The next TV Series episode of BEWARE THE BATMAN (#4) is titled, “Safe”, and it airs this Saturday, August 3rd, 2013, at 10:00am ET (9:00 Central, Please check your local listings). The Video Clip Trailers for the TV show are down below:
THE BASIC PLOT:
Introducing the prototype of his newest product to the world – the Ion Cortex, a device capable of solving the world’s energy crisis – Bruce Wayne hires brilliant scientist Dr. Jason Burr (MATTHEW LILLARD) to work on the project. The announcement also draws the attention of one of the most dangerous groups in the world – the League of Assassins. When one of the League’s deadly assassins, Silver Monkey (JAMES REMAR), attacks Wayne Manor to kidnap Burr while Batman’s in Gotham, it’s up to Alfred and Katana to keep the assassin at bay until Batman’s return. But Katana is armed and ready for the task – with her legendary Soultaker Sword, a weapon she stole from the infamous League of Assassins!

The next brand-new episode ( #4 ) of
BEWARE THE BATMAN is titled, “SAFE”, and it airs this Saturday, August 3rd, 2013, at 10:00am ET ( 9:00 Central ). It looks like they are
introducing another new Bat-Villain to the show! This is pretty cool!
So, to celebrate here are a few BATMAN WALLPAPERS that I created this
morning just so you can brighten your PC Desktop. Enjoy. Oh yeah, here's
some MORE!
We just got done doing a report on a few brand-new "Classic 1966 Batman TV Series" Toys and Collectibles that will be hitting the stores later this year. Then, sort of last minute, I came across this photo of another piece of Bat-Merchandise.
This is a pair of Bobble-Head Nodders in the form of Adam West and Burt Ward's BATMAN and ROBIN, THE BOY WONDER. The Advertising Plaque says they can be displayed sitting on a shelf or hung on the wall. In fact, their bases look like a "building". This is the iconic "scaling a wall" scene that used to appear on the show.
Now, I'm not exactly sure of the toy company making these but from their "look" and the fact they're calling them "Head Knockers", I'm guessing these will be made by NECA. We'll have to see. The Plaque also reads, "Coming October 2013".
OK, for the 1 or 2 people who don't know what "SDCC" means, it's the "San Diego Comic Con". Our good friend, John Whitt, who is also a very excellent BATMAN Cosplayer, went to the event and took some great pics that he was also kind enough to share with us right now. You can see him in the very first photo up above. He said he was walking by the NECA TOYS Booth when all of a sudden somebody said something like, "Hey, can you come over here a second so I can take a pic?".
John did, and then the guy walked him over to a display case that had their brand-new "BATMAN Adam West Figure and took it out! How funny, what a great story. Plus, he got to hold a toy no body else has got to touch (jealous!).
Then, while roaming around the show John came across some other "Classic 1966 BATMAN" items that he (and us too) have never seen yet.
First up is this amazing "ADAM WEST" Hallmark Christmas Ornament for 2014. It's Adam West as he appeared on the cover to a 1960's TIME Magazine ( we found a pic of that publication to show as an example ). It's a very famous pose and this image is also, actually, very iconic. Cool!
Then, in another booth, he also saw this brand-new "Classic BATMAN TV" Statue that will be coming out in the Winter of 2014. It's a large bust of Adam West as he appeared on the show. It's gonna have a retail price of about $70.00. Plus, I totally love it!
(Thanks John for sharing these great products and your funny story too).
This post is mostly a shout-out for a good friend of ours named Christopher Franchi. He's a Graphic Artist living in Detroit who has branched out into broadcasting and now has a show called, "Radio Franchi". It airs every WEDNESDAY NIGHT from 7:00 to 9:00pm EST for the latest live show, and then you can hear the replay on FRIDAYS at 11:00am EST. It will also be available soon on their official website later as a free download. You can check that out by clicking this link right here, RADIO FRANCHI.
OK, Now here's the deal. Here is how this post is "Batman-related". Like I said, Chris is a Graphic Artist and he is running a contest with his Radio Show where they're giving away one of his Classic 1966 BATMAN TV Series Art Prints. Yes, you can see it up above in the graphic, on the left. The artwork is totally amazing!! Also, it measures about 17" X 22" so it's a very large-sized print, very nice. You can see it in slightly better detail if you click on the above graphic for a larger version.
As a side-note: I would like to mention that Christopher also designed the BAT-BLOG.COM Header up top that you see every day.
