Video: Batman's Batmobile Monster Truck Freestyle Run at Monster Jam - Anaheim, CA. 1 / 12 / 2008

OK, I'm not a huge fan of Monster Jam but I seriously love the Batman Batmobile Monster Truck!! A friend posted a video on YouTube when he went to the event in California recently & I had to show it. It's very fun to watch. Having a job driving one of those cars must be a blast! Oh yeah, one last thing, watch the large jump he does where he almost eats it!

Vintage 1960's KELLOGG'S FRUIT LOOPS Cereal Box with 1966 BATMAN PERISCOPE Offer!

Something that most of my readers don't know is that, besides being a HUGE Batman Fan & Collector, I also collect Vintage Cereal Boxes. I guess it's the childhood nostalgia & cool retro-graphics, but I really love them & they are extremely hard-to-find! My main focus are the ones from the 1960's & 1970's. Especially the 70's because that's when I was a little kid. But, I even buy some brand-new ones every now & then. Well, you can imagine my surprise when I opened my e-mail this morning & received not one, but two, amazing photos! A reader named James sent some extremely cool pictures ( front & back ) of the super-rare 1966 Kellogg's Fruit Loops Cereal Box with the Special Offer to get a Batman Periscope cereal premium toy!! This is a very RARE mail-away item. Oh my God!! James, are you trying to torture me?! Ha Ha! Thank you for sending these, I really appreciate that. They're totally amazing & the box is in great shape too. The vintage graphics are insane! It totally cracks me up that it cost only 60 cents, ha ha! I guess I should also mention that it's a very early example of Toucan Sam, the cereal's advertising icon mascot....too freakin' sweet! ( I added the screen-cap showing the premium toy from the original TV Commercial ). If any other readers have ANY Batman photos then please send them in. These vintage cereal box photos are an example of what makes Bat-Blog readers special, their ability to share the joy of collecting. Thanks! Oh yeah, James, I hate you for having this box & not me! ( Ha Ha, Just kidding, I kedd, I kedd! )

Batman Batmobile & Joker Jokermobile Artwork By Bubba Shelby!

We have a friend named Eric who does some pretty amazing artwork. He has a "cartoony-style" that is very funny and you can tell he really really loves ALL the Batman characters. He's done Adam West Batman, Comic Book Batgirl, even 1950's Bat-Mite! Shown here are just a few examples. The 1st one is Batman ( Michael Keaton ) in a suped-up Batmobile. It's the car from the 1989 Tim Burton Batman movie. The 2nd picure is a crazy Jokermobile, with The Joker driving it of course. This one is dedicated to Heath ledger ( that's cool ). Both of these remind me of those trading cards with the crazy monsters driving wacked-out hotrods ( I forget the name of those but loved them a s a kid, still do ). Here's a link to see more of his fun artwork.

I love when the little kid says, "Regarde Papa!! La Batmobile", ha ha!

Reference Photos: Vintage 1960's UK Batman Dart Game Toy

I know the Bat-Blog is crazy for trying to cover EVERY single angle of the Dark Knight Pop Culture but our main focus is the love of collecting Vintage Batman Toys, really! This is an example: Here are a series of 3 photos sent in to us by a reader in response to me asking for picture submissions. He asked me to NOT print his name but I still wanna say, "Oh My God, Thank You, Thank You!" This is an amazing & super-RARE piece of Batman Memorabilia!! This is a Vintage 1960's Batman SPIN DART TARGET GAME. It was made by Mettoy ©1966. The graphics on both the original box & the toy itself are incredible. When I opened my e-mail the other day I almost cried, ha ha! It looks like a large round target that is on a tripod-stand & before the shooter tries to get a bullseye, another person will spin the target for more of a challenge. It's sorta like a wacky carnival game but I like to think of it as the most beautiful "Piece of Art" I have ever seen! Not to give away the location of our reader but he did have a UK address so I'm guessing this is a wonderful toy from Great Britain! I love that it has a few very obscure Batman Villains like Blockbuster, Mr Freeze, & Poison Ivy. You usually don't see them like you do the Riddler, Penguin, & Catwoman. OK, again, I want to invite ALL readers with RARE Batman Collectibles to send photos, hell yeah!

Vintage Magazine Print Ad: Julie Newmar / Smirnoff Vodka

MEOW! Here's an extremely sexy Vintage Magazine Print Ad advertising Smirnoff Vodka. It features our, always lovely, Julie Newmar as a very pretty Cowgirl Pin-Up! It sort of reminds me of the art of Alberto Vargas or the classic pose of a George Petty girl. Either way, I know it will make Julie Newmar ( 1966 Catwoman ) Fans drool for hours! HUBBA HUBBA!

2 Cool BATMAN & CATWOMAN Desktop Wallpapers

My friend Josh sent this very interesting Batman Wallpaper & I knew I had to post it right away. It has a "scary look" about it, like some vintage monster movie poster...nice! Thanks Josh. Also, I thought since I was posting 1 wallpaper I should post another so here's a new graphic of Catwoman. It's done in a very 1950's cartoon style. It sort of looks like vintage illustration you would see in a Little Golden Book, very soft & simple. Remember, if you don't like these 2 then there are a ton of others all over the Bat-Blog, check 'em out!
