Hey Kiddos! It's Wednesday so you know what time it is... "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"!! We have some great stuff this week so let's get to it. The 1st one is a Batman background with a simple color palette. Basically, it's comic book style graphics ( line art ) in 2 shades of blue, Nice! This was submitted by our friend Galen, who, I think colored it. Either way it's pretty awesome! The next wallpaper is a publicity photo for the BATMAN LIVE World Arena Tour. There hasn't been much news or hype about this UK event lately so I thought this image would be fun!
I know 2012 is a long time away but we just got some news about a very cool set of 2012 Batman 16-Month Wall Calendars that will be available soon. The 1st one is inspired by the BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game. The 2nd one will be loved by Fans of the GOTHAM CITY SIRENS Comic Book Series. You know these lovely girls: Catwoman, Poison Ivy, & Harley Quinn... MEOW! The cool thing is that both of these Calendars will also come with some FREE Digital Material you can download to your computer ( Basically, it will be an Electronic Calendar Widget for your desktop ). Now, I don't know which one of these I'm going to get yet, maybe both, ha! I mean, both Calendars look pretty cool & it's hard to decide. If you would like to pre-order them & save 20% then please use the link button down below.
I can't remember how I came across the ART of Mark Dos Santos website but I'm glad I did! His artwork is pretty cool & as an example look at this parody of an old "Saturday Evening Post" Magazine Cover featuring The Joker & Harley Quinn. It's titled "The Gotham Evening Post", hilarious! To check out more of his amazing graphics just click HERE!
We're excited! The Bat-Blog just got some awesome new photos showing the costumes and set design for the UK stage show of BATMAN LIVE WORLD ARENA TOUR!! They were very large pics so I decided to offer them as super-fun BATMAN LIVE WALLPAPERS you can use to brighten your desktop's background. All the photos are pretty much self-explanatory! The 1st one shows the costumes for some of the characters: The Joker, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Batman, Robin, Riddler, The Penguin, & Poison Ivy. The next wallpaper features just Batman and Robin, but it shows a lot of details to their costume design. Last, but not least, the final photo shows what the "Gotham City" Set Design of the Stage will look like. So, which costume is your favorite?
YES! FINALLY! We finally get some decent press coverage from the BATMAN LIVE World Tour Show that will start in the UK & then arrive later in the US. Oh yeah, Featured in these 4 Video Clips: We get to see the Set Design, an Animation Sample for the Stage Video Screen, a CG representation of Harley Quinn's Carnival & also Wayne Manor ( with a very small teaser of the Bat-Cave ), and then the very last video shows all the Actors & their Costumes! Oh man, everything looks really really AWESOME!! I think this show is going to be incredible!
Check out this extremely cool Custom HARLEY QUINN ( Batman ) Car! It's owned by a Bat-Blog Fan named Jennifer. It's a totally pimped-out 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT. I'm totally loving the giant-size Harley Quinn graphic on the side, sweet! I got to know Jennifer on facebook ( Thanks Jen, for sending the cool pic ) & if you would like more information about her custom ride then please check out her car's special page, just click HERE!
The amazing artwork you're enjoying right here was totally stolen from an Artist's website that I respect, ha! The Art Site is called MISTERHIPP and basically it's the visual diary of a cool Graphic Artist named Dan Hipp. He does a lot of work with Graphic Novels. His artwork has appeared in DC Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Tokyopop, and Del Rey Books.So, what do you think about his work? Pretty cool, huh!
I always crack-up every time I see Harley Quinn with her giant-mallet hammer, ha! It's Classic! Well, some news from DC Direct shows us this brand-new DC UNIVERSE ONLINE STATUE of HARLEY QUINN based on the comic book art of Jim Lee. Now of course we're talking about the DCU Online Video Game. This is a nice series of statues with a lot of Batman-related characters. It's hand-painted, cold-cast in porcelain and measuring approximately 7" high x 4 1/2" wide x 3 3/4" deep. It will be a Limited Edition Statue, with an estimated retail price of $90.00, and will go on sale around November 16th, 2011.
