Music Video - THE BATMAN Cartoon TV Theme Song Guitar Solo

Halloween Episode of "The BATMAN" This Weekend on Boomerang!

This Sunday, October 31st, look for a fun episode of THE BATMAN with a Special Halloween holiday theme. It will be on the Boomerang Network at 11:30 pm ( Eastern Time, check your local listings ). The title of the show is "Grundy's Night," it's a fan-favorite from the 2nd season of the series. Just to be clear, I'd like to mention that this is the animated series that ran from 2004 to 2008, it's NOT "The Brave and The Bold". The basic plot is that Solomon Grundy rises from a swamp on Halloween to wreak havoc on Gotham City. Of course the Dark Knight is there to spoil his plans... sounds like a good time, check it out!

THE BATMAN in ITALY - Cartoon Network Promo in Italian

OK, I'm probably the only person who thinks this is cool, ha ha! But here are some Italian television channel "Bumpers" for THE BATMAN CARTOON in Italy. They're short promo video clips announcing the TV show.

COOL BATGIRL T-SHIRTS For Girls, Teens, & Women

Here's a few Batgirl T-Shirts I found on the web that I had not seen before & they're both pretty cool! The 1st one is my favorite & it's more modern-day with the Batgirl from "The Batman" Animated Series Cartoon. It also has a cool "Anime-Look". The second one is Vintage-Retro with the 1980's-Style graphics that were originally drawn by the famous comic book artist, Dick Giordano. I found them both at a website called WebUndies. They sell T-Shirts, Underwear, Pajamas ( Tops & Bottoms ), & other clothing. They also have Batman T-Shirts for Kids, Men, & Boys. Their merchandise is kind of unique because it's stuff you don't see everywhere.

Video: THE BATMAN Interactive M.A.G. Video Game Toy TV Commercial

Here's a vintage TV Commercial that came out around the time of THE BATMAN Animated Cartoon a few years ago. This was for a game made by Thinkway Toys. Basically it was sort of an interactive video game where you dressed up in a Batman costume & it has electronics that would chart your movements & then re-enact them onto the TV screen. I guess it's a lot like the modern day Wii game. I found one of these toys ( Mint in the original box ) about a year ago at a Garage Sale for $1.00, a nice find! The funny thing is, I have never hooked it up to see how the game play is. I need to do that soon because it looks kinda cool. Now, please enjoy the video!

The BATMAN Is Spotted in Chile!

A new friend to the Bat-Blog, named David, sent us these really cool photos the other day of a new item he found in Chile. Well, actually I think it's been sitting on the store shelves for awhile because it's an item tied into the older THE BATMAN animated cartoon series. He said he found it in a Pharmacy & it's a tin box filled with Batman Band-Aids. It has totally amazing graphics all over it. WOW! I really like it! David, this is an extremely RARE & unusual piece of bat-memorabilia! Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos, I appreciate that a lot. If any other Bat-Blog Readers, from anywhere in the whole wide world, spot ANY new pieces of Batman-related merchandise then please send us some photos (or if you can't send pics then just send the information). The main reason I'm asking is because the Bat-Blog is all about sharing the joys of collecting. Thanks.

BATMAN Bye Bye Boo Boo

Ha Ha! A friend of mine told me he saw a new Batman Bubble Bath called "Crazy Foam" at Target where the bottle has a huge Batman head. He said it wasn't designed like the old 1970's Crazy Foam but a more modern design, just with the same name. So I ran over there to get one & couldn't find it, but I did find this wacky bat-item! I guess some stock person found this old merchandise in the stockroom & put it out. It's a product from "The Batman" cartoon-era. It's a small plush pillow that gets cold when you freeze it in the refrigerator. Then you place it on sore muscle areas. It's kinda cute but the main reason I bought it is because it's so extremely www-weird. If any of you readers come across brand-new Batman items please let me know so I can share with other collectors, thanks.

Video: BATMAN VS DRACULA Animated Movie - Behind the Scenes - Voice Actors

A few years ago Warner Bros came out with an animated film called BATMAN vs DRACULA. I highly recommend it as it's actually pretty good. This video is a "Behind The Scenes" look at the voice actors who gave life to the characters. You'll see/hear Rino Romano as The Batman/Bruce Wayne, Tom Kenny as The Penguin, & Kevin Michael Richardson as The Joker. Enjoy.

Video: THE BATMAN - TV SHOW OPENING THEME SONG ( Italian Language Version )

Our friend Andrew sent us this link with a translation too. ( Thanks Andrew! ) Ya see, the video is the opening sequence for THE BATMAN Cartoon TV Show but it's in Italian. They must play this animated series in Italy. He wrote this nice piece of information, "Thought the Bat-Bloggers would get a kick out of this. Anyway, I think the song is strangely catchy, so I've translated the chorus for your readers' amusement so they can sing along. It's repeated lots towards the end.

Batman,
Batman of the Future,
Grande amico della verità,
Gotham City ti ringrazierà,
Batman of the Future,
Sei tu!

...which means...

Batman,
Batman of the Future,
Great friend of truth,
Gotham City will thank you,

Batman of the Future,
Is you!

NEW: French BATMAN PRODUCTS From France!

In response to a post we did recently about some "Foreign Batman Memorabilia" our friend Andrew sent these wonderful photos of some current Bat-items available in France. The 1st picture is my favorite & it's a box of Batman Cookies. The graphics are awesome! Oh yeah, in Europe they call cookies "Biscuits", so I guess this is a box of biscuits, ha ha! The next 2 sets of photos are the magazine covers to, what Andrew calls, "Baby Magazines" that are probably marketed to small children. They feature THE BATMAN & The TEEN TITANS cartoons. He said he gets them because they come with cool premiums like stickers, cards, watches, keychains, etc...Thanks Andrew for taking the time to photograph these & send them. I really appreciate that & I know my readers will enjoy seeing this rare Batman stuff. I wanna invite ALL Bat-Blog Readers to send photos, no matter where you live!
