Batgirl #1 to be Released
Comic shelves have been littered as of late with Bat related heroes, heroines, and spinoffs. Written by Brian Q. Miller, who is also known for Smallville, the #1 issue has some good things going for it, especially the artwork which is top notch thanks to Lee Garbett.
The writing is also well crafted, the character of Batgirl herself well written, though the plot and storyline may make any avid comic book reader yawn. There is nothing new or overly exciting being told in this issue.

Comic Books and the Real World: Batman
DC comics and the Kuwati based comic group Teshkeel have agreed to team up for a unique and yet very common set of comic books. The Batman news is very interesting and could set off a wave of new Batman collectibles. Batman, and the rest of the DC universe, will fight side by side with the 99, a group of heroes based (subtly) on Muslim values.
MAD MAGAZINE : The Famous 1966 Batman TV Show COVER
Here's a wonderful black & white photo sent in to us from a Bat-Blog Reader named Michael who said he loved this old publicity photo of Chief O'Hara from the 1966 Batman TV Show reading Mad Magazine.
I have to agree, it's very cool!
The actor's name is Stafford Repp. While watching the show, as a little kid, I always liked his thick Irish accent.
Thanks Mike. The photo inspired me to hunt down my old issue of this classic magazine cover.
I show a picture of it next to yours & even made a Desktop Wallpaper for you to enjoy...Thanks again.
Vintage 1970’s BATMAN Comic Book Cover # 278
The other day I was talking with a friend about the Bat-Blog. I told him about how I have been writing the blog for 2 years now & I post 2-3 items every single day. OK, sometimes I miss a day but then I post 4-5 items to make it up, ha ha. Anyway, he said what do you do if you don't have an idea for a certain day? I told him, "I post a Classic Batman Comic Book Cover", ha ha.
