All right, January 1st and I am committing to a theme! The timing is right with Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad both coming out this year.

"Dawnski," you ask, "Are you out of your mind on a Batman party? It's so not horror." Nay I say. You've got such wonderful villains like The Joker, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn, Penguin, Riddler and more. There are opportunities for some horror themes with Arkham asylum and Joker's Fun land. In regards to props, I am starting from scratch on this one, folks. There is very little on this theme here on HF. And not much "adult" party wise on the Internet. But I am happy to be a trail blazer in this area.

So for now, this board is going to be all about ideas. Please chime in your thoughts. As the year progresses I'll share my prop building and setting up. So click on "killer post" below or add a comment so you can follow along on this crazy Halloween journey I'm taking for 2016. Here is my idea board https://www.pinterest.com/zim2/halloween-dc-villains/ and art board https://www.pinterest.com/zim2/art-batmandc/

Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho..... Your little party wouldn't be complete without me now would it? For purely selfish reasons I'm loving your dedication to recreating my sick little world. :D

Your motivation is untamable! You've got some excellent ideas. I might have to come over to wreak havoc for copyright reasons though. :mad: :p Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ha, ha, ha. I assume you're going to have someone in costume imitating me during the festivities?

Where in IL are you anyway? Anywhere near Chicago? Are you going to have an outdoor display for passers-by to enjoy?

Just a thought... you know my main motivation in life is to watch things burn. When I toyed with the mob one of my goals was to steal bags of cash. And you can't forget me setting the mobs cash ablaze. Maybe there's an idea in there somewhere like creating a mountain of cash with empty cardboard boxes, and gluing fake bills all over it? Not to mention the cloth sacks of cash you can have laying around? Just a thought if you're looking to recreate my world. Ohhh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho, ho, ha, ha.....

lol. I'm such a dork.

Robbed the Gotham City bank today. Finally got around to some prop making. If I don't use them like Joker suggested, I'll put them in various villain areas. Think these make fun photo props too. Planning to make some more. They're about a foot tall.

I'm doing a little homage to Jack Nicholson's Joker when he did the dance in the museum and destroyed art.
I made a Gotham City Museum of Modern Art sign (also seen in Batman '66 TV show). Joker turned it into Ham City Museum of Crappy Art. And then I've included other art that the joker has messed with. This will go in our main entrance hallway. There will be a dummy security guard at the entrance knocked out.

I was going to include these in the modern art exhibit, but honestly I don't have enough space in the hallway. I've put my hubbie's collection of Alex Ross art on one wall. This should be a fun back drop for photos.

Spent all afternoon on phase 1 of my Batman Returns penguin bombs project. Cutting and putting gems on foam sheets for the penguin's armature. Plan to paint and glue these onto the penguin blow molds. Keeping my fingers crossed that this works out for me.

Penguin progress so far. Looking good, but, OMG this is a tedious job. I worked on this all weekend with not much to show. Armor is all painted. I have the components made for the bomb, but still need to finish it. I'm using Gorilla Glue to adhere the armor to the penguin. It's been a slow process.

Looking fantastic! I too was trying to make some commando penguins, and had to walk away for a bit. What a pain in the butt. (It looked so easy from the pinterest pin I had. hahaha Isn't that always the case?)
Good luck. They are looking awesome so far!

Interesting story. A Pinterest admirer contacted me about ideas for a hero/villain birthday party for adults. Only this one is happening on May 21st in West Africa! I sent pages of creative ideas for when you have no supplies. She is uber-geeked to make something happen. I'm wishing her luck and hopefully she'll send me some photos.

A quick and easy Joker in the Box. This is going in my Joker Funland room. It's one of those Xmas snowman. The box opens and closes. I've got two of them. Should be good for a giggle. The little mitten hands for the Joker crack me up.

Finished a part of my Joker Funland lair. I painted a kraft drum with Gesso paint and then the Wildfire paint to look like a circus stand.

Got some foam board from the Dollar Store. I cut these out to interlock.

I plan to have this on the floor underneath our paddle fan. I'm taking a skeleton and dressing him up as Robin. He will be tied up and hanging over the fire. A sign around his neck will read, "Greetings from The Joker." A little death trap nod to the Batman '66 TV show. Batman is going to lose it when he sees this.

I've just caught up with what you're doing. WOW! I love the style you've got going, and I am super tickled by the rocket penguins!

I can't remember if you are doing any Riddler stuff, but just in case, I wanted to pass on these chocolate question mark lollipop molds I just found.

the company that makes them has tons of other designs, so maybe they'll have something else you could use. And they are all cheap & seem to be well reviewed.
