Rare photos of Two-Face, Bruce and Batman in Batman Forever

Looking back through this blog, I’m reminded that when I first started I had a steady stream of rare photos and magazine scans to share. That slowed down a few years ago when my scanner broke, and since then I haven’t had many opportunities to digitise more material. I’m hoping to change that over the coming months and start posting more finds again.

I don't know about you but I get such a thrill looking back through old photos and occasionally uncovering something that’s been tucked away and unseen for years.

Recently, PropStore released another batch of photos featuring props from Batman Forever. Hidden among them were some newspapers containing these fantastic photos of Two-Face, Batman and Bruce Wayne.

I know this first image - Two-Face looking through his cell bars - has been around for a while, and a lot of us probably hoped it hinted at a deleted scene featuring him in prison. But I think now it was more likely just a posed promotional photo created for props like these.

Here’s a link to PropStore so you can check out the other Batman Forever props they currently have available.

Batman Forever Merchandise Review - McDonalds Special

I know I reviewed the incredible McDonalds glass mugs previously but that was over 5 years ago(!) and since then I've picked up lots of other McDonalds merchandise so it felt like a good time to take stock and do a big, long McDonalds Special.

It's fascinating to see how the promotional tie-in was handled around the world. Everyone seemed to have a different thing going on - mugs, pogs, badges, cards. 

I've got to admit, being from the UK, it's gutting that we only got a prize draw thing and a cardboard Batman mask (stick around until the end to see what that looks like). I don't even remember seeing that tie-in at the time. I guess I didn't visit McDonalds enough.

Over half the video is taken up with going through the 3D cards that only got released in New Zealand. These are really interesting and unique. I don't think many people have seen these before. I particularly love the hand drawn cards (and the funny typos).

 Did I miss anything that you got in your part of the world? Is my collection complete? Let me know.
