Airbrush Art - Batman THE DARK KNIGHT Custom Truck

OK, I know "The Dark Knight" movie is sort of old news, ha ha! But here's an extremely awesome TDK Custom Truck I came across on the web the other night. It's a totally airbrushed Batman Semi-Truck by an Artist named Glenn Andersen who lives in Norway. The entire surface of the truck is painted & it's all very very impressive! It features Batman & The Joker as seen in the film. This truck is crazy-cool!! In fact, it's almost too pretty to drive! For more photos of this vehicle & more of Glenn's other artwork, click HERE!

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!

THE ART OF MARK FREDRICKSON - The DARK KNIGHT Movie and MAD Magazine

A friend of mine sent me a link the other day to website for an amazing Graphic Artist named Mark Fredrickson. His artwork is extremely cool & I've known about his work for a long time but never knew his name, ha! You see, he created a few of the covers for MAD Magazine when they have done a parody of the Batman films. You might remember seeing the image shown here of Alfred E. Neuman as The Joker ( Heath Ledger version ). Mark also did a lot of the Stock Art ( or Style Guide Art ) used to promote THE DARK KNIGHT Movie Franchise. His images were placed in magazines, advertising, & other media packaging. Anyways, it's all good stuff & if you would like to see more of his work then just click HERE!

THE DARK KNIGHT - Batman Movie Wallpapers

OK, I know that coverage on THE DARK KNIGHT Batman movie is sort of "old news" now but there are still a ton of people who are HUGE Fans of this film. I know that, personally, I have a kind of "love & hate" feeling about it. I love the movie because it's totally great & was a lot of fun. On the other hand, as a "Batman News Reporter", I had to cover the thing night & day for many months before it even came out. I sort of got totally burned-out on it before it hit the Movie Theater & I remember that when I went to go enjoy the movie I had to sort of shake off all the information I had acquired about it. But, thank God, it was an AWESOME movie!



Now, since some time has gone by I'd like to share these TDK Wallpapers that are pretty cool! The 1st one is Heath Ledger, as The JOKER, driving the School Bus right after the Bank Robbery...a great image & awesome background! The next one is sort of a PROMO portrait of Batman, Two-Face, & The Joker. These were done by a Digital Artist named "Messenjah Matt". He took a ton of photographic images from the movie & then digitized them into graphics that made awesome backgrounds. If you like these 2 examples, then please be sure to visit his website where there are many many more, just click HERE!

Heath Ledger Autographed Bowling Pin Spotted in Famous New York City Landmark!

Here's a great story! We have 2 friends named Dave & Lisa who live near New York City, about 35 minutes west of Manhattan. They both recently decided to check out the Spider-Man Broadway Musical that's going on. Around the corner they visited a famous Bowling Alley called BOWLMOR LANES ( See the Classic Neon Sign in the 1st pic... beautiful ). While there they noticed this HEATH LEDGER Autographed Bowling Pin! This place has a display case where they feature celebrity-Signed Pins. Heath Ledger's Bowling Pin is placed right between Lady Gaga & Usher, ha ha! Hey, this is "Batman-related" & pretty interesting too. Thanks to Dave & Lisa for sending the fun pics.

Franziska's JOKER Make-Up - Heath Ledger Version

Here are some recent photos of a very serious JOKER FAN named Franziska. She lives in Germany & when I asked her if she wore this for Halloween, She said, "No, I wore this the other day!" Ha! That's cool! Here she is with awesome JOKER Make-Up just like Heath Ledger wore in "The Dark Knight" Batman movie & it looks great! She's got the green hair, dark eyes, & even the scars on the mouth... good job! I wanna thank Franziska for sharing these wonderful pics.

Funny Silly Wacky BATMAN HUMOR Photos & Comics!

I'm feeling pretty tired so I thought I would just post a few very funny Batman-related Comic Strips & Humor Photos. They're easy to post & always a lot of fun ( we all need a good laugh every now & then ). Also, many of these were sent in by a few Bat-Blog Readers so I want to thank them...they ROCK! ( My favorite is the one with the cute kid who has chocolate pudding all over his face. He really does look like the Joker from THE DARK KNIGHT movie, ha ha ha! )

TOY GARAGE - Toy Collector Magazine From Taiwan with Batman Movie Cover!

Jerry, our friend who lives in Taiwan, sent us these photos of a Toy Collector Magazine there called TOY GARAGE. This issue came out around the time of THE DARK KNIGHT movie & featured some cool Bat-Collectibles. In fact, Batman was on the cover & the main story was about some of the statues & busts made by HOT TOYS & KOTOBUKIYA. It's so cool to me how Batman is extremely popular all over the world. Thanks Jerry for sending these wonderful pics!

