VIDEO - Egyptian BATMAN "MATNAM" PARODY CARTOON - GCI Animation

Check out this video sent to us by our good friend Myret who lives in Egypt. It's an Egyptian CGI-animated cartoon parody of Batman called "MATNAM"! It's not in English, so it's a little hard to understand, but still fun to watch.

The basic story revolves around the fact that Gotham City has become very advanced technologically and crimes are done via the internet and there's no old fashion criminals, no fighting, no nothing, so Batman becomes frustrated and starts to think that he doesn't have a purpose and that he can't help anybody anymore. Then, he gets an idea to go to a less developed country, a third world country, "Egypt" and try to help there. The funny part is he has to go through all the red tape in the Egyptian bureaucracy. First, he can't get his plane through customs and his car gets hit so he has to borrow a tiny 2 wheel car and so on. ( Thanks Myret! )

BATMAN AND ROBIN NEWS - Movie Ad Spotted in Egypt!

Here's an extremely awesome set of photos sent in by a Bat-Blog Fan all the way from Egypt! Yes, Egypt! His name is Myret & he wrote,

"Here are some pics I took in downtown Cairo of a building that has an advertisement of the "Batman and Robin" movie on it's side. It's been up since 1997, so it's a little bit rough around the edges, but it's still cool. The translation of what is written is "NOW IN ALL CINEMAS IN CAIRO AND ALEXANDRIA - BATMAN AND ROBIN!"

WOW! Thank you so much Myret for sending this, it's totally GREAT! The fact that this wall mural ad has existed all this time & has never been painted-over is very cool news. I totally love this!

BATMAN Promotional Food Products...From Egypt!!

OK, I gotta say upfront that this is a post I am very proud of. You see, I just recently got an e-mail from a Batman Fan who lives in Egypt! Yes, EGYPT...How cool is that?! Her name is Myret & she says she has loved the Dark Knight since she was around 9 years old. She is now 23. She was also kind enough to send some great photos of a few pieces of Batman-related merchandise she has found in her country. The 1st two photos relate to a Batman Food Product called "Halwani FUN Sausages". They are a Meat Snack & the box says, "They're Ready To Eat!" She said that as a free premium inside you get the Set of Batman Playing Cards that are shown in the 2nd picture. WOW, a whole deck! The last photo shows 2 Bags of Potato Chips that she said are a lot like ( American ) Cheetos. Now, their special premium prize were some Batman & Robin ( comic book version ) Puzzle Playing Pieces. I guess if you collect them all they make a neat image...WOW! Thank you so very much Myret for taking the time to shoot these nice pics. I really appreciate you sending them. These unusual pieces of Bat-Memorabilia are really GREAT!!
