Magazine article: Lee's Action Figure News April 1995

Brief article from Lee's Action Figure News April 1995 - not about the Kenner figures sadly - covering the statues from Applause. I've seen a few of these on eBay - and own some of the mugs - but the paint work is so sloppy I'm not in any rush to pick most of these up.

Just to note those aren't the ceramic mugs at the end, they are incorrectly captioned. They are actually the cheaper plastic mugs. That Batman one looks horrific.

Magazine article: Starburst #204 - Part 2

The rest of Starburst's 204 issue sees Chris O'Donnell talk about playing Robin and then the Batchlers discuss writing the script. Sad to say they weren't asked back for Batman 4 and many of the projects mentioned at the end of the article never saw the light of day. Their most recent credit was the 2014 Paul WS Anderson film Pompeii.

Magazine article: Starburst #204 - Part 1

Starburst magazine had a big issue looking at the making of Batman Forever. First up is Peter McGregor-Scott talking about moving from producing The Fugitive to making the new Batman film. An interesting tit bit, Andrew Davis (director of The Fugitive) was at one time rumored to take over from Joel Schumacher after Batman & Robin - this was, of course, before that film opened.

Concept Art: Costumes

Here's some costume sketches for Batman Forever. I've got to say I really like the second Robin one. It’s a shame that never made it to the screen.
