Check out this extremely cool Batman-themed T-Shirt used to promote the San Francisco Fire Department, specifically "Engine 26" in Diamond Heights. The design looks a lot like the opening title graphics for the 1966 BATMAN TV Show. Now, speaking of that TV series, somebody went to a Comic Book Convention where all the actors posed with the T-Shirt. There is Adam West ( Batman ), Burt Ward ( Robin, The Boy Wonder ), Julie Newmar ( Catwoman ), & the 1966 Batmobile Car Designer, George Barris!
Our friend Stephen just got back from Wizard World Chicago 2010 & sent us these totally wonderful pics. Guess who he got to meet? He met Adam West ( 1966 Batman ), Burt Ward ( Robin, The Boy Wonder ), and Julie Newmar ( Catwoman )...all on the same day!! Oh man, I'm jealous...JEALOUS!! But I'm happy for him, it must have been totally super-cool to visit with the actors from the '66 BATMAN TV Show. Plus, the photos came out really good. Thanks for sending them Stephen. Yeah, I'm still jealous.
Today, August 16th, is Julie Newmar's birthday! She will always be the very best Catwoman there ever was! Happy Birthday Julie Newmar!!
The Wizard World Comic Convention is coming to Philly from June 11th to the 13th, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The reason I mention it is because Adam West ( Bruce Wayne / Batman ) & Julie Newmar ( Catwoman ), the actors who played those characters in the 1966 BATMAN TV Show, will be there! Plus, hundreds of comic book artists, writers, pencillers, inkers, creators and directors are also set to attend. Some of them have even worked in Batman comics: Ethan Van Sciver, Mark McKenna, Jim Calafiore, & Arthur Suydam ( all pictured down below ), just to name a few. All VIP Ticket Holders will receive a special limited edition BATMAN ZOMBIE Art Print ( only 600 made & a picture of this print is shown up above ) signed by Arthur Suydam!

Since today is "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" I thought, this week, I would post 2 backgrounds with something vintage 60's Batman & something that's modern, but looks vintage. Does that make sense? Please let me explain. The 1st Wallpaper is a wonderful glamor-fashion photo of Julie Newmar as Catwoman from the 1966 TV Series. It's the "vintage one". The 2nd Batman Wallpaper was sent in by our good friend Sean Hartter who made this amazing background that totally looks like an old vintage newspaper advertisement for a "Special Screening of 2 Batman Movies", a Double-Feature! The great thing about this graphic is that, if you're familiar with the "look" of these old ads, then it totally fools you for a minute. Then, you realize, "Hey, This is BATMAN BEGINS & THE DARK KNIGHT! They're very recent movies, ha ha!" I wanna thank Sean for the wonderful artwork, it's great! I also wanna say Hi to Julie Newmar & let her know that I'm sincerely sorry I forgot it was her birthday recently ...Happy Birthday Julie! You know I love ya!
A new friend to the Bat-Blog, named Fred Grandinetti, just wrote an article for the "Movie Collector’s World" Magazine website. He did a piece in issue #734, August 2009 ) on the "The Three faces of The 60's Catwoman" from the 1966 Batman TV Series. Of course we all know them as Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, & Eartha Kitt. It's a very interesting read & at the end of this post we have a link to it. Also, if you're really into Vintage Movie Posters you might check out a few other features at the site. Basically, the entire web page is totally devoted to movie collectibles, pretty interesting stuff. I wanna thank Fred for sending me the link, plus let him know he did a really great job on the article ( Thanks Fred ). You can visit the site by clicking HERE!
