Original 1997 BATMAN AND ROBIN Movie Costume Prop on eBay!

OK, I never post links to eBay auction items but this is a very RARE opportunity to get an actual piece of Batman Movie History! A friend of mine, named Markus, is having his friend in Canada sell an item for him from his movie memorabilia collection because he needs some quick cash. He's selling the original screen-used "Robin - Ice Suit Gloves" that Chris O'Donnell wore in the 1997 Batman and Robin movie by Joel Schumacher. The photos here are of those items & then there's a reference photo showing how they looked in the film. You might remember an older post here where we showed his Batman Cowl & Robin Mask that he also owns. For more info, or to actually bid on this item ( the auction ends on April 20th ), click on ROBIN ICE GLOVES.

Profiles In History Sells Original MR. FREEZE COSTUME PROP From The Batman and Robin Movie

OK, I know that the Batman & Robin movie was not that great, & the Mr. Freeze character in that film was totally lame, but this is "Batman News" so I thought I would post it, ha ha! You might remember awhile back we reported about the cool bat-memorabilia featured in a recent Profiles In History auction. Well, the Mr. Freeze Costume sold for $70,800 dollars! WOW! That totally blows me away. I always wonder who are these super-rich people who can afford to buy this kinda stuff, it must be nice! ( Yeah, I'm poor & bitter ). But Profiles in History always has some really amazing stuff & their website is worth checking out everyday.

Naannaa Naannaaa ...Bat-Babes!

OK, You can thank me later...Here's a photo sent in by a friend named Dave who went to a Car Show & saw these 2 extremely HOT Models! Now, the Batman and Robin costumes shown here are not totally accurate...but who cares!? ( I think I'm in love with the girl on the right, ha ha ). Thanks for sharing these Dave, YOU ROCK, Sir!

Funny Humor Photo: Dogs Dressed in Batman & Robin Costumes

I have a good friend who is known as "Weezee Mule" over at the 1966 Batman Message Board ( his real name is Mike ). It's a nickname he uses & every single time I read it I totally crack-up, ha ha! The other day he sent me some really wonderful photos of his personal Batman Toy Collection, which is completely insane ( there's a ton of great stuff ), & I plan on posting those later, but for right now I wanted to showcase one photo that was sort of different & kind of stood out on it's own. These are his 2 family dogs dressed up like Batman & Robin! I love the expression on their canine faces. They seem sort of embarassed a little bit, ha ha! But they look pretty cool in their outfits & the photo is extremely funny. Now, I did mention he has an awesome toy collection & I'll be sharing those later. You won't want to miss those so please be sure to visit us again real soon for those. Also, I wanna thank Mike for sending all the great pics, I really appreciate that Mr. Weezee Mule!

Bebop And Rocksteady Cosplay Wins It All

Seeing Bebob and Rocksteady costumes is a rare thing, but the duo was spotted at Cos & Effect this year. The bumbling but entertaining pair appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and it looks like the cosplayers put a lot of time and effort into nailing the details - right down to Bebop's sunglasses. Apparently, they participated in the costume contest at the convention, and I hope they at got a ton of applause at the very least because they look fabulous.

Impressive Pepper Potts In Iron Man Armor Cosplay

Even though I have mixed feelings about the fact that Pepper Potts ended up in armor in Iron Man 3, I can't deny that it looked cool. She rocked Tony's suit, and she kicked ass in the brief amount of time she had it on. Cosplayer Tenshi no Sekai has made a spot on version of the R.E.S.C.U.E. Armor, and she looks wonderful in it. I admire anyone who makes her own armor - especially when it's top notch like this.

Australian Batman Fan Creates an Awesome BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Costume!

