Kellogg's Batman and Robin Postcard Cutouts


These babies were lurking in the dark recesses of my collection...Back in 1997 they were on boxes of Kellogg's cereals. I apparently didn't find anyone to mail them to. I like how in the second pic, Clooney Batman is contriving to cover the much-maligned nipples, likely for the sake of impressionable cereal-eating youngsters. I never quite had the problem with the nipples most fans are supposed to have - if a suit features an idealized male torso, they might as well go all the way. Why be delicate about fake nipples and not fake abs? Of course, they didn't do the equal and opposite for the Alicia Silverstone Batgirl, and I'd just as soon keep anatomical correctness above the belt...

I honestly don't know how he could move in that suit, let alone fight crime.

I was going to mention that he was covering up the Bat-nipples, too, but you beat me to it. The Bat-nipples didn't bother me as much as the entire movie did...

I find that film to have some moments of genius amongst a lot of confusion, though I realize I could be stoned in polite fanboy circles for saying anything positive about it. But Schu's Batman would have probably worked better in old fashioned spandex.

lol...yeah, don't broadcast the fact that you find something redemptive in that movie.

I just don't like George Clooney. He bugs me a lot more than the suit does.

If it makes you feel any better, I really liked the third movie (the one with Val Kilmer), which I later found out was panned by fanboys, too.

Hello,
Nice blog i like it
Props from the movie sets can come from a variety of sources. Often, after a film's premiere, the studio will auction off many of the props and costumes used in the film for the purpose of charity.
