A loyal Bat-Blog Reader named Duane sent us this awesome photo & here's what he had to say about it, "Hi. Here's an animation cel I bought from the Warner Bros Store in Columbus, Ohio back in the 90s. It's from the episode: Harlequinade." Thank you Duane, this is a very beautiful piece of ART! Is this in response to us asking people to please send a photo of an original WB animation cel if you have one? Either way, thanks! Harley Quinn is one of my favorite characters from that series. Actually ALL the characters in that show are my favorites, ha ha! That show was so amazing. I just saw an episode the other day & it isn't "dated" or anything. It still holds up today & will for a long time to come, it's that "timeless" & classic.
In response to a previous post made today about a piece of "Heath Ledger Tribute Art" by Jim Lee a Bat-Blog Reader from Italy wrote, "Hi, I'm an Italian reader of the Bat-Blog. I've seen the great tribute by Jim Lee to Heath Ledger and I think you may appreciate this tribute by Massimo Carnevale, cover artist for Y The Last Man, Northlanders, and a lot more. Bye, Bapho. P.S. Sorry for my English, I know it sucks a bit :)" Ha Ha, No Bapho, your English is very very good & we sincerely appreciate you sending us this very beautiful piece of art, it's wonderful. Please tell your artist friend that he has done an incredible tribute. Thank You.
The famous comic book artist known as JIM LEE is a favorite of most Batman Fans for his work on this classic character. He's an extremely talented artist but the great thing is that he's also a pretty cool, down to earth, guy! Recently, at his personal blog, he posted a picture he had drawn as a gift to Heath Ledger that was a birthday gift to him & for getting the Joker role. ( Be sure to click on the graphic for a much larger, more detailed, photo ). He posted it has sort of a tribute with "RIP" labeled under the graphic. It's an awesome drawing of the Joker with the inscription, "For Heath, Happy Birthday GO NUTS! HA HA, Jim Lee 2007". Heath was know as being a very good person & it's nice to see how so many people cared. This post goes out to you Heath, R.I.P.
At the MTV Movie Blog they have a video clip from a recent interview by Shawn Adler with Katie Holmes. He asks her if she has any regrets giving up The Dark Knight for "Mad Money" ( a bank heist comedy with Queen Lateefa & Diane Keaton ) and she replies, " Not at all. I had a great experience working with Christopher Nolan & she's sure it will be uh, a great movie and I chose to do this movie...". You can see the interview at MTV Movie Blog, click the icon below.

From all the e-mails we're getting we know that a lot of Heath Ledger Fans are really hurting. This makes us very sad, but we have to remember to honor those have have passed away. Today, our good friend Dave sent us this very nice "Batman Heath Ledger Tribute" Desktop Wallpaper he made as a way to honor him. Heath Ledger is best known as an actor, movie star, idol, or whatever. But it's important to remember that he was also a really great guy. Ya know, right now the media are all talking about his role as Ennis in Brokeback Mountain but after they see how great he is in The Dark Knight, as The Joker, they're all gonna change their tune. Thank you Dave for sending this. I know all of his fans will really appreciate this, I do.
The Warner Bros viral-marketing website for The Dark Knight Batman movie, called WHYSOSERIOUS.COM, did a small Heath Ledger Tribute. They placed a black ribbon on the main page. Then, when you click a "hidden button" ( just right of the x-acto knife ) the page burns away to reveal a photo of The Joker. The ribbon stays there though & is right next to his face.

OK, awhile back a reader sent me an awesome photo of the Pop Artist Andy Warhol dressed up in costume as Robin, The Boy Wonder. It also featured the German singer NICO dressed as Batman. Ha Ha, it was great! ( Thanks Deb ). But then recently another reader, named John ( known as "A. Pennyworth" to his friends. "A" of course stands for Alfred, Bruce Wayne's butler ), sent us a ton of great vintage photos from his personal Bat-Photo Archives! It appears that the original pictures were from a 1967 fashion shoot layout in Esquire Magazine. The pictures are very cool even if you're not an Andy Warhol Fan, ha ha! Thank you John for sending us the photos. I really appreciate that. Having Batman Fans get involved in this blog is what makes it great. If any other readers have anything to share then please do.

I'm still kind of in shock about the news of Heath Ledger's death but I thought it would be a good idea to try to get back to normal. So, I decided to try to sort of keep myself busy so I can think about other things. Just before receiving this shocking news I was working on these 4 desktop wallpapers with a "Lego Batman: The Videogame" theme so I'm gonna post them now. Basically they're Lego characters from the video game: The Joker ( close-up), Batman, Robin, & The Joker ( Full Figure ). They also have the cool Lego logo. I don't wanna dwell on the sad news about Heath Ledger & hope these New Batman Wallpapers bring some smiles to people, they are kinda funny, ha ha! I think they would make a great background for a MySpace layout because when the game comes out it will be extremely popular.
Ya know, every Wednesday we post some FREE Batman Wallpapers & usually they're kinda wacky or fun but because of events that happened yesterday I thought I should post a few pictures, that can be used as backgrounds, but are also a tribute to Heath Ledger. The 1st one is a photo taken at a dinner during the filming of The Dark Knight. He's shown here with Christian Bale & the funny thing is Christian looks pretty wasted! Good times, good times. The next one is a very simple black & white photo. We hope people enjoy these graphics. RIP Heath, You were both a great actor & a very nice person. You will be missed.
