Rare 1966 BATMAN Girl's Summer Shirt

Here's a wonderful photo of an extremely RARE piece of Vintage Batman merchandise. It's a 1966 BATMAN Shirt... for a Little Girl. This item was bought off eBay awhile back from our friend Doug, who wrote, "I recently purchased this 1966 Batman Girl's Summer Shirt on eBay for a song. It is size 3X small cotton shirt with the Joker, Penquin, Batmobile, Batman, and Robin. It also has Gotham City in the background. Please note the Batman Logo is highlighted in pink and other features as well. This is the first one I have ever seen."



Yes, I have to agree that this is the very first time I have seen this variation. Now, I've seen this same graphic used on Baby bibs, Pillows, T-Shirts, etc...but never on a little girl's outfit & never in the strange hot pink variation, very cool! Thanks to Doug for sharing. So, do YOU have a RARE Batman Collectible you would like to share? I'm talking about a "Museum Piece" you have never seen before. if so, then please shoot the Bat-Blog a photo & send it to us, thanks.

New BATMAN CLOTHING For Children To Look For at Wal-Mart

I stay awake at night tossing & turning because I worry if Wal-Mart is making enough money. So, I decided to do this post to help them out, ha ha! No, not really, actually our good friend THE BATFAN recently went on a wacky crazy shopping spree & found a lot of very cool Batman merchandise he wanted to share. Now, he mostly buys toys & other cool bat-collectibles, but when he came across these kid's clothes with these amazing Batman graphics, he HAD to get them! What you see here is an almost complete outfit ( at least for the Summer Swimming Pool ). Here's a Batman Baseball Cap & Swim Trunks. They both feature vintage 1980's comic book artwork by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez! Anybody familiar with this artist knows how good his stuff is. I like the hat but the graphics on the shorts are really really great! Too bad they're only children-sized or else I would buy a pair for myself. I wanna thank BATFAN for shooting these pics & also invite other readers to send in theirs. Have YOU found any cool brand-new Batman items recently? If so then please feel free to send us some photos, or if you can't then just let us know the "what & where", thanks!

Jen's New HARLEY QUINN Costume Inspired Dress

OK, it looks like our friend Jennifer has been pretty busy sewing lately & here are some wonderful photos of her latest creation. It's a variation on the Classic Harley Quinn Costume except that it's been modified into a 50's Style Cocktail Dress. Well, it could be a 1940's version, I'm not a fashion expert, ha! But either way it looks extremely cool, and personally, I really like it! Looking at the photos it looks like it can be worn either with or without the huge white collar thing. She also made a hat & mask to go with it, awesome. This would be great for a comic con event or even a dinner party. That is, if you're going to a cool dinner party! So, good job Jen & thanks for sending us the beautiful pics. If there are any other creative people out there doing Batman-inspired art then please share your stuff with us too.

John's Vintage BATMAN AND ROBIN Family Photos!

Remember, we always love getting old photos like this so if you have one then please send it in. Our e-mail button is always on the top right-hand side of this page. Oh yeah, one last thing, our gratitude goes to John for sharing these great pics...Thanks John!

BATMAN SANDALS & FLIP-FLOPS - Just in Time For Summer!

Shown here are some cool pieces of Batman merchandise made by the Havaianas company. Their high-quality footwear are getting pretty popular. Some people call them "Sandals", I've always called then "Flip-Flops", ha! I have displayed the ones here with artwork of the Dark Knight but they also have some with other superhero graphics like Superman, Wonder Woman, & Green Lantern. Also, one pair features The Joker! You can check them out by clicking here:

Brand-New BATMAN T-Shirts For Sale!

