My start at Batman props

[The Wolf]

I tried to post this last night but it doesn't look like it took.
I've started a collection of 1940s style Batman props like he had as trophies.

batarang ( I made based on the early comic books and newspaper strips), Two-Face's coin (from Wal-Mart's Dark Knight, I also have a replica based on the one in Batman Forever) and Catwoman's early style mask (bought at a costume shop).


Catwoman mask again, Joker card I made based on Jerry Robinson's design used in the early stories including the Joker's first appearance, a genuine U.S. dollar bill. Do any of you Bat-fans know why Batman had that among his trophies?


I made the back of the cards based on the Joker's original appearences.

I win! I have five of a kind. hahaHAHAHA!

So what do you all think?

Cool. Never seen that style of batarand done before. Good work on everything

I love the vintage look of everything... Great job!

Thanks for the compliments.

Anyone have a guess as to why the dollar bill is there?
I'll give a hint: it is from a 1946 story.

I realized that I hadn't answered my question.
Detective Comics #112 from June of 1946 had a story called "The Case Without a Crime". It started with Batman and Robin looking at there trophy cases. In one is a dollar bill and that leads to the story.

This is a great start. Are you planning on making glass cases to display them or anything like that?

The Joker cards turned out really well. Any chance they'll be in the Paper Props section? What did you print them on?