Anyway, the contest rules go sort of like this:
Listen to the RADIO FRANCHI episode on July 31st, 2013 and sometime between 7:00 and 9:00 you will be prompted to call-in to the show. Once you're on, you will be asked a Batman Trivia question, and if you get the answer right, then you're a Winner! Yes, it's that easy... so, Good Luck!
Just listen at RAWRADIOX.COM and call (313) 462-0107.
Just a quick post to share this fun photo I came across the other day. This is what the Voice Actors for the brand-new BEWARE THE BATMAN TV Animated Series, who play the voices of Batman/Bruce Wayne and Alfred the Butler, look like! Their names are JB Blanc ( Alfred - Left ) and Anthony Ruivivar ( Batman - Right ).
The next TV Series episode of BEWARE THE BATMAN (#3) is titled, “Tests”, and it airs this Saturday, July 27th, 2013, at 10:00am ET (9:00 Central, Please check your local listings). The Video Clip Trailers for the TV show are down below:
THE BASIC PLOT:
A new villain has come to town to challenge Batman for control of Gotham City: Anarky (WALLACE LANGHAM). Resembling a ghost image of Batman, Anarky prides himself on his brilliance – and intends to prove it to Batman by manipulating a pair of unsuspecting pawns to do his bidding. But Anarky’s real plan is far more devastating: seeking to create a disaster seen by all of Gotham and proving once and for all that even the great Batman is powerless to protect his fair city from the clutches of Anarky.

Check out this great fan-made video featuring the Dark Knight's famous signature line, "I'm Batman", delivered by some of the actors who have played him over the years. The editing is awesome and it's also pretty fun to listen to!
BATMAN TOY COLLECTOR NEWS - The other day the MEGO MUSEUM website revealed that the 3rd wave of figures from the Figures Toy Co. will include a Removable Cowl Batman, Removable Mask Robin, Removable Cowl Batgirl, and... the well-trusted Butler, Alfred Pennyworth! Wow! Alfred is gonna be a "Mego Doll", AWESOME!!
There is no exact release date set yet but stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG for all your Batman Toy Collecting info! Hey, once we know, YOU know!
Just a quick report on the BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS Video Game. The current issue of XBOX MAGAZINE has an incredible cover of the Joker! Also, inside, they released the news of a new villain to the game, the Mad Hatter!! Don't believe us? Well, check out the cool pic down below! (Click on it for a larger version)
While goofing around on Facebook the other day I came across these totally hilarious "Batman Minions" homemade figures. They are a parody of those characters from the "Despicable Me" movie.They were created by an Artist named Nicole and you can check them out by clicking RIGHT HERE!
Oh yeah, since I mentioned Facebook, I should say that the BAT-BLOG has an Official Fan Page there and we want to invite everyone (that includes YOU) to JOIN!! So, come get involved in the fun! Just, CLICK HERE!
It's been awhile since I posted some BATMAN WALLPAPERS so here we go! Well, the main reason I was inspired to do so was because a Bat-Blog Fan, named Pat, sent us this one he made that is sort of a parody of the movie poster for the classic film, Escape From Alcatraz. Except, he put the Joker from the Dark Knight movie instead... cool!!
Then, for "something new", I thought I'd post this image of Batman driving his Batmobile with extreme intensity! Yes, this is from the current BEWARE THE BATMAN animated series that is on the Cartoon Network right now.
Hey, I hope you enjoy both these wallpapers and use them to brighten the background on your desktop! If not, please be sure to check the BAT-ARCHIVES located at the lower left-side of this page for a TON of other Batman-themed Wallpapers!
Imagine ...
... The Bat Signal is flashing! Batman gets the message at the Batcave and the crime fighting begins! Equipped with all sorts of gadgetry, the Imaginext Batcave has a mechanical claw to work on the Batcycle, a secret entrance, a turnstile, a telescope and more! All you have to do is turn your Batman figure on the disk to reveal them or activate them!
Plus, there's a Bat Signal that really lights up, and a launcher that lets you fire projectiles at the enemy! Add them to your collection of DC Super Friends™ for lots of bat-tastic adventures! Includes Batcave and Batman figure.
OK, there are TWO great things about this photo and one of them I'm really proud of. First, we finally get to see what Moebius Models is doing with their brand-new line of Classic 1966 BATMAN TV Series Model kits.
Here, they show the Adam West figure. Oh man, this thing is a total Art Masterpiece!! I would have killed for this model when I was a little kid, ha!
Then, speaking of "Art Masterpiece", check out (to the right), the original BOX ART that was done by our good friend Christopher Franchi. Please click on the pic here for a larger, sharper, version.
