Does anyone have a picture of Mayor Borg handy?  I've been looking on the internet for one but the only I can find as of now is too tiny for what I want to do.  If you have one of the Topps Trading card, that would even be better!  I would greatly appreciate it if you could me out.

Thank You!!!

This maybe the coolest pic of Jack Nicholson that I have ever seen.

I love the Iron Giant and thought I would share this link with anyone else here who happens to love the Big Guy too! It's a lot of what is in this person's collection, but if you love this movie as much as I do or as much as this guy does, then I think you'll like this site.

I was going through some old links tonight when I ran across this.

Not sure if this has been posted, but it's a lot of fun to watch.  Enjoy!

Here is the review of the film from The Washington Post

Here is a question, what is on your want list when it comes to your Batman collection?  If you could have anything in your BATMAN collection, what would it be?  No matter how un-realistic or realistic, I am curious to see what others are searching for.  Would it be a movie poster signed by the cast?  A ride in the Batmobile?  Or even better, the Batmobile?!  Would it be an issue of Starlog magazine with Batman on the cover?  Would it be a pair of Batman high tops?  A beach towel?  A puzzle?  A Bob The Goon action figure?  Taco Bell adverts and giveaways?

For me I would like to finish my Ertl 1/64 collection.  I still need the Batman/Joker two pack.  I would love to have the merchandise catalog they advertise on the BATMAN VHS.  I also need the movie posters (original and double sided!) and in a picture frame.  I'd also like to obtain the P.O.P. material they sent out to the video retailers for the VHS release.  I'd also love to have the entire run of Variety Daily from the month of June of 1989.  If you get a chance, take a look at your local library.  You'll know what I mean once you see it!  And of course I'd love to get my hands on the Batman pinball machine and arcade video game.  Yeah that would make my day alright!

There are several other things on my want list, so what is on yours?

This topic was going on in another thread for a bit, so I decided to give it a thread of it's own.  This is a list of all the Batman and Batman Returns anniversary dates to remember.  I'm still trying to track down the CBS date.  If anyone can lend a hand, let me know.  Thanks!

Here are three You Tube clips I thought you all might enjoy.  Sorry if these are a repost.

The first one is some commercials from 1989.  Nice TV spot for Batman at the beginning.  And if anyone cares, towards the end there is a nice TV spot for Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

The second one is part of a CBS special for Batman Returns.  This part focuses on Catwoman.  No, I haven't tracked down the other parts.  Yet.

The third one is an interview with Michelle Pfeiffer talking about Catwoman and Batman Returns.

I was at the thrift store a while back and I discovered a VHS copy of Batman, whose cover box is a little banged up and looks exactly the same as all the other VHS tapes, but this one had the words "Compliments of diet Coke. Not for sale or rental." on the cover.  And on the tape it says, "Compliments of diet Coke and Warner Home Video Inc."  I never new it existed so I paid the $0.95 cents for it and brought it home.

So does anyone have any ideas of a contest that what was going on with diet Coke where they were giving away VHS copies for free or any information pertaining to this?  If you do, let me know.

I was just looking through the pictures and I found this:

I didn't even know that this existed.  Can anyone tell me about it?  Is it a promo?  It it a bootleg?  What year was it released?  What does it sound like?

Basically, if you can enlighten me, I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks!

I found this link the other day and thought once again I would share it with all of you.  This is a link to the album Prince helped Kim Basinger put together but never saw the light of day except in the tape trading circles.  It's one of those cool things to add to your collection if nothing else.  Hope you enjoy.

I found this a couple of weeks back and thought I would share it with all of you.  This is a link that takes you to some reviews of Prince's Batman album from 1989. I hope you enjoy.

I found this link the other day and thought I would share it with all of you.  Someone has posted the Batman Audiobook in MP3 and for those who would like to listen to it or even burn a copy onto CD like I am, then this is ideal for you. Hope you enjoy!
