BANE Batman Wallpaper - Artwork Inspired By THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Movie

Here's a very cool BANE Batman Wallpaper submitted by our friend Sean Hartter who was inspired by the recent photo of Tom Hardy as BANE in the next Batman film, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES! ( Thanks Sean! )

Sean Hartter's Retro-Style SUPERHERO MOVIE Posters

OK, I'm a total loser & don't get to brag much, but I gotta say that I'm really proud of our good buddy Sean Hartter! He's a very talented commercial artist & he recently got some amazing hype on his artwork over at the WEEKLY-CRISIS website. They did a fun story about his fake Retro-Style "Superhero Movie" Posters & Lobby Cards. Basically, he creates new images that look like old vintage advertising for movies that were never made ( but you WISH they had made, ha! ). As an example I'm showing one for THE JOKER with Tim Curry as the lead character. But at the Weekly-Crisis website you can see some of your favorite Superheroes like: Superman, Plastic Man, Iron Fist, Wolverine, & many more. Just click HERE!

BATMAN & VILLAINS Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday

OK, it's the middle of the day & I am finally posting the "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday " backgrounds. I know, "I'm Late", ( sorry ) but really I was working on the Bat-Blog almost all night ( technical issues ) & slept in late. So, like my Grandmother used to say, "Better late, than never!" But, I think you'll enjoy these backgrounds so here we go! The 1st one was made by me using some graphics I found at the DC Comics website. The visuals were just too awesome to NOT make into a wallpaper, ha! Plus, besides Batman, there are some cool villains: Catwoman & The Penguin! The next wallpaper, I'm very proud to say, was sent in by a Bat-Blog Contributing Artist named Sean Hartter. Both the artwork & art direction are really great! He came up with this very clever idea of making a fake issue of PLAYBILL. These are small booklets you used to get when you went to the theater of a Broadway play. Ironically, it looks EXACTLY like an original issue...making it a wonderful parody. Now the other thing that's pretty funny is that, to give it a heightened sense of realism, he used the real names of famous actors & writers. The play is titled "BATMAN: The Joker's Five Way Revenge", which is a very classic comic book story actually written by Dennis O'Neil. Plus, the 2 real-life Famous Actors are John Barrymore & Lon Chaney. The picture is an actual photo of them but shopped with the Batman & Joker costumes...awesome! It also says that the play was produced by Robert Kane ( Bob Kane ). Which is funny because he's the guy who "created" Batman. I'm not surprised that Bill Finger didn't get a mention, ouch!

JOKER VS BATMAN Desktop Wallpaper Background

Here is a New BATMAN VS JOKER Wallpaper I made using some graphics drawn by Sean Hartter. You can use it to brighten your desktop or as a groovy background in a MySpace layout ( Click on it to see the larger version, then right-click, "save as..." ). As you can see Sean has his own unique style. If you would like to view more of his artwork, you can do so by clicking HERE!

BATMAN BACKGROUNDS: Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

Here at the Bat-Blog we post 2 exclusive Batman Wallpaper Backgrounds every Wednesday! This week I am pretty proud to say that 2 of these were sent in by Bat-Blog Readers. ( Oh yeah, I guess I should also say that we are posting THREE WALLPAPERS this week! ) They both did the art themselves. The 1st one was done by our friend Sean Harrter. It has a distinct style that I can not express right now. It looks sort of like a handbill or an advertisement from the 16th Century. Or maybe not, sorry I'm having a hard time explaining it but it looks awesome! The 2nd one, with the 1989 Batman Movie image, was done by a new contributor named Andrew. He said this took about 8 hours to draw. He actually drew it with some computer program. Of course it is the Michael Keaton ( Tim Burton Style ) Batman. The 3rd wallpaper was made by me from some artwork I randomly found on the web. The subject matter came about because of a Bat-Blog Reader's request for Clayface. So, here it is with a really nice pencil drawing of Batman & Clayface in battle. Now, I have a few other Clayface Wallpapers that I will post after I get permission from the artists. For now, I wanna thank everybody for helping this week! If anyone else has some requests for a certain character then please let us know. Also, if you have some graphics you made that you would like to send to use as wallpaper then that would be great too!

BATMAN Desktop Wallpaper Background BATMOBILE CAR By Sean Hartter

Here is an extremely cool Batman Desktop Wallpaper made by our Graphic Artist Friend Sean Hartter. He had sent this to me a long time ago & it has sort of got lost in the shuffle. Yes, my organization skills are a mess! Anyway, this is some of his original art & it shows his idea on the Golden Age Batmobile Car. I love the Retro 1940's-Style, very cool! I also know that this will be kinda weird but I totally love the "lens flare" shining off the headlights, a nice graphic touch. Sean, sorry about posting this so late but, "Better late than never", I always say! I also wanna say that the drawing is extremely AWESOME & I know that many readers will love it, thanks.

Hey BATMAN FANS! It's Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday!

For people new to the Bat-Blog I guess I gotta explain that every single Wednesday we go a little crazy & post a few Batman-Themed Desktop Wallpapers you can use to brighten up your PC Desktop or use as a background in a MySpace Layout, whew! This week both of them have a "Batman in Gotham City" vibe that you might like. The first one is a high-quality graphic I found that was once a hi-rez scan from a Batman comic book. The coloring & sharpness are really great! The next one is even more special because it's totally custom-made. It was drawn by our friend, Sean Hartter, who's a really talented Graphic Artist. It's a Japanese-influenced "ad poster" with minimal colors. The cool thing about it, you might not notice, is that the image is filtered & it looks like an actual woodcut print on paper. Which again, is sort of an homage to the whole Japan printing technique. In other words, it looks like the real deal but it's not, ha ha! Thanks again Sean, another cool wallpaper!

BATMAN MOVIE POSTER & STATUE Desktop Wallpapers

OK Boys & Girls, It's time again for "Wacky Wallpaper Wednesday" here at the Bat-Blog, OH YEAH! This week I'm proud to say that the 2 super-awesome Batman backgrounds we're showing here today were totally contributed by Bat-Blog Readers. The 1st one is an original from a graphic artist friend named Sean Hartter. I really love this one because it's so creative. It's a Batman & Joker image made to look like an old vintage 1970's movie poster or, actually, a movie theater lobby card. I like all the great little details, like the vintage 70's Warner Bros logo. This would have been a really great film too what with William S. Burroughs writing it! It also has Christopher Walken as Batman & David Bowie as The Joker...great stuff! The 2nd wallpaper is really great too. It was sent in by The BATFAN, who has been sharing his amazing Batman Art Collection with us recently. The graphic here is an original piece of production art drawn by Jim Lee, the Master! This was his prototype drawing for the "Jim Lee" Batman: Black and White Statue. Since this piece of ceramic art is so popular it's really cool to see the original sketch. Plus, I'm a big fan so it's always a treat to see his work. So, I hope most of you like these & I wanna thank both Hartter & BATFAN for contributing the art here...you guys ROCK!!
