BATMAN DESKTOP BACKGROUNDS "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"

Yeah, it's my favorite time of the week...Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday! But this time I am proud to say that both "Batman Wallpapers" presented here were donated by two Bat-Blog Readers named Bacon & Andrew. The first one, made by Bacon, uses an image from the recent "52" comic book series where Batman temporarily becomes a Green Lantern. This "character" became so popular that DC even made an action figure of him. Yeah, like they don't make a figure of every "Batman" that's ever existed anyway, ha ha! ( Thanks Bacon for another awesome background. This "theme" was really unexpected & very cool ). The next one was done by our friend Andrew. Actually he used an original black & white artwork drawn by Norm Breyfogle & then he colored it. Like most Batman Fans Andrew really loves the comic book artist Breyfogle & did this sort of as an homage. The main focus of this art is Catwoman. It's a great image because she looks like a classic pin-up girlie...MEOW! ( Great job on the coloring Andrew & Thank You ).

  1. That Green Lantern Batman is from 52. I found this on glspotlight.blogspot.com:

    Now the Green Lantern Batman wasn't something quickly shown and then forgotten. It was revealed in Countdown: Arena that a Bruce Wayne from another Earth not only took on the mantel of Green Lantern following the death of Hal Jordan. He excelled in it. A protector of Sector 2814, the Green Lantern Batman used his light to take away the darkness in his Gotham City. Now, while that Batman took on the mantel of Green Lantern. Following the formation of the Sinestro Corps, a yellow power ring sought out Bruce Wayne and told him he had the ability to instill great fear and made him a rookie member of the Sinestro Corps. However, due to Batman's exposure to the Green Lantern ring he was able to over power the Sinestro Corps power ring with his will power. The ring quickly left Bruce and sought out Amon Sur who would become the representative of the Sinestro Corps for Sector 2814. This incident is also what tipped Hal Jordan and John Stewert to the Sinestro Corps and the upcoming war with them. Now in another reality, Bruce Wayne embraced the Sinestro Corps ring and became an even darker knight to clean up Gotham City. It was never expanded on.
