Gene's Vintage Photo - The Original BATMAN TV Show 1966 Batmobile Car

Check out this amazing photo! It belongs to a guy in New Jersey named Gene. His story is, "Back in February of 1967, my dad took me and my younger brother Michael over to the Old Armory in West Orange, NJ, where they used to have great Hot Rods and Stock Car Shows. My Dad took this lone photo of us in front of one of the five original BATMAN TV 1966 Batmobiles!" WOW!!! Gene strongly believes the Custom Car he saw in 1967 was the #4 Batmobile ( the vehicle used for all the drag racing scenes ) because of the elaborate seat belt harnesses he and his brother recall seeing in the interior. Also, CHECK OUT the awesome life-size cardboard cutouts of Adam & Burt to the far right!!! This is a Classic Childhood Photograph! I wanna thank BatDave for bringing it to our attention & especially thank Gene for sharing his wonderful childhood memory... great stuff!

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!

60's BATMAN MOVIE BATCOPTER Live at The New Jersey State Fair!

Shown up above are some amazing photos sent in by our friend BatDave. He recently went to the New Jersey State Fair where they have the Original 1960's BATCOPTER from the Batman TV Series Movie!! He said he didn't ride it this year but he did get some great pics of this classic bat-vehicle ( As always, click on them for larger versions ). He even came across a wonderful Freak Show Banner with "The HUMAN BAT", that is a total parody of the character, AWESOME! The NJ Fair is actually still going on right now until July 5th, 2010. The cost of riding in the helicopter is $30.00. I once rode in one of these bell-copters ( not the Batman one ) and the experience is well worth the price. Seriously, it's incredible! Here's a link to the NJ Fair website, just click HERE!

Do You Know The Name of This BATMAN & ROBIN Illustrator ?

A friend recently bought this original artwork that is actually a very large advertising poster featuring Batman, Robin, The Joker, The Penguin, The Batmobile Car, & The Bat-Jet ( whew! ). It was painted by an artist named Tooley for the Mid-Continent Expositions Inc ©1967. Tooley was an illustrator and this was a concept-design painting for a parade float that he was commissioned for by Mid-Continent in 1967 around the time of the Batman TV Show ( the 2nd Season ). It measures 27 1/2 inches by 17 1/2 inches, is on heavy poster board, all hand painted including lettering. What we're trying to figure out is, "Who is this "Tooley" artist guy?", and "What ( or where ) was this Mid-Continent organization?" So, if anybody reading this might know the answer to either question then please respond by e-mail. Our e-mail button is always at the top right-hand side of this page...it's drivin' us crazy not knowing anything, ha ha! Please be sure to click the above images for larger, more detailed, versions. Also, on a side-note: If they ever made this Batman Parade Float in real-life then it would have been SUPER-AWESOME!!