Yeah, we know the guy who did this art. (He created the super-awesome BAT-BLOG HEADER that you see at the top of this page!!) His artwork is extremely detailed and always professionally well done. In fact, this box art is so amazing that it's kind of a shame that they will add all sorts of bar codes and lettering all over it later, ha ha! All kidding aside, the finished product will probably look great too.
The only product details we have right now is that it will come out in the last quarter of 2013 and will have a Suggested Retail Price of about $32.99.
Also, Stay tuned to the Bat-Blog and we'll keep you posted on more Model Kits that are coming out!
Finally!! Here is a photo showing what the Classic 1966 BATMAN TV Show HEROCLIX Figures and '66 Batmobile Toy Car are gonna look like!! It also shows the special Window-Box Packaging for the Car, which is kinda cool. Of course there will be a Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder set of figures but it looks like they have plans to make a ton of Super-Villains as well!!
Here's the list so far: The Joker, Egghead, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, and even Shame. Is that him? It's hard to tell but the toy figure in this pic does look just like a "Cowboy Guy". Wow! Now how obscure is that?!
WOW! This year's 2013 San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) revealed a lot of great Batman Toys and Merchandise that we can all hunt down later. Well, those of us who are not broke, ha! Mattel has plans to make what they are calling the "Movie Masters Epic Creations DC Classic TV Series BATMAN Utility Belt".
It's release date is around the Fall of 2013 and will be available ONLY on the MattyCollector.Com website and will retail for about $110.00.
Basically, it's a replica of the YELLOW BAT-BELT worn by Adam West on the 1966 TV Show. It also looks like it comes with a Batarang too!
Check out this special Limited-Edition Art Print spotlighting the Classic Batman TV Series by artist Tom Whalen. It features Batman (Adam West), Robin the Boy Wonder (Burt Ward), The Joker, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, The Penguin, the Riddler and the Vintage 1966 Batmobile Car!
It measures about 18” x 24" and is a Numbered Screen Print Ltd Ed of 350. It retails for about $60.00 and they come in two different color variations that you can view by clicking RIGHT HERE!
Also, this would make an excellent gift idea for my birthday, which is in January, so you have plenty of time to save some money!
Hey Kids! Yeah, the Bat-Blog has a lot of readers who are not only serious Batman Fans but they're parents as well. So, I thought it would be nice to post a few DC Comics' BEWARE THE BATMAN Coloring Pages so you can keep those little kids busy! (You're welcome)
Now, I guess you could enlarge the few examples I have posted here down below, print them out, and they could color those. But, if you want some that are way more higher quality and a few more choices, then please CLICK HERE to download a FREE PDF FILE you can print out.
Enjoy!
The new episode of BEWARE THE BATMAN is titled, "Secrets", and it aired this Saturday, July 20th, 2013, at 10:00am ET (9:00 Central). I meant to post this last night but I fell asleep and then didn't get a chance to do so until later today, arggh! I apologize for this news getting out late. I've been so stressed out lately and only getting about 3 hours of sleep each night for awhile, ugh! Next week I will have this material out early, I promise.
But check it out, here was the BASIC PLOT:
Batman is hot on the heels of an extremely clever and dangerous thief named Magpie (GREY DELISLE), who not only sports razor sharp talons laced with poison and an invulnerability to pain, but she also steals the memories of her victims. But Batman is not the only one on her trail. Lieutenant James Gordon (KURTWOOD SMITH) is after her as well...and the two will ultimately go head-to-head to catch that thief.

They just released a new TRAILER featuring the wicked Super-Villain, COPPERHEAD! Check it out!
OK, this is just a quick post to share this awesome cosplay photo that appeared on the DC Comics website. But I gotta say that I think that guy who is playing BATMAN (Adam West version, of course) is my friend Scott. I gotta ask him later, I'm about 66% sure it's him, ha! Either way it's a great costume and the ROBIN, THE BOY WONDER suit is extremely cool as well!
Anyways, this photo was taken at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) which is going on this weekend. Yes, like right now... I'm SO bummed out I couldn't go this year, arrggh!
Hey, if any Bat-Blog Fans out there got to go and took some great "Batman-related" pics, then please PLEASE share them with us!!
