Saturday night cruising in Paprihaven, in a murky area outside the city proper, spooky happenings are afoot...*

 

🎵 Who you gonna call! 🎶

 

After hearing of strange sounds, a blood curdling scream, and a mysterious 'klonk!',* the Caped Crusaders convened at the eerie scene.** But, just as they were beginning their Batastic detective work, the Ghostbusters have arrived!

 

Stantz: It's Batman!

 

Robin: And ROBIN! Dangerous dial-ups, Batman, who did you call??

 

Batman: Not these people.

 

Venkman: Just as well, Batso, better step aside aside and let the professionals handle this.

 

Spengler: Just an initial survey, I'm detecting no paranormal activity across any spectrum.

 

BZZRRRRRRRMMMM!!

 

Zeddmore: Well, let's see if we can scare em out!

 

Batman: What's he doing?

 

Stantz: He's firing up one of our photon packs. It looks like he's going to fire it at the house.

 

Batman: Tell him not to do that.

 

Venkman: So, what's the deal here? A poltergeist heist? Did you trap our ghosts in some rip-off Bat-Ghost Trapper?

 

Batman: We have not seen ghosts, nor do we expect to.

 

Stantz: Zeddmore, hold on firing the plasma!!

 

Venkman: A skeptic, huh?

 

Batman: We had a report of possible violence associated with the owner of this house.

 

Stantz: Well, you have to admit, it looks more up our alley than yours.

 

Batman: All alleys are mine.

 

Spengler: Deeper scans still show nothing. This place is dead. And not in the way we like it.

 

Venkman: So, what's going on out here?

 

thooommm...

 

Stantz: Did you hear that?

 

Venkman: I think everyone heard that.

 

Batman: Something BIG is coming.

 

THOOOOOMMM...

“I have failed you.... I wish there were another way for me to say it. I cannot. I can only beg your forgiveness, and pray you hear me somehow, someplace... someplace where a warm hand waits for mine. I shall always remember you: surrounded by winter, forever young, forever beautiful. Rest well, my love. The monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish best served... COLD.”

Mr Freeze is one of my all time favorite Batman villains! He's got such an interesting history behind him, and Paul Dini's re-imagining of Victor Fries holds some incredible merit, when he re-created such a tragic and beautiful character!

 

With the recent TLBM armor/helmet piece, I really wanted to do something I hadn't before! With so many great Mr Freeze Lairs here on flickr, inspiration was rich, but ultimately I strived to build my own version of the iconic setting! I suppose if anything, my aesthetic derived from Dustin Nguyen's illustrations of the character, and a little of Tim Lydy's stuff too :)

 

Really though, the minifig is what started this all off! Using only the finest ingredients, I feel like I've created the ultimate B:TAS Freeze, right down to the Sand-Purple gloves :P

It was key for me to get that figure right before anything else began!

 

FYI for you purist nuts:

 

TLBM Helmet/Armor

10737 Juniors Head

Galaxy Squad Torso

LBR Employee Arms, BL Item No: tls086

CMF Clockwork Robot Hips (Series 6)

Zam Wesell Sand-Purple Hands

 

(If you use it... Credit where credit is due...)

 

Anyway, I also wanted Batman to have some kind of heated/thermal suit so taking some influence from Dlyan's Telltale Batman from August last year flic.kr/p/KdmCvd I altered the design a bit and put a spin on it! :)

 

But with that said, Patreon has a whole bunch of extra content, including how I incorporated lighting into the build, obviously a closer look at the build itself, some alternate Batman suit ideas, and some other cool stuff too! A total of 12 images, with one more being uploaded tonight! :)

 

So go take a look at all that stuff because I don't want to type anything else! :P

J is for Joker. Not just any ol' joker, but Batman the Animated Series Joker.

The one from the Animated Series

AHAHAAA!!

 

Hideous humor, Riddler! Why are you laughing now?? We deleted your Temporal Displacement program so you're time machine won't work!

