After finishing my massive LEGO Alphabet Spaceships project, I was looking for something a little less restrictive design=wise, and this collection of Unnecessary LEGO Batman Vehicles filled the bill.
The idea here is that in addition to the Batmobile, the Batwing, the Batcopter, etc..., that Batman has a Bat-vehicle for pretty much anything, even the mundane.
I've posted a few along the way, but now that I've finished with an even dozen, here's all of them, including my last entry:

The Bat-Tractor

The Bat-Gondola

The Bat-Supermarket Scooter

The Bat-Blimp

The Bat-Bumper Cars

The Bat-Zamboni

The Bat-Balloon

The Bat-Golf Cart

The Bat-Segway

The Bat-Go-Kart

The Bat-Riding Mower

The Bat-Pogo Stick
Well, that's it for my Unnecessary LEGO Batman Vehicles. You can see more pics at Flickr.
What's next? You'll know when I know.
I've been wanting to try my hand at another large LEGO art piece, but was looking to try something other than the standard mosaic. So I created this tiled line art piece based on the Darwyn Cooke Catwoman.
All the black tiles are connected with white hinges underneath and connected here and there to plate studs placed strategically in the white tiles.
It measures about 20" x 30" and I had to order around 1500 of the 2x2 white tiles from Germany to get it covered.
Here's a little closer look:

I'm really pleased with the result, and I'm already planning some other LEGO line art projects.
You can see it better over at Flickr! Meow!
BTW, don't miss these other awesome Catwomen by Bruce Timm, Art Baltazar, Mike Maihack, Amanda Conner, and Darwyn Cooke!
Wow, this is awesome! It's an old chart of the Pantone colors used for DC characters! (Click for a bigger view.)

Thanks to The Aquaman Shrine!
I love how much fun and simple this is, but I bet Tony Stark is steamed! (Get it?! Steamed? Ha-ha-ha... Oh...)
