Jon's RANDOM ACTS OF GEEKERY Website Interviews The BAT-BLOG!

People who have been reading the Bat-Blog for awhile might enjoy this, I hope, ha! But I was recently interviewed by a fellow Blogger & Batman Fan, named Jon, who writes the awesome RANDOM ACTS OF GEEKERY website. At his site he wrote some profiles of "Comic Book Related" Bloggers called "The Way of The Geek". I was # 6 in the series. Wow! It was really an honor to be included in this group of Writers. I know some of them, so that's kinda cool. Basically, Jon sent me a ton of questions to answer & I answered them. Then, he edited the content. I really didn't know how it was going to come out but now, after seeing the finished product, Jon did a great job with it. So, if you would like to know a little bit more about the guy who writes this crazy Bat-Blog then please be sure to just click HERE! Oh yeah, while you're there please be sure to also check out Jon's website. I know you'll like his blog, it's really good & there's a ton of neat stuff there! I also wanna thank Jon for this opportunity, it was a lot of fun!

Kanike's HEATH LEDGER JOKER ART Pen & Ink Drawing

This drawing was sent in by a loyal Bat-Blog Reader named Kanike. She is totally obsessed with the Joker character! She loves all the different versions of the Joker from the comic books, animated cartoons, video games, movies, etc...In fact she has even started a blog about it called RANCID RAINBOW. Anyways, here's a drawing she recently did of the Joker from the Dark Knight Batman movie. Of course it's the Heath Ledger version & it looks just like him. Now, overall the picture is really excellent but the neat clever thing is that the lines are mostly made-up of small words. From far away it looks like a graphic but if you look at it very close-up you'll see that they're words like "Ha Ha Ha!". For example, look at Joker's eyes...they're made with the words "Anarchy & Chaos", very cool! Now, I did mention her blog, which is all about the Prince of Crime. Here's a link to check it out, just click HERE!

THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD: THE LOST ISSUES

There's a brand-new Batman blog I discovered recently that I have to share because it's really funny & very clever . In fact I wish I would have thought of it, ha ha! It's called THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD: THE LOST ISSUES. Basically it's a parody humor site with vintage issues of the original "Brave & The Bold" Comic Books that have been mashed-up with other comics to produce books that were never made. But, they're all ones we wish they did! Like, he did one with Batman & "Batman Beyond" that is awesome! There's even one where the Caped Crusader teams-up with Captain James T. Kirk of Star Trek ( hilarious! ). In most of artwork for the fake covers the Photoshop technique is extremely well done. I mean, they look totally real! I think that's a large part of making them so funny. They just seem so believable. You'll find yourself thinking, "Hey, how did I miss that when it came out?". Here's a link if you want to check it out sometime, just click HERE!

Personal News: BAT-BLOG.COM Gets a Nice Plug!

Over at the POP CULTURE SHOCK website the Bat-Blog gets a nice mention in the NO CURE FOR COMICS section. Our friend Matt did a story about the "Comic Blog Elite" site & mentions that the Bat-Blog is Number 2 on their list of worthy blogs. Actually, we were Number 1 for almost a year but that's cool ( I'm not bitter, ha ha! ) I mean, if you're in 2nd place, it makes you work harder, right? Anyways, thanks to Matt for the shout out!