OK, The Bat-Blog has some expenses so I'm gonna ask that if you're in the market for a new piece of Batman Clothing to please use one of our links at this website. We don't make much at all but it can add up after a very long time. Plus, I personally check out all the companies I deal with ( or actually buy from them & know they have good service / great prices ). One such company is Superhero Stuff. While most online stores stay pretty stale they're very dynamic with bringing in new material. Like, here's a bunch of brand new Batman-themed T-Shirts they recently added. Well, they added a lot more but these are some of my favorites. The 1st one is a replica to the cover of a 1940's Golden Age Comic Book, Detective Comics! Speaking of "Golden Age", the next one has a very old graphic of Batman from 1939! In fact, that was the very very 1st image of the Dark Knight himself! The next one is more "modern day" & it shows the evil grin of Two-Face, a Classic Villain. The last one is a replica of a very recent Batman comic book cover. If you would like to see more products this company carries then please be sure to click on the link button down below, thanks!

New BATMAN T-SHIRTS Over At SUPERHERO STUFF

The other night I was kinda bored & decided to check out what kind of new Batman Merchandise there was out there. My main focus was some kind of cool T-Shirt or other clothing. One website that I totally love to buy from is called SUPERHERO STUFF. They have great service & an awesome variety. While there I saw they had a bunch of brand-new T-Shirts & here's the one I think I'm going to buy. It has a graphic on the front of a Silver-Age Comic Book Cover that features artwork by Carmine Infantino. Actually, it's Detective Comics # 380. I don't know, I think it's pretty cool. What do you think? Oh, if you're wondering where their website is I placed a link down below, check it out sometime.

HEY! It's Desmond, The Littlest Batman Fan!

Alright! Late last night I got a new photo of our little buddy Desmond in my email box. That always makes me happy because he's such a cool kid! He's shown here in some new BATMAN Pajamas he got last Christmas. They have a vintage style to them ( think of the ones your Grandpa wore, ha ) & they're completely covered with Batman Bat-Symbol Logos!! Oh man, I'm totally jealous! Hey Desmond, I don't have any cool sleepwear like this! I might have to come over to your house & steal these, ha! I wanna thank his parents for sending the sweet picture. It's nice to see the little guy again & he's still totally adorable. In fact, maybe even a little bit more!

Johnny's CUSTOM BATMAN & ROBIN GI Joe Doll Clothes

This is a really nice story. Here's some pics sent in by a Bat-Blog Reader named Johnny. When he was a little kid, back in the 1970's, a lady who was a good neighbor made him some Batman & Robin clothes for his large 12" GI Joe Dolls. They were made to sort of be like the Mego Superhero Figures we all know & love. Well, out of sentimental reasons he has kept these outfits for all these years. Later, he got some large dolls to display the mini-costumes as a way to remember her ( she recently passed away ). Now I think these clothes are just totally wonderful & she did a great job on them. OK, I know that they're not totally perfect or completely accurate but a lot of goodness & love went into making them. So for that reason they're really special. Plus, they actually are pretty cool! Thanks to Johnny for sharing his nice story & pics.

Vintage BATMAN and JOKER JACKET - Great Graphics!

All the way from Mexico we got an email from a Bat-Blog Fan named Pablo. He wanted to share a few pics of one of his favorite items in his collection. He has this extremely cool Vintage "CHALK LINE" Batman Jacket. From the style of the artwork used I'm guessing it's from the late 1980's. I totally love the image on the back with Batman & Joker in the heat of battle. They are shown in the Silver-Age Comic Book style...what a lot of people call the "Gray & Blue Batman" ( this is one of my favorites ). Thank you Pablo for sending the nice pics, I really appreciate that. This thing is GREAT!

Bloomingdale's DC COMICS 75th Anniversary T-Shirts ( Batman & Joker )

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of DC Comics Bloomingdale's Department Store is selling some cool Batman & Joker themed T-Shirts. The Vintage Style "Japanese Batman" ( in the 1st photo ) is my personal favorite & I really like the one that looks like a cover to an old Golden Age "Detective Comics" Comic Book. The prices range from $39.00 to around $60, OUCH!

