Video - BATMAN: THE LINE, a New Fan-Film

BATMAN: THE LINE. If you're a big fan of fan-films then be sure to check this out. This was Written, Directed, Edited, & Produced by a young Filmmaker named Henry Tripson. He also plays the part of "The Joker" in this movie. His friend Jason Kimble made all the props & did the Joker's make-up. Jason is also the Actor who plays "Batman". "Robin" was played by Jared Olstad. The movie takes place right after the events in the Batman Comic Books, Issues # 424 and 425. Check it out!!

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - A Fan's Tribute To The Teaser Trailer

The BIG BATMAN NEWS right now is that Warner Bros released a Teaser Movie Trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES recently during the new HARRY POTTER film. Now, we don't have a copy of this thing yet, nobody does. But we'll be posting it as soon as it's available, please stay tuned. But, in the mean time, one cool thing is that it totally inspired an Artist named Scott McMahon ( aka Scoot ) who lives in Rossford, Ohio. Scoot drew this black and white drawing of BATMAN in honor of "The Dark Knight Rises" Movie... it looks pretty cool, check it out! ( Thanks Scoot )


Oh yeah, CLICK HERE for a colorized version of this art, plus much more!

Video - THE NEW JOKER - a Fan-Made BATMAN Movie

Here's a JOKER FAN-FILM made by a few friends with probably no budget at all. But over all it's put together really well. The basic story is the Joker giving a message to Batman. Also, It's obviously the "Heath Ledger" version from "The Dark Knight" movie. The make-up & acting is pretty decent, check it out!

Video - Batman and Robin in The Janus Factor

Here's an interesting Fan-Made BATMAN CGI Animation Video I found on YouTube from a user named "MarvelZombie2099" and it's his personal homage to Gotham City. He created some really nice Batman and Robin 3-D models and later decided to make an animation starring the Dynamic Duo. His goal was to create a Silver Age Batman story that focused on crime fighting and action without the modern Dark Knight angst. The characters look pretty good & I totally love the Batmobile car! As usual, with Batman, the Villains steal the show!

Video - 1967 Family BATMAN Movie ( Vintage Fan Film )

A friend of ours over at Facebook sent us this link to a really great BATMAN Fan Film. Now the thing that's extremely cool about it is that it was done in 1967! Yes, some kids back then must have had an 8mm camera or something & they put this BATMAN movie together! The thing that's so cool is that the "vintage look" of the movie gives it a lot of charm. Plus, they used some old Batman Halloween Masks as props, which are great to see! They also featured a fun 1966 Batmobile toy car that acts as the car in the movie. It's use is really clever... enjoy!

Video - BATMAN BEYOND Animated Series Fan-Film

Years ago director Michael Valentine attempted to make a fan-film based on the BATMAN BEYOND animated series TV cartoon. Due to some difficulties ( I'm guessing lack of money )the movie was never finished.

BATMAN IIX - Vintage Movie Poster Parody!

Shown here is a beautiful graphic created by our good friend Sean Hartter. It's a fake Vintage Movie Poster / Lobby Card featuring Donald Pleasence as Mr. Freeze! Oh man, he would have been great in that role. I always loved seeing him in movies. He was the perfect character actor, very creepy! I know you guys have seen him, just do a Google Search sometime & you'll say, "Oh yeah, that guy!" It's also funny to note, that in this total fantasy film, Batman would have been played by Burt Reynolds, ha ha ha! I really wish they would have made this movie : ) Thanks to Sean for sharing his fun artwork.

Some Brand-New BATMAN FAN Websites Worth Checking Out!

Here's a quick post to sort of promote 2 very cool Batman-related Websites by some friends of the Bat-Blog. They're both brand-new & have a clever twist. The 1st one is called "HOLY SMOKES BATMAN!" & it's main focus is recounting ALL the different times that Robin ( Burt Ward ) said the phrase "Holy..." on the 1966 TV Series. There are actual audio clips of every phrase & if you check out the site then be sure to click on "Play The Entire Library" to hear them all & have a really great laugh! Our friend Jay did a great job on this site & it's a lot of fun. Just click HERE!

The next Batman-Fan website is actually a re-vamp of an older, existing page, except our friend Stephanie changed it around to the blogging format & it's really way better. It's called "BATMAN-CITY, The Ultimate Batman Trading Card Guide on the Web" & it's obsessive focus is collecting very detailed information about all the different Batman Trading Card Sets & Promo Cards from around the world. You know how I am totally goo-goo over "the foreign stuff" so I'm really liking it so far, ha ha! She just recently started this blog but if it become 1/2 as detailed as her other "Reference Guide" website then it should be quite good...keep an eye on it. Just Click HERE!

BATMAN: THE MUSICAL "Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?"

OK, Reading the title up above you might be thinking this post is all about the recent Batman: The Brave and The Bold episode starring the Music Meister, but NO, it's not! This is about a real-life Broadway-Type Musical that Warner Bros had planned for Batman way back in the late 90's when Tim Burton just got done directing his 2 Batman movies. In fact Tim Burton was set to direct this play & they even hired a famous song writer to come up with a few songs. Unfortunately for all of us it never really left the ground. But this video is a performance of one of the songs they designed for the show. It was called "Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?" & would have probably been sung by The Joker, ha ha! Now, this video here is a fan-made production using photos of Batman Toys along with the song. The funny thing is about 7 or 8 of the pics were taken from the Bat-Blog. But, it's kinda cool so I'll let it slide...enjoy!

VIDEO: Harley Quinn's Date with Pee-Wee Herman ( Batman Fan-Film )

Watch what happens when Harley Quinn has a blind date with the eccentric man-child, Pee-Wee Herman. This fan-made Batman movie short made by Influence Films is actually pretty good. If anything, the costumes are really great! Also, don't forget to stay tuned for the bloopers during the credits!

Cue Music: " Everybody was Kung-Fu Fighting!"

BATMAN FAN? PLEASE SUPPORT THE BAT-BLOG TODAY!

OK, This is kind of funny! As the main writer of the Bat-Blog I am always constantly stressing out about how I can promote the site. It's a very difficult thing to do. If I were to study the growth of this blog ( or ANY blog for that matter ), it's an extremely slow process to obtain new readers. It totally drives me crazy, ha ha! For example, awhile back I printed a small ad-sheet that I gave to people to advertise the site ( I still do it even today ). But one time, about 2 years ago, I got all "Guerrilla Marketing" about it, & taped one onto a Newspaper Vending Machine. Now the part that's totally hilarious is that it lasted for almost 2 1/2 years! I always wonder if it had any value at all...did it bring in any new people? Probably not, or if so, not too many. One thing I've learned is that the best response is by "word of mouth". So, what I'm gonna do here is ask every single reader of the Bat-Blog, at least those who enjoy the site, to please tell all their friends about it. You can do it inside a Message Board, with a Banner or Bulletin on your MySpace page, a Link on your own Blog, a Link-Post on your Facebook Page, e-mail a friend who likes Batman, etc... But please don't do what I did this one time & plaster a sign on some property, ha ha! If you need to know ways to promote the Bat-Blog or if you need a special-sized banner then just please shoot me an e-mail. I would be more than happy to help! One last thing, I hope a lot of people out there enjoy this site & I want to thank everyone who comes back to read it every single day. It really means a lot.
