Cool props from Heroes TV show on display...

Heroes first season was great genre television, but the superhero series sadly faltered in the second season, due in no small part to the 2007-2008 writers strike. Here are some original props from Tim Kring's comic book TV show on display at Universal Studios Hollywood on November 30, 2011.

Original props from Heroes on display

Included in the props from the show that aired from 2006 to 2010, was the third issue of 9th Wonders!, the comic drawn by troubled artist and future-seer 'Isaac Mendez', plus read by space-time manipulator and comic book nerd 'Hiro Nakamura'.

Also on display were a toy airplane belonging to 'Nathan Petrelli' and Hot Wheels toy cars from 'Sylar's' childhood, plus a shard of glass that once tested 'Claire Bennet's' regenerative abilities.

If you're a fan of the show, be sure to also check out Hayden Panettiere's cheerleader costume and more original Heroes props on display here at Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props.

The Green Hornet's Black Beauty car past and present...

One of the surviving Black Beauty movie cars from the 2011 remake of The Green Hornet could be seen yesterday at West Hollywood's Annual Gay Pride Parade as part of Sony Studios participation.

Modern day Black Beauty from The Green Hornet movie remake

This car used in the big screen remake of the 1930's radio crime-fighting superhero, starring Seth Rogen as the titular 'Green Hornet', was apparently one of only three (out of twenty-nine) Imperial Chrysler sedans from 1964 to 1966 that survived the production of the stunt-packed movie in pristine condition.

If you like the new souped-up luxury supercar, then you'll also appreciate the original Black Beauty car from the 1960's television show photographed at the Petersen Automotive Museum on March 31, 2011, with its more retro armaments.