This morning I got an e-mail from a Bat-Blog Reader who lives in Australia. First off, I gotta say, that I have always loved that country because it just seems like such a cool place to live. I hope I get the chance to go visit there someday. Now, back to the post. Our friend's name is Paul and, besides being a major Batman Fan, he's also into creating cool costumes. So, as a new project, he made this outfit that is fashioned after the version we see in the new BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM Video Game. I gotta say that this thing is pretty impressive! The detailing is great & I think it's pretty accurate too ( Be sure to click on the above photo for a larger, more detailed, version ). Paul, you did a great job on this, very well done. I know this sounds dumb, but my favorite thing is the Bat-Belt...it's awesome! Thank you very much for sending the photo!

NY Yankee's Baseball Team ROOKIE HAZING DAY with Batman Costumes!

Last Sunday, September 20th, the New York Yankee's Baseball Team had their annual "Rookie Hazing Day". I guess it's some kind of tradition or something where they make all the Rookies do stupid stuff, ha ha. Sorry, I'm not really familiar with sports that much but I thought it was great that they made them all dress-up in Batman costumes for the special event!! Just to name a few players: Rookie Pitcher Mark Melancon was Batman, Rookie Shortstop Ramiro Pena as Catwoman, and another Rookie Pitcher, Michael Dunn, dressed as The Riddler. There is also the Joker, The Penguin, etc... But anyway, the costumes are really well done & I think it's fun that they did it. I like their team spirit. I kinda feel sorry for the guy who had to be Catwoman, ha ha. ( Thanks to Gino for sending the link ). For more information about the event & many more pictures to enjoy, please be sure to visit the WFAN website by clicking HERE!

Vintage BATMAN Halloween Costume: Dave as...ROBIN, The Boy Wonder

Here's our good buddy Dave as Robin, The Boy Wonder! These Vintage Photos are from the 1980's, like, totally! Now I'm not sure if these were for a Halloween Party or if Dave dressed like this all the time, Ha Ha! Thanks Dave for sending the cool pics. Now readers, you might remember the post we did awhile back of Dave as the Joker, same guy. Well, later, we're gonna post some of him as the Dark Knight himself, The Batman! So keep an eye out for those. If YOU have any Halloween Costume photos from the past ( or present ) then please send them in ...before it's too late! Happy Halloween Everybody!!

Halloween Costumes: THE BAT AND THE CAT!

Here's an extremely professional-looking photo of our friends Dallas & his lovely Wife. I mean, they must have gone to some Commercial Photography Studio or something! Anyway, the pic is really great & so are the costumes ( Please click on the photo for a larger pic ). This is from Halloween last year when they were Batman ( Modern-Day Comic Book version ) & Catwoman ( artist - Jim Balent ). I have always loved this "Purple Cat-Suit" version of Catwoman but right now I think I am liking it even more, ha ha! Well, both costumes are awesome. I usually put a cheap plastic halloween mask on & I'm ready to go. Looking at this pic you can tell that they are totally serious, that's great! ( Thanks to Dallas & his Wife for sending this to us ).

Vintage 1989 BATMAN AND ROBIN Halloween Costume Photos!

I gotta say that this year Bat-Blog Fans have been totally wonderful about sending us their "Batman Halloween Costume" photos! It's great & I really appreciate it. Some have been about what they're gonna look like this year & others are from the past. I like both a lot but I have to say that I really love the vintage photos the best! I guess because they seem to bring back such fond memories. Anyway, here is our buddy Jason & his Brother Daryl. The year was 1989 & they were totally swept-up in the Batman movie ( Michael Keaton ) craze! Jason was the Dark Knight & Daryl was Robin, The Boy Wonder!! I wanna thank Jason for sending these because they're so awesome! Not just the photos, but the costumes too...very cool!

Gerry's JOKER Costume ( The Dark Knight Movie - Heath Ledger Version )

Since Halloween is over, & many people didn't get dressed-up until then, we have been getting a few photos from Bat-Blog Fans who wore costumes of their favorite Batman characters. That's awesome! Like, just the other night we got these cool pics from our friend Gerry who became The JOKER this year. He chose the "Heath Ledger" version from The Dark Knight movie. Both the costume & make-up are extremely well done but the neat thing was he went to a party that had a Professional Photographer. I like how you guys sort of replicated some famous movie images. Like, when Heath ( as the Joker ) removed his Bank Robber Mask, that's pretty neat. The image with the Joker Playing Card is also a nice tribute. Thanks to Gerry for sending these in. I know a lot of people are gonna really like them.

