We Want The BATGIRL YEAR ONE Animated DC Universe Movie!

We Want The BATGIRL : YEAR ONE Animated DC Universe Movie! Here is a LINK to a petition that will be directed towards Warner Home Video, Inc. to rethink their decision to cancel the development and production of Batgirl: Year One. In a recent interview Bruce Timm stated something to the effect of, "We were developing and hoping to get started on a 'Batgirl' film based on 'Year One,' but because of 'Wonder Woman’s' slow sales start, that won’t be happening now." So, we're asking all Bat-Blog Readers, especially Batgirl Fans, to please click HERE & sign the petition.

BATMAN WALLPAPER - Comic Book Art - Issue # 700 Variant Cover

DC Comics just announced yesterday that there will be a special variant cover to BATMAN # 700 and the artwork will be created by Mike Mignola of Hellboy fame. I took the beautiful graphics & made a wallpaper background out of it, that's what you see up above. But it's important to note that Mignola's inspiration for his cover came from a Golden Age story of Batman that appeared in Detective Comics #168. He sort of re-created the cover to that old comic book...very cool, can't wait to see it.

David's Vintage 1980's BATMAN GRAPHICS Beach Towel!

Here's another photo sent in by a loyal Bat-Blog Fan named David. It's a wonderful vintage family photo from around 1981 or so. It shows David, then age 13, with his favorite Batman Beach Towel. Oh man, the graphics are so extremely cool & this thing, today, is very very rare! The artwork looks like the classic stuff done by Carmine Infantino. I totally love this pic, thanks to David for sending it. If any other readers have any Bat-memories to share then please do. our email button is always at the top right-hand side of this page.

NEAL ADAMS & DICK GIORDANO ORIGINAL ART - Batman's DETECTIVE COMICS # 415

While surfing through the Heritage Auction Galleries website last night I saw the most amazing piece of Batman Comic Book Art that I have seen in a long time. This is an original penciled & inked drawing for the cover to Detective Comics # 415. This was drawn by Neal Adams ( pencils ) with inks by Dick Giordano. It's going to be auctioned off on May 21st, 2010. With this being an incredible piece of Batman art from the Classic Silver Age period, plus - with the recent passing of Dick Giordano, it's going to be interesting to see what this item goes for.
