Batman TV Series Props: Batarang and Bat-Communicator

I had picked up these two prop replicas at a Star Trek convention about twenty years ago. I thought it was too cool to have picked these up. I also picked up the Green Hornets mask at the same time, which I will share in another post.

CY Productions produces awesome Batman TV Series props. Everything from Batarangs to utility belts. I may have even bought these from Clint Young, who owns CY Productions, but I don't remember.



My Batarang and Bat-Communicator came as kits and had to be assembled and painted. I never really finished them. You can see below the hinges were never painted and has some scratches that need to be touched up.

The Bat-Communicator does not have the electronics hooked up and is missing the brass balls for the antennas. Confound it, the batteries are dead!

Here is a closer look with the antennae down. It wouldn't take much to get these in tip top shape, but I do need to put aside the time to work on them.

CY Productions sells both of these fully assembled and ready for action. Clint's new versions of the Batarangs are no painted. The plastic is molded in the correct color and comes in blue (like the TV series) or in black. So there is worry about scratching it. In case you didn't know Cy Productions produced the majority of replica's for the Batman reunion movie "Return to the Batcave."

How to Build a Life Sized Batmobile Tumbler.

It seems most Bat Fans I know prefer the George Barris 1966 version of the Batmobile. But if you love all styles of the Dark Knights crime fighting vehicle or prefer the new Christian Bale version, here's how to put together one for yourself as a display model.

I came across the site Instructables on how to make a life sized Batmobile Tumbler and Batman Themed Halloween Display and thought it was pretty clever. The articles explains it's so simple an average Joe can put it together, which is good for me as you wouldn't know I am my Father's son. I am only handy when I need to be.

The author, Jerry Jodloski did it as a Halloween Display last year. It came complete with an animated Batman, a Bat Signal, Batman themed music, Bat sound effects, and his wife Heather dressed as Batgirl. Check it out. It's pretty cool. I wonder if my wife would let me do this for Halloween this year?