The BAT-FAMILY Batman Costume Photo Shoot!

Last Halloween our good friends Dallas & Daria went to a fundraiser event dressed as Batman & Catwoman. They also dressed their son Xander as Robin, The Boy Wonder! The costumes were really awesome but the cool thing was that they had their family portrait done by a Professional Photographer. Here are the pics: The 1st one is sort of a regular family snap shot but it's so cool because they're all in costume. Now the 2nd one is my personal favorite because it's a little more creative & very cute. Daria is holding her son up in the air & he's laughing while Dad is proudly looking up at him, very sweet & a clever composition. I think when Xander gets to be a lot older he's going to really cherish all these photos. The last one is pretty good too. It's sort of an "action shot" where everyone is a little more dynamic. Overall they're all really great & so are the costumes. Thanks to the "Bat-Family" for sharing these wonderful photos, Good Job!

Leon's ADAM WEST BATMAN COSTUME DISPLAY Gets a Beautiful Wall Mural!

Hey Bat-Fans, Remember awhile back we posted a few shots of a cool manikin our friend Leon got to display his Custom Adam West Batman Costume? Well, it looks like he extended that project & decided to paint a giant-size Wall Mural has a backdrop! Oh man, it's really cool & they did a great job on it. Basically they used a scene from the animated opening credits of the Classic 1966 TV Series. It's the graphics of Gotham City with the Bat-Signal in the sky. How cool is that!! Here's a few "before, during, & after" shots. Just check out the pics showing it completed, it's great!! Now, Leon has an even cooler Bat-Cave! This is something I wish I had the space for ( Yes, I'm Jealous! Thanks to Leon & Family for sending the fun pics )

Stunning Daenerys Targaryen Cosplay

Daenerys Targaryen is a fabulous character who also happens to have a stylized wardrobe that makes an impression. Her costumes are always a fascinating mix of strength and softness, and this dress from season two is a perfect example. It has flowing fabric but also a metal belt that resembles armor. Cosplayer Aigue-Marine embodies the Game of Thrones character, and it looks like she got the details of this dress just right.

ROBIN ( Jason Todd ) Seen on CBS TV Game Show, Ha!

This is going to fit into "Weird & Wacky Bat-News" but it's kinda fun so follow me here. A friend of the Bat-Blog, named Travis, was channel surfing the other day & couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a guy on TV dressed as a beaten and bloodied Robin/Jason Todd! But he managed to sneak a screen shot so check out the pic! Yes! That's Jason Todd, AFTER being beaten by The Joker with a Crowbar!! Good eye Travis. Now, for people who want to see the entire episode, it's online for a limited time at the CBS website. This is the show that aired on April 15th, just click HERE! Oh yeah, as a side note, I think the "Hawaiian Girl" is kinda cute, ha!

Little Girl Proves Stormtroopers Look Good In Pink [Cosplay]

This girl isn't too short to be a Stormtrooper, and she's not the wrong color either. She was spotted on Friday of San Diego Comic-Con, and she is too precious for words. My favorite parts of the ensemble are the flower on the helmet paired with the big ol' prop gun. Well played.

Thanks for the tip, Stephanie! Send your cosplay pics to tips@fashionablygeek.com.

Spooky Bellatrix Lestrange Cosplay

Did anyone else find Bellatrix Lestrange almost as scary as Lord Voldemort? She was unpredictable and therefore terrifying - plus she had the crazy hair and wild eyes. Well, cosplayer Lizchen-R nails the nutty witch's look. She did a great job with the dress, hair, and the makeup is eerie. If I saw her, I'd walk in the opposite direction.
