Inspired by enyawd72's recent post, I remembered that I had a similar pic from my 1977 birthday party that I recently scanned in, so I thought I'd share it here:
Yes, that's right, it's the Mobile Bat Lab, being examined by my long-lost pal Lincoln! Although when I blew up the photo, I noticed that the Riddler had somehow hijacked the vehicle, so trouble was sure to ensue...
A few other points of interest:
Look over to the right, and you'll see a half-constructed Richard Scarry "Puzzletown" play set, part of an odd little line by Playskool that was only around circa '76-'77. I never really asked for these, but my mother (not pictured here, the woman in the photo is my aunt) seemed obsessed with them, so I ended up with the whole set. For that reason, I remember them fondly, although the line seems somewhat obscure these days.
Please observe my father, disguised here as Lance White (free prize if you get that reference). Bonus 70s superhero trivia: He played drums on the early disco hit "Superman" by Celi Bee. I kid you not.
I have a full set from this party. The "theme" was centered around "Emergency!", and one of my other big gets was the Starsky & Hutch Torino. So, do I win the '70s?

I can kind of divide my youth by these photos, as she sort of stopped taking them around the mid 80s. I was getting a little older, we moved to a different town, my grandparents moved and sold off our family's longtime summer lake house (where I spent all of my childhood summers), amongst many other changes. That's when my childhood sort of ended and my metalhead-oriented 80s adolescence began, so these 70s/early 80s pictures always take me back to the best years of my childhood...
