Mondo Gallery: Batman 80th Anniversary Exhibit (May 2019)


2019 was so amazing in retrospect. I guess everything looks great compared to 2020, but 2019 was especially great because of all the travel I got to experience. Also, it was Batman's 80th Anniversary so I got to experience ALL of the Batman things like the Mondo exhibit for Batman's 80th Anniversary.

I'm sorry I'm sharing this content SO LATE, but I knew I'd get around to it eventually. It only took a pandemic. Hah... geeze, I can't wait for all of this to be over.

Anyway, check out pictures below of the artwork that was on display . This was in May 2019 (I know, I know). I actually enjoyed the Batman75th Anniversary Mondo exhibit better. I didn't make any purchases at their 80th Anniversary exhibit, but it was still 100% worth the trip. I was REALLY close to purchasing the artwork for A Death In the Family because it's such an iconic moment in comic book history. I was being judicious, though, because I still have so many pieces of art (including several from Mondo) that I've yet to frame and display. What is art if not to show off, right? Also a note, I visited on the last day of the exhibit so it was pretty quiet and some of the pieces were actually already sold out.

Browse below and let me know what your favorites are!

Speaking of Mondo, did you guys catch any of their Comic-Con/SDCC2020 releases? I grabbed a copy of the Batman: The Animated Series 8XLP Box Set - Volume 2. I can't wait to share it with you once I have it in my hands come October.

Batman x Achieve (Rooster Teeth) Collection (Batman 80th Anniversary)


I have a ton of content from Batman's 80th Anniversary last year that I never got to posting, but shelter-in-place gives you that opportunity to get around to stuff you never got around to so here we are!

I'm finally sharing the items I bought from the Batman x Achieve (Rooster Teeth) collection that came out last year for Batman's 80th Anniversary. These items actually came out soon after the other Batman x Rooster Teeth items that I posted in November.

First, the hat! I needed a solid, everyday black hat and this hat was perfect with the simple logo in the front and yellow patch in the back.


The sweater is HEFTY. It's probably the heaviest, thickest hoodie I have in the house and perfect for cold nights.


Finally, the long sleeve shirt is my most worn item.

...

Well, I mean I guess it was when I was still going out in public. I probably wear the hoodie more now that we're at home all the time. 😀 

Check out the design details below. I think the lat/long coordinates are New York. 🤔  If anyone has any insight into the lat/long values, feel free to sound off in the comments.


If you're interested in seeing what the other items in the collection look like, check out this article: https://www.cbr.com/rooster-teeth-batman-clothing-line-announcement/.  I loved a lot of the other shirts, but I don't wear t-shirts often since they don't fit great on me so I couldn't justify buying more. If you're interested, though, the hat along with another shirt (that I don't own) are still available on their website.