Here's a fun set of photos that was recently posted over at the BBC TOPGEAR website. This is a TV show on British UK Television that does reviews on new vehicles coming out. They also do a great job at sharing their love of Automobila. Here's a great example:
Check out this totally customized Ford F-150 Truck they came across that was inspired by George Barris' 1966 BATMAN TV Batmobile!! For a second or two you might think it's mostly just a special paint job, but wait a minute, check out those TAIL FINS on the back! Way cool! Yes, I would totally drive this ;)
Hey, for more information about this truck and the TV series then just please CLICK HERE!
Oh man, look at these fresh photos from the 2013 San Diego Comic Con! They were shot at the HOT TOYS Toy Company Booth where they are showcaseing some of thier new toy lines coming out. Yes, as reported here at the BAT-BLOG many times, they have plans to (later this year) start releasing toy figures and vehicles based on the Classic 1966 BATMAN TV Series!
Here's some pics showing the BATMAN (Adam West) and ROBIN, THE BOY WONDER (Burt Ward) Figures. We also get a pretty good look at the 1966 BATMOBILE Car! Be sure to click on it for a larger version.
Stay tuned to the Bat-Blog, once we get some more pics coming in we'll be posting them.
Here's a quick shout-out for serious Batman Fans who will be going to the 2013 San Diego Con this weekend. The legendary Comic Book Artist Neal Adams will be appearing again and this time he is in Booth #1829!
He said he has a lot of new pieces for the show, stuff like: a Thor and Hercules Cover for Marvel. A Galactus Cover titled, "Hunger" and a cool X-Men Comic Book Cover too.
He also said he will have an (8) page Batman/Zombie story for DC all done in illustrative pencil. A Special project cover for Valiant and a WALKING DEAD cover which he is selling prints and giclee's of.
Of course he will be signing everybody's comics so please remember to visit and have a great time!
One last thing, Neal Adams will be in two panels at 2013 SDCC:
Friday 1:00 to 2:00 Room # 4 -
A talk about a Disney project that Neal and Continuity worked on.
Saturday 11:45 Rom # 6BCF -
"QUICK DRAW", Neal will appear with Sergio Aragones and Scott Shaw to compete against the best at being funny and fast.
Here's a quick post to share some amazing artwork we're pretty proud of. This drawing was done by our friend Drew Kristoff. We imagine that it probably took hours to do, ha! I mean, click ON the picture so you can see the crazy detail that went into those buildings, it's almost photo-realistic!
He said he was inspired by the idea of a Batman in the 1930's. This is why it has a "grainy black and white photo" look.
Great Job Drew, and thanks for sharing.
Check out this totally insane BATGIRL COWL made by our good friends, REEVZ Costumes and Sculpture! They just opened a fan page on Facebook where they share their creative goodness. This company makes all kinds of TV, Movie, & Superhero inspired items... all really great stuff!
Oh yeah as a side-note, here is the always lovely and ultra-beautiful Cosplayer, Natascha Jones, modeling their "Batgirl Cowl". See, it's AWESOME!
So, please be sure to visit their FB site, just CLICK HERE!
Here's a quick post to share this wonderful photo sent in by a Fan of the Bat-Blog. He said he found this brand-new "Costume" T-Shirt of THE JOKER at his local Wal-Mart and he had to buy it. Yes, we think it's really cool too!! (Thanks Dude!)
OK, for the 1 or 2 curious BAT-BLOG Readers out there who don't know what "SDCC" stands for, it's the "San Diego Comic Con". This event, also known as 2013 SDCC, happens this weekend... actually it starts on Thursday, July 18th and runs until Sunday. DC Comics and Warner Bros will both be there and this year they have a special promo give-away that every serious Batman Fan is gonna want to get their hands on. I love the color photo of Adam West and Burt Ward! Then they did an "Andy Warhol-inspired" treatment on Cesar Romero's Joker!
This year they have a special "Classic 1966 BATMAN TV Series" Backpack (or "Goodie Bag, as some people call them) that also comes with a special CAPE! Yes, you read that right, they put a removable "cape" on it! Don't believe me? Just look at the pic down below, ha!
While surfing the Internet the other night i came across this exclusive promo video clip from the new BEWARE THE BATMAN animated TV Series. It shows the Bat-Cave in really great detail, especially the way the Bat-Computer is set-up! We also get a great view of the new Batmobile Car and the "new" Alfred as well.
OK, only one episode has been out so far (last Saturday) and I'm still holding on to my personal opinion about this show for a little while. What I'm doing is giving the creative team there a chance to show what they got. I'm hopeful that this new show will turn out to be really good. So far, I have to admit that even though there are a few tiny things I don't like, that it is pretty interesting. Well see. I think it's only going to improve.
