My Super Hero Themed 40th Birthday Party.



Hero cake with Batman, Spiderman & Superman cupcakes

 I have been meaning to post pictures from my 40th birthday party and have finally got to it. Thanks to my wonderful non-geek, but super cool wife for putting the party all together. The cool thing is it was a comic book super hero themed birthday costume party.

My wife and I were the The Green Hornet and Kato. I figured if Seth Rogen can be The Green Hornet so could I. I do have a replica of the mask Van Williams wore on the Green Hornet TV series, but the one I wore was the Green Hornet costume that came out this year to promote the new movie.

I have always had an interest in Cosplay (check out Derf's Domain, he interviews the most popular Cosplayer's in the business) but have never really pursued my interest in that. I do believe I have really picked up the bug for that and will be looking into putting together some cool costumes. The party was a great way to experience it first hand.




Green Hornet, Wolverine, and SG

 I was really pleased how the party turned out and for everyone really getting into it. I can't believe I didn't think of doing this before. I think I need to be doing  this every year from now one. Check out the pics below for the great time had by all.

 Isn't dressing up as your favorite comic book characters the best. Aside form collecting comic books and related toys of course.

ABC 25th Anniversary Salute to Batman

There are so many appearances of Adam West and Burt Ward that I remember as a kid, but this was not one of them. This could be because I was probably about 3 years old when this ABC 25th Anniversary salute to Batman aired.

I love coming across footage like this. It's like finding a vintage Mego Batman action figure in mint condition. For an anniversary show or even an awards show, I think this little skit was well done with not only including Batman and Robin, but Batgirl too. It also included clips from the series and many guest star reactions to clips.

Adam West Gets a Star in Palm Springs

TVs Batman Adam West deservedly received a star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars a couple of weeks ago. Here is a look at the ceremony.




Looks like fellow Bat Fan Scott Sebring was there in his Batsuit too, along Robin and Batgirl. Very cool.

Mego Batgirl Comes to Life

I came across this pic taken by Brian C Carter from his Fanboy photo set and thought this girl looked a Mego Batgirl came to life.

Batgirl in a sea of comic books. Yum!

The Superheroine Monologues

I just came across this cool looking play called 'The Superheroine Monologues' and wish I could have checked it out. Looks like it was in Boston last year in April and September.

It features all your favorite super heroines in their costumed deliciousness. It even featured Batman villains the Penguin, the Joker, and the Riddler as well as, Superman's arch enemy Lex Luthor.

The play tells the stories of Batgirl, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Dark Phoenix, Catwoman, Lois Lane, and Storm.












This looks like it was a lot of fun and pretty funny. Hope it comes out on DVD or I get chance to see it if it goes into production again. Check out their site at TheSuperheroineMonologues.com.

Happy Easter From The Batcave Toy Room

Batgirl in a bunny outfit? Egghead you are the smartest criminal out there. Happy Easter everyone. Hope you have an eggciting day.

Batgirl Does the Batusi

Adam West performed the famous Batusi in two episodes during the Batman TV series 120 episode run. Once in the pilot episode "Hi, Diddle Riddle" and then again in "The Pharoah's In a Rut".

With Yvonne Craig being a dancer it surprises me that they never wrote it in an episode to have Batgirl doing the iconic Bat dance. What's up with that?

Holy Acts of Congress! Batgirl Wants Equal Pay

Most of the Batman cast was reunited in 1974 for the PSA message for equal pay for men and woman. When the 1989 Batman movie came out a lot of footage came out that was Batman related including this commercial.

I do vaguely recall seeing this when it originally was airing although I was about 4 years old. Every bit of Batman footage that had been archived came out of the wood work in 1989. I remember seeing this on a compilation tape of various Batman footage called 'Batmania'.

William Dozier came back to do the Desmond Doomsday narration, Burt Ward as Robin, and Yvonne Craig as Batgirl. All reprised their roles for this Public Service announcement, but no Adam West. I've never been able to find out why he didn't participate. Maybe he was still fighting the type casting thing. Batman was portrayed by Richard Gautier, who was best known as Hymie the Robot on Get Smart. It's fun to watch. Check it out.

Cast of Batman on Family Feud

I became a fan of the 1966 Batman TV series while my family still lived in Chicago before I started elementary school. To my disappointment I discovered when we moved that Batman did not air Las Vegas. Although, George Reeves as Superman did, but alas, no Batman

The only thing I had to look forward too was that the 1966 Batman movie would air a couple times a year. So I always looked forward to anything I could set my eyes on Batman TV series related.

Whether it be interviews, guest staring on other TV shows, or in this case game shows.

Here is an appearance of the cast of Batman on Family Feud that aired in the early 80's. Adam West, Burt Ward, Yvonne Craig, Lee Meriwether, and Vincent Price played for charity among other TV show stars of the 60's. I had the opportunity to meet Richard Dawson around this time by running into him at McCarran Airport in Las Vegas.









I remember watching this like yesterday. It' fun to watch again.

I am Going To Need an Ocean of Calamine Lotion

I don't know what it is, but I love women in super hero costumes. I don't care if it's Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl or in this case The Dark Knight's itch inducing villain, Poison Ivy.

Batman would have his hands full with this one. I love the creativity that goes into the outfits Bat-Fans put together.

You can see the full photo shoot HERE. If you have photos of yourself in costume, send them in. We'd love to post them.

Holy Womens Wear! Bat Pantyhose.

I've seen many cool Batgirl costumes and different accessories, but this was the first time have actually seen something like this-Bat pantyhose. Now I don't think Batman would actually be caught wearing these (at least I hope not), but Batgirl might. I think they look pretty cool.



Has anyone seen these before?

Superheroine Commercial Gives Modern Look to Classic Shows

Television shows have been seeing new life in the form movies in recent years. Everything from The Flintstones and Scooby Doo going from cartoon to live action to shows from the 60's and 70's like Starsky & Hutch, Bewitched, and Land of the Lost. But as for our favorite Super Hero shows, we will probably never get to see updated treatments.

I mean there are fantastic movies like The Dark Knight and hopefully we will finally get a Wonder Woman movie soon, but we will never truly see updated versions of our favorite shows. This commercial for El Palacio de Hierro is probably the closest we will get to that happening. I think this gives the perfect modern look to shows we loved as kids and still do. Batgirl, Catwoman, and Wonder Woman all get a look of today with retaining their classic TV appearance.
