The BAT-BLOG.COM posts Free BATMAN Wallpapers every Wednesday. But sometimes we just post them randomly... because we're BAT-CRAZY! Speaking of "insanity", these fun backgrounds all have a general theme, THE JOKER!The 1st one is a wonderful pencil sketch done by Alex Ross for his ROUGH JUSTICE: THE DC COMICS SKETCHES Art Book. This book was designed by Chip Kidd & published by Pantheon in 2010. It's a great book for comic book fans so be sure to check it out on your next trip to your favorite book store. This image is on inside of the hardback edition's cover ( You'll need to remove the paper dust jacket to see it, it's cool! ).Next, is another great JOKER image! This is a scene from the brand-new BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game. No, I have not played this game yet & to all of you who have been playing it awhile, I'm jealous, JEALOUS!!
Over at our BAT-BLOG Facebook Page we just met a very serious Batman Collector named Chris who was kind enough to share a few photos of his personal collection. His main focus seems to the THE DARK KNIGHT Movie and more recent Batman stuff. He also really likes the Joker! Hey, who doesn't?! He's got some really great stuff here. My favorite piece is that BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game Store Display Standee with Harley Quinn... Awesome! He also has some cool Movie Posters, Action Figures, Graphic Novels, T-Shirts, and even a JOKER Replica Costume ( Heath Ledger version ) that looks pretty sweeeet! Thanks Chris!!
Here's a very well put together video of our Buddy BatDave having the full "Original 1967 BATMAN MOVIE BAT-COPTER Experience" at the NJ State Fair. Oh yeah, every year Helicopter Pilot, Captain Gene Nock makes a few appearances at various locations with his Famous Bat-Copter. This video was shot to sort of share what it's like. Now, I rode a Bell Helicopter like this once ( but NOT the Bat-Copter ) at my local Oklahoma State Fair and I can say that it's pretty amazing! That huge clear plastic bubble gives you an incredible view and the one I rode had a clear-glass floor! It's the closest way you can experience true flight except for maybe hang gliding or parachuting, ha!
English:Check out this cool promo video for BATMAN LIVE: WORLD ARENA TOUR appearing on Swiss Television!

OK, It might seem like I'm going a little wacky with the "TV Commercial Videos" today but I have a few to share. Plus, they're fun, so here we go! This is a special TV Spot created by Fisher-Price Toys ( Mattel ) for Italian Television. I can't understand what they're saying ( ha ha! ) but it's still cool to see! This new Imaginext BATMAN BATCAVE TOY Play Set looks amazing!
I think I'm losing my mind because I can't remember if I posted this awesome video before, ha! But either way, here's a fun blast from the past! This is the Vintage TV Commercial for the BATMAN RETURNS ( 1992 Movie ) Tiger Handheld LCD Video Game. I actually have a few of these electronic toys in my personal collection. They're so cheesy... but that's what makes them cool!
