I'm not sure what town this is from but it looks like one of those kind of city contests where each community gets a statue to paint & these people decided to make theirs Batman! Either way it's a great choice & very nicely painted.
It's BAT-BEAR!

Batman Wallpaper # 2 & 3
This weeks Bat-Wallpaper features photos from the new BATMAN BEGINS movie. I can't tell you how relieved I was that this was such a great movie, I mean, when I saw that early trailer & got a look at that dune-buggy Batmobile I was really worried. But I did think Christian Bale was a good choice & in the end the Batmobile was awesome! It kinda made sense that it would be sort-of "homemade" looking. So far they plan at least 2 more movies & the Joker is set for the next film. Let's keep our fingers crossed that they don't get a director obsessed with bat-nipples, hee hee.

ARTIST : Steve Stanley
Here are two examples of some really well-drawn & very cool artwork by Steve Stanley. The black & white picture is a pastel drawing of the characters from the Classic 1966 TV Show, very nice! My favorite is titled "Atomic Batteries To Power...". At first it appears to be a photograph but at closer inspection it's a drawing, WOW! Here's a link to his webpage, be sure to check it out : http://www.stanleyart.com/main_intro.html
I AM BATMAN! ( Web Photo )
We all remember being a little kid & tying a towel around our necks to be Batman, hee hee. So, about once a week I'll post a wacky picture found on the internet of somebody all dressed up. I think it's funny to see adults dressed up & the little kids are very sweet....future Batman Collectors!
Custom Batmobile ( France )
I found these pictures about a week ago on the internet. Some guy in France built this Custom "Actual-Working, Real Car " Batmobile & it looks exactly like the Animated Series Cartoon Version....SWEET! I think he did an incredible job & the detailing is very very nice. I would love to drive this around on a Saturday night, all dressed up in a Batman costume, hee hee. My nephews ( ages 4 & 8 ) would totally freak-out! I wish I had a link to the actual webpage but all he had were these 3 pictures & really no other information. I'm curious if it's legal to drive & how much this thing actually cost!