Cool Batmobile Toy Collection From Taiwan & a Batman Japanese Magazine

I know the title for this post is kinda lame. I know I'm suppose to come up with something funny or extremely clever but I'm just not in the mood this morning, OK? ha ha! So, let's get right to it. Recently the Bat-Blog made a new friend in Taiwan named Jerry. Right off the bat he sent us some amazing pictures of Batman Fandom from the other side of the world. OK, I know the Internet has been around for almost 3 decades now but I'm still amazed ( like a Caveman ) about the quick & easy communication with people from anywhere on the globe, it's like magic...I love it! Anyway, Jerry's a nice guy & really into Batman, so that's cool. The 1st pic is a display of some of his favorite Large-Size Toy Batmobiles. You have the Batmobile from the later Animated Series, the Tumbler from The Dark Knight movie, the car from Batman: The Animated Series ( I've always totally loved that car ), the Tim Burton movie car, the Futuristic Flying Batmobile from Batman Beyond, & one of the Vehicles from a later Joel Schumacher Film, Batman Forever. AWESOME!! It's really cool to see them all together like this! Plus, it's a very nice collection. Now the next group of 3 photos is a Japanese Magazine owned by Jerry. It looks like the main cover story is all about the incredible Dolls, Toys, & Action Figures made by HOT TOYS for the DARK KNIGHT movie. I can't read any of this, ha ha, but visually it looks so great & I really love it too! They covered the Christian Bale & Heath Ledger Figures, the Bat-Pod Motorcycle, the Giant-Size Tumbler Vehicle, & some misc ( mainly the Joker Art Bust ). Thanks Jerry for sending all the wonderful pics!! Readers, I will be posting more later so stay tuned for that ( he sent some GREAT stuff ). If there are any other Bat-Fans out there who want to share some of their favorite pieces in their Bat-Toy Collections then please be sure to send us some pics today. Our email button is always on the top right-hand side of this page.

BATMAN, BATGIRL, & THE JOKER Spotted in Los Angeles!

This photo is pretty funny! It was sent in by our Good Friend Guenter who lives in Germany. The photo is of his lovely Daughter who recently visited California. While there she ran into these 3 costumed heroes. Well, actually two superheroes & one villain, ha ha! Here we get to see Batman ( Sort of a 1989 Movie version ), Batgirl ( Cassandra Cain - Comic Book Style ), & the Joker ( Heath Ledger from The Dark Knight movie ). Thanks to Guenter & his pretty Daughter for allowing us to publish this cool pic...you guys ROCK!

Batman Toy: THE JOKER Nestle Cereal Box Premium WALLPAPER BACKGROUND

Awhile back I got an e-mail from a Bat-Blog Fan who took a few photos of her favorite Batman Toys. Well, actually they were mostly toys of the Joker, but you get the idea! Her name is Biadza & this is a photo of THE JOKER ( Heath Ledger version ) Cereal Premium Figure in her collection. The pic was kinda BIG so I thought it would make a pretty cool Desktop Wallpaper Background. This is the Free Toy inside THE DARK KNIGHT Cereal Box Promo that Nestle did when the movie was going on. Now the extra cool thing is that she lives in Paris. So, this is the European version of that toy. Like the ones in the USA, there were 4 figures to collect but there they were slightly different. Plus, they made one of The Scarecrow which was not even available here. Thank you Biadza for sending the pics. I plan to post the other ones later so keep an eye out for those. I want to invite other Bat-Blog Readers to share pics of their toy collections too. I always love to see what other people have, ha ha!

BATMAN AND JOKER - Urban Paper Craft Toys To Make!

One thing about the Internet is I'm totally loving the "Urban Paper Craft Toy" movement! Basically, a ton of different Graphic Artists are creating some fun toys that you can print with your computer & then put together to have figures or fun stuff. It's really neat, very creative, & highly addictive. Here are 2 figures of BATMAN & JOKER from the Dark Knight movie. Of course this is the "Heath Ledger" version of the Joker & he's just great! The Batman figure is fun too. You can download these, & many other projects, from a website called PAPER INSIDE. It's a fun place & you can get there by clicking HERE! Oh yeah, this link is to the Batman Figure ( and a few other DC Comics characters ) & to get the "Heath Ledger Joker" Paper Toy just look for the small text link at the bottom of that story...have fun!

ART: The Most Elaborate BATMAN COMIC BOOK TATTOO I Have Ever Seen!!

OK, The Bat-Blog is sort of famous for posting Batman-related tattoos that readers send in. We get one every now & then but this one is totally crazy! Of course I mean "crazy" in a good way, ha ha! This is the most elaborate one I have ever seen...EVER! It belongs to a new friend named Damien who actually went to a Tattoo Convention & had a few different Tattoo Artists do this all in one day!! There are images of Batman, Heath Ledger Joker, Batgirl, Riddler, Bat-Symbol, Comic Book Logo, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy's Lips, a Back & White Comic Book Page ( Animated Series Two-Face ), an Homage to Carmine Infantino, & much more!! OK, This thing would be way to complex to explain so I'll just let the photos do the talking. I wanna thank Damien for sharing these photos. Man, your Bat-Tat is INSANE!! It really is a work of ART or, I should say, WORKS of art!

Gerry's JOKER Costume ( The Dark Knight Movie - Heath Ledger Version )

Since Halloween is over, & many people didn't get dressed-up until then, we have been getting a few photos from Bat-Blog Fans who wore costumes of their favorite Batman characters. That's awesome! Like, just the other night we got these cool pics from our friend Gerry who became The JOKER this year. He chose the "Heath Ledger" version from The Dark Knight movie. Both the costume & make-up are extremely well done but the neat thing was he went to a party that had a Professional Photographer. I like how you guys sort of replicated some famous movie images. Like, when Heath ( as the Joker ) removed his Bank Robber Mask, that's pretty neat. The image with the Joker Playing Card is also a nice tribute. Thanks to Gerry for sending these in. I know a lot of people are gonna really like them.