 

Oh, we'll see Boy Wonder! Haha! Have you truly figured out my riddle?

 

Of course we did! Your plan to transport the world's worst killers from the future to our time is foiled!

 

Wait, Robin. The riddle. "The time machine brings 530 stone cold killers to the past. 530 is the number." It seemed a bit obvious that the clues led us to this computer. I felt Riddler was guiding us. What if the entire computer program was a ruse?

 

Gosh, Batman! Then where is the time machine??

 

On the wall, Robin. So simple. A clock. A machine that tells time. I believe we'll find a remote detonator inside the clock that will fire off at 5:30.

 

Tempestuous time, Batman! It's 5:15 now!

 

Plenty of time for me to indulge in a long monologue Robin.

 

HAHAHA! Even if you remove the remote detonator Batman, you don't know where the bomb is hidden!

 

Oh, I believe I do.

 

CURSES!! How could you!?

 

Your own vengeful pride, Riddler. "530 stone cold killers" made me think of Coldstone Munitions and, specifically, their 530 model automatic. I then went through Coldstone's correspondence files and found letters from one "Eddie N." Edward Nigma, I guessed. 'E. Nigma'. You, Riddler.

 

Crazed communications, Batman! What did the letters say??

 

A lot of angry things, Robin. Nigma was angry that the model 530 had not worked as he planned when modified for use in his cane. Of course Coldstone had rightly replied that their gun was not meant for such customizations. Nigma was so angry that he promised retribution on the factory so that the model 530 would be a "thing of the past".

 

Agonizing allegories, Batman! "The time machine brings 530 stone cold killers to the past."

 

Exactly, Robin. So now I'll simply deactivate the remote detonator in this clock and then we can head over to Coldstone to remove the bomb. We'll even have time to stop by the Paprihaven Police Department on the way and drop off our 'time traveling' fraud.

PLOOMPH! PLOOMPH!

 

"Perilous parasols, Batman! That waddling fowl of foul play is shooting umbrellas at us!"

 

"Don't let it hit you, Robin!"

 

SWWWSSSHHHH

 

"This one's for you, Batbum! Stare at my hypnosis umbrella and become my Batslave! Watch the swirling colors..."

 

"Unbelievable umbrellas of umbrage, Batman!!"

 

"Not to worry, Robin! I am wearing my anti-hypnosis Bat-lens!"

 

"WAUGH!!! How should I to know they'd have anti-hypnosis Bat-lens handy? Why, you discombobulating do-gooders!"

"What is Rum Pan Stew?" That's the question on everyone's minds as a group of amazing colorful characters got together to spell out the cryptic message using the letters on their costumes.

 

Is it part of a publicity stunt, soon to be revealed? Or does it spell danger for Paprihaven??

 

Time will tell.

When The Penguin is angry he hops in his Umbrella Roto-Roadster and goes to town.

 

Today he is angrily driving in circles to protest the latest installment of Hall of the Forest King in which a penguin was killed.*

 

"Waaa! Waaaa! Waaa!! I'll shut down this theater until my demands are met! And just let the Vaped Crusader and the Boy Blunder try to stop me! WAAA!!!"

 

Happy 🍔🍟Friday!

Here is my custom DC Collectibles Batman The Animated Series Batman figure. I was on the fence about picking this one up, especially after hearing all the horror stories. Luckily I did get him and I was thrilled. Thankfully it did not break after tinkering with it and I remain extremely careful when handling it. After taking him out of package I had to give him a custom cape, and of course I did. I ended up botching the first cape but the second one came out perfectly. I can't wait for the original costume figure to be released.

Here is my custom DC Collectibles BTAS custom cape Dick Grayson Robin figure. I am huge fan of cloth capes as they tend to improve upon the look of the figure. So I decided to do a two layered cape for Robin. This ended up being a bigger hassle than expected, but the end result looks awesome on him.
