French photographer Remi Noël took a trip to the USA, with his fascination of American culture in mind. This set of images was captured in Texas, mainly between Houston and Dallas, and show the companion of the photographer, a tiny Batman action figure. In the black and white images, the tiny Batman figure can be seen having his “adventures.”
If you’re going to be a vigilante and play Batman, you need the gear to go along. Alfred and the Batcave might be difficult, and the Batmobile and the ninja skills, well, not even the massive Wayne Enterprises, but no one can take away the Batman costume from the heart set on saving Gotham. Once you’ve got the costume going, you need a utility belt for all the bat-gadgets.
As wacky cases go, getting the Tumbler to protect your iPhone 5/5S is one of the smarter choices you’re going to make. It is shaped like the Tumbler that covers the phone, one of the wheels moves sideways to make way for the phone camera, plus it has the added touch of a bat signal to make things spicier. The case is available for pre-orders till January 7, and will start shipping in March.
Made for golfing pleasure, this Tumbler Golf Cart started its life as a EZ-Go Golf Cart. Since the latter wouldn’t really be befitting of the dark knight, they stripped it down and rebuilt the golf cart into the tumbler shape from the frame. The tumbler has a top speed of 38mph, a brand new battery, four link rear suspension, and leather seats. This was up for auction on eBay.

Now it’s easier to understand the lure of the superhero life, no wonder Batman won’t give it up. He might have other motivations for fighting crime, but the “workplace” doesn’t look half bad. The print is the work of artist Mimi Yoon and is available on Kult.

Tired of sending out coal to naughty kids, Santa has decided to up his game. It’s expensive to fly around carrying bag loads of coal, and it just doesn’t work that well anyway. This Christmas, Santa is going to set things right with an ass-kicking. This time around, he is Santa “Batman” Claus. To play the new part, Santa will be wearing his hat with an added vinyl Batman mask and embroidered Batman logo to go along. But first, Santa needs to buy the hat for $20.
Good beer, good heroes, good light, and it should probably work as a signal to drink more. Costs $86.
The great workhorse that it is, even the Play Station 2 must give up sometime. When it does, you just might recycle it into something to continue with its glorious past. Daniel Shankalonian was handed two busted PlayStation 2s, and he proceeded to transform them into a Batman Tumbler sculpture. It is 9.5 inches long, 4.5 inches tall, and available for $250 on Etsy.
Inspired by the ’60s TV show Batman, this Batmobile is built on a custom Lincoln chassis, and gets its powers from a 430 hp engine that works with a Monster TH350 automatic transmission. Batman wasn’t cool enough to give up the atomic batteries or turbines, so makers of this car mounted a propane cylinder in the rear for the afterburner effects.
Illustrations by Scott Wade put Batman and associated characters in the midst of action in medieval Japan. The series include Batman, Gordon and Mr. Freeze, all transported to be comfortable in the setting of feudal Japan. The style given the time period, is quite similar to the better known Japanese woodblock print gaming series by artist Jed Henry.
