DC Comics #Batman: HARLEY QUINN Explained #BTAS

2016-03-27T08:30:00.000-07:00

As a huge fan of "Batman: The Animated Series" I have always loved Harley Quinn. This character was actually invented in the cartoon first and then later became a fixture of the "comic book world",

She is also about to be depicted in a new live-action movie, Suicide Squad, which I think is going to introduce her into a larger mass audience who is sort of unfamiliar with her origins.

So, this is the reason I chose to feature this "character history" video from Comic Explained. It gives a nice intro to her... Enjoy!

Everybody's favorite toy company, Funko, has plans later in the year to release a brand-new toy line called "Rock Candy". These will be highly stylized versions of the "girl" superhero characters from the world of DC Comics. These figures are about 5" tall.

Knowing Funko, I'm sure they're gonna go totally crazy with this and there will be MANY more characters. Stay tuned to the BAT-BLOG for more information once Funko releases it.

I have been meaning to post these photos for awhile. About a month or 2 ago I received a very nice letter from a girl in Florida named Syreeta. The pics got sort of lost in my old computer when it crashed and I just recently got them back. Also, I hope I spelled her name correctly, like I said, it was awhile back.

Anyways, she was very sweet and sent along a few photos of a car her friend (or maybe "Boyfriend"? Sorry, I forget) had customized with "Poison Ivy" Batman-themed graphics.

Just check out the pics, this car is insanely beautiful!! I love the lime green and the hood graphic is sharp and clean.... nice job guys and thank you Syreeta!

#BATMAN JUNK ART - Metal Sculptures by Patrick Amiot!

OK, there is a Public "Batman" Art Sculpture in California that I recently became obsessed with (pictured up above). I knew it existed, but I wanted to find out who the Artist was who made it.

Well, I found out that is name is Patrick Amiot and he not only did this Batman sculpture but a few more. He does amazing work! He takes metal and other "junk" then he converts them into totally whimsical characters.

I mean, besides the Dark Knight he has also done Baseball Players, Crazy Bikers, Funny Dogs, Cute Fish, Birds, Cats, etc... wayyyy too much to list here!

Hey, just check out his WEBSITE sometime and look at his Gallery page. You will be in for a real treat!