Brand-New Vintage-Style BATMAN & BATGIRL T-Shirts!!

While surfing the net the other night I came across these brand-new ultra-cool Batman T-Shirts that I thought I would share here. They're some new designs that just came out. I thought the one with the Batgirl design is too awesome because it looks like a Vintage Halloween Costume. The Batman one in the middle looks like it's from the 1980's ( or even the 1970's ) & the one with just the "Batman Logo" is cool because it's the modern version you don't see on T-Shirts very often. If you're looking for good deals & great service online then I suggest clicking the button down below.

TO THE BAT-CRIB!

Here at the Bat-Blog people are welcome to send us their vintage family photos if they're Batman-related. I always seriously love to get these because sometimes they're really cute & funny, other times they're just a really neat piece of Bat-History. This one is a great example of both! At first glance you see an extremely cute little Batman Fan sporting a BATMAN One-Piece Jumper ( I think they're called "Onesies" ). Just on that level you get the "cute & adorable" motif but then you see the Batman Clothing & realize that this bat-item is actually extremely SUPER-RARE. Man, I would love to have one of these in my personal collection. In fact, I would have it framed & put behind glass to protect it, ha ha! The next thing that's pretty interesting is the fact that this little kid started out in the crib as a Batman Fan & still is today. Now, that loyality! The photo is of our friend Ed & he explains it this way, "Let's see...I'm born Dec '65, "Batman" premieres on ABC in January of '66, and by Sept of that same year I'm already dressed in a Batman shirt. Yep, guess I've been a fan my whole life." Oh yeah, I love both the photo AND the story...too funny! Yeah, Batman Fan Forever! So, thanks Ed for sharing your family picture, it's great. Readers, he send another one of himself from later in life when he dressed as Robin at Halloween. You won't wanna miss this costume because it's actually pretty cool. But that one is for a future posting, so keep an eye out for that!

THE DARK KNIGHT Batman Teddy Bear Costume At Build-A-Bear Stores

Here's a new Batman product that's been out a little while that some of you might wanna get. It's a Batman Costume Clothing Set for a Teddy Bear! Yeah, you read that right...Teddy Bear Clothes! Actually, it's kinda cool & it's the bat-suit version from the Dark Knight movie. They sell these at the Build-a-Bear stores ( You can find at your local Shopping Mall ). We did a post about this along time ago when they 1st came out & they're still selling them...WOW! I guess they must be selling pretty good if they're keeping them around, ha ha! I decided to do a re-post on this because a new Bat-Blog Reader, named Paul, sent these really GREAT PICS & they're way better than the ones I had before. Thank you Paul, I appreciate that!

BATMAN FASHION: Funny "Bat Hates His JOB" T-Shirt!

Over at the THREADLESS website the other day I saw a totally hilarious Batman Parody Humor T-Shirt called "JOB". The main theme is all about hating your job, which unfortunately for some of us we can relate too, ha ha! If you're looking for it there just remember to search their site for the T-Shirt named "JOB".

UNIVERSAL DESIGNS: Official Licensed BATMAN Movie Replica Outerwear

There is a brand-new company out there now that has just emerged that will be making Official Licensed Movie Replica Outerwear from the Batman Begins & The Dark Knight movies. The company is UNIVERSAL DESIGNS & they will be making Movie Replica Leather Jackets, Leather Pants, & Boots that totally look like the original Batman Bat-Suit Costumes worn by Christian Bale in the 2 mentioned movies. They are sort of being marketed right now as both costumes & motorcycle gear...we'll see. The attention to detail sounds totally insane so I bet these will be pretty popular. Shown here are some of the blueprint-style graphics they present for a few products. There are a few more pictures like this at their website & of course as soon as they release anything we'll let you know. Right now there are not any pictures of the actual product because it's all in the "developmental stages". But overall it sounds like a really great concept. If you're curious be sure to visit their website, here's a link button:
