To Scare The Kids Into Behaving This Christmas

Folklore is full of all kinds of wonderful creatures. The Krampus is not one of them. This guy is from German folklore and he’s a demon thing that kidnaps naughty kids, stuffs them in a sack, and takes them back to his lair for dinner. Isn’t that just the most heartwarming Christmas story, ever?
