SO....my Bat-weekend is coming to an end! It has been a really fun Bat-weekend! I now have the display that was once only in my dreams as a 9 year old kid. My brother took me to see Keaton's Batman in the theater and when we went back home...the TV series was playing! I have been hooked on the TV series ever since. I have made so many wonderful life long friends along the way and can't imagine not having them in my life now. What a blessing! The costumes are a mix of work from my mom, Chuck and Lynne and can't forget Wally, Scott and the Hardemans! When I see these costumes, a ton of wonderful memories come my way. Working in my office has just gotten a whole lot more fun!!!

He's great like this and has a very natural Adam West vibe to it.
You could also add a Bat-A-Rang and rope or if you want to get really obscure, you could have him holding a test tube with colored powder and put a smock and surgical mask on him! Holy movie reference!!!!
WELL DONE Alex!! They both look great! Enjoy!!!!
Chuck...
Quick, Everyone, Flee for your lives, into the street!!!!
Color me jealous as well... and while you're at it get anemic Robin out for some sunshine! Poor old chum looks like he got too close to Bella from Twilight.
Chuck- I really do like the pose! Holy movie reference is right! LOL! I "could" do that....
Svl- Yeah...I noticed that too....since Chuck's Adam West fast cast is SO lifelike, I do have to do something with Robin's face and arms. Robin just looks so sea sick now. LOL!
Catgreg! I HAD the EXACT same thoughts! I looked at the picture above and thought....hmmmmmm....maybe one day it will be the tremendous trio! I love the pics of your batgirl and catwoman on display...and with the pictures too!!! Nice job!!!!
AWESOME set up! Though I find it funny and ironic that the only thing missing from this display is...A BAT SHIELD! (I happen to know this really cool guy who could sell you one, if you need it!)

Thanks Wally! You crack me up! Spill the beans....who is your BAT SHIELD contact! LOL!
In all seriousness though....I actually DID think about putting a shield in front of Batman and Robin but I decided not to for a couple of reasons. 1) You had the great idea of putting a Bat Shield in front of your Batman and Robin display and I didn't feel right to take your idea and copy it exactly. 2) I actually don't have a plain (unsigned) Bat Shield of my own!!!! I have a signed Bat Shield that is in a shadow box frame directly across from the Batman and Robin display. Below are some pics! The next time I put an unsigned Bat Shield together for someone...I just may take some new pics with it in front of Batman and Robin!
I have a few of those shields left...PM me if anyone might be interested!