Here's an exclusive look at the BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game and it's totally GREAT! See the Dark Knight in action with this brand new gameplay trailer for the exciting sequel. It features the song, "This Ain't No Place for a Hero". We also get wonderful views of Hugo Strange, the Joker, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, & more! Oh man, this new game just keeps looking better & better!!
Here's one of those "Cinematic Motion Comic" Promo Videos for the DC Universe Online Video Game. This one features HARLEY QUINN & she's crazy in love with the Joker! To make it they used Batman comic book artwork by Jim Lee, a bonus!
In the recent issue of Snippets Magazine ( Issue # 23 ) they posted an in-depth interview with The Joker's Girlfriend, Harley Quinn! Here's a link to check it out, just click HERE!
Every week, here at the Bat-Blog, we love to celebrate "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday"! That's when we post a few FREE Batman Wallpapers to brighten your desktop. Well, this time we're gonna focus on a few Batman Super-Villains. Here are HARLEY QUINN, the Joker's Girlfriend, and BANE! Please be sure to share these with all your friends.

Here's a room that all Batman Fans would love to live in. These pics were sent in to us by a friend over at Facebook. His name is David & he says that this is the room where he does a lot of artwork. You can see his Drawing Table over in the corner. There are some really cool pieces of Batman stuff laying around ( Toys, Statues, Books, etc... ) but, of course, the main focus of the room are the wall murals. There are 2 major themes here: Heroes and Villains. For the "Heroes Wall" we get Batman, Robin, Batgirl, and Nightwing on a rooftop in Gotham City. It's done in the graphic art style of "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" animated series. Then, we get some Villains: Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, The Joker, Harley Quinn, Clayface, & Mr. Freeze. They're all hanging out in front of Arkham Asylum! The artwork here is very well done. Overall the room is extremely excellent! A special thanks goes out to David for sharing his personal space. We totally love this room!
The Javits Center in New York City was bustling this week with some of the coolest and most unusual collectible action figures and statues at the 2011 TOY FAIR. Among them, DC Direct displayed some their newest products. Shown here are the DCU Online MMO figures of THE JOKER and HARLEY QUINN ( These look pretty awesome! ). Plus, speaking of Harley, we also get to see the Harley Quinn Figure from the new BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Action Figure Series ( Video Game Version ).
Warner Bros. Entertainment and Rocksteady Studios recently release some brand-new screenshot photos from their BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game for all of us to drool over, ha! A few of these feature a look at THE JOKER'S FUN HOUSE, or Joker & Harley Quinn's hideout. Design-wise everything looks gritty & dirty... cool!
Here are some brand-new images released by Warner Bros Interactive & Rocksteady Games for their new BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Video Game. Of course we get to see a few Batman Villains here: Hugo Strange & Joker's Girlfriend, Harley Quinn... AWESOME!
OK, This post is kinda weird & sorta cool, all at the same time. Our friend lee was watching TV recently & saw this Harley Quinn Tattoo on a large SUMO Wrestler! The artwork is actually pretty good & it's cool he's a Batman Fan. This was shown on the Spike TV Show, "Manswers".
Here are some pictures that have been heavily circulating around the Internet. They are Concept Art for an idea for a new animated TV Show called GOTHAM HIGH. Basically, it's the entire World of Batman as teenagers. Yes, teenagers, ha! You have Bruce Wayne, Barbara Gordon, The Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, The Penguin, Clayface, Two-Face, Bane, etc... I have to admit the artwork is very good and the character's quirks & personalities are all caught pretty well ( Be sure to click on the 1st image for a large, more detailed, photo ). But, personally, I'm extremely happy that this never got off the ground. Now, some people have said that if it did get green-lit that it would have been fun... because it's such a train wreck. Plus, one friend said he would have liked to have seen the Action Figures made from this show because the character designs are kinda neat. What do you think?
