Hey, a friend told me about this Bat-Video & I'm wondering how I could have missed it. OMG, it's AWESOME! Basically it's all about the 1966 Batmobile, the real Batman TV & Movie Car! The cool thing is that it's origin story is being told by none other than George Barris, the car's creator! It's pretty cool, check it out!!
Hallmark Stores just released some beautiful photos of their next extremely awesome BATMAN-Themed Christmas Ornaments. The one on the left is called "Batman Takes Flight" and is a more Modern-Day Comic Book version. The 2nd one is the 1966 Batmobile Car from the TV Show which plays the "Batman Theme" Music !! Look for these in Hallmark Stores around July.
Since today is Valentine's Day I thought I would post this photo of an extremely cool "1966 Batmobile Car" BATMAN Birthday Cake made by a very talented Girl named Michelle. She did an amazing job on it. Now I know that a "Birthday Cake" has absolutely nothing to do with Valentine's Day, ha ha! But this cake is so awesome I thought I would post it anyway!
Check out this extremely cool Batman-themed T-Shirt used to promote the San Francisco Fire Department, specifically "Engine 26" in Diamond Heights. The design looks a lot like the opening title graphics for the 1966 BATMAN TV Show. Now, speaking of that TV series, somebody went to a Comic Book Convention where all the actors posed with the T-Shirt. There is Adam West ( Batman ), Burt Ward ( Robin, The Boy Wonder ), Julie Newmar ( Catwoman ), & the 1966 Batmobile Car Designer, George Barris!
Here's some important BATMAN TOYS news! Over at the Auto World Store they are offering an EXCLUSIVE Product that many Batman Toy Collectors might enjoy. They're selling the Polar Lights 1966 Batmobile Car Model Kit 1/32 Scale ( The One in the Embossed Collector Tin ) Autographed by the Designer of the Custom Car, George Barris! Yes, the King of Kustoms!! It looks like the cost is around $63, which isn't too bad. If you wanna check it out & need more info then just click HERE!
Check out this totally crazy RAT FINK Custom Model Kit I saw on eBay the other night, ha ha! It's the 1966 Batmobile Car ( George Barris version ) with RAT FINK as the driver. If you're not familiar with the "Rat Fink" character then let me say he was a "Hot Rod freak" designed by Big Daddy Ed Roth in the 1960's. Both Fink & Roth are a cult heroes to many race car fans around the world. Anyways, I thought this model kit was pretty cool!
I know that some Batman Memorabilia Collectors like to focus on collecting magazines with the Dark Knight on the cover. Well, here are 2 great examples: The 1st one is totally vintage & is also pretty dang RARE! It's the June 1966 issue of HOT ROD Magazine & the cool thing is that they did an exclusive interview with George Barris, the Custom Car Designer who created the Batmobile car for the 1966 Batman TV Show / Movie. I have never seen an actual copy of this in real-life but imagine that it's gotta be very interesting. The next cover is wayyy more recent. OK, it's totally "modern-day" but it's gonna be sort of hard to get because it's sold in the UK. This is a recent issue of 360. It's cover story is about the brand-new BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game. I hope you have enjoyed seeing these. Do you have any RARE Bat-Mags? If so, then please send us some pics, thanks.
