The Walking Dead 14517 Prop Replica Negan's Lucille Bat

Product Information

During his speech to the Commonwealth, Eugene mentions his time with the Saviors and that he was just as culpable for what they did through his inaction even though "I didn't swing the bat." Season 1: Dead City [ ] " Old Acquaintances" [ ] Those are the only onscreen human kills that we see Negan perform with Lucille. However, in the Saviors Compound, there are many polaroid pictures of Negan’s victims with their heads beaten in. There are twenty-one pictures shown that have a person clearly murdered with the help of Lucille. Prior to the outbreak, Negan lived in Reston, Virginia and was the coach of a local high school, keeping his players in line through intimidation and bullying. He is happily married to his wife, Lucille, but nonetheless has a mistress on the side who doesn't know he is married. During an argument, Lucille collapses and he rushes her to the hospital, where she is diagnosed with cancer. As his wife is tended to, Negan tells his mistress the truth, and she immediately leaves him. When the zombie apocalypse starts, the hospital workers tell Negan they are being forced to abandon the hospital and he should leave with them, but he refuses to leave Lucille's side. Lucille dies when the power goes out, short-circuiting her life-support machine; moments later, she reanimates as a zombie. He flees the hospital and finds a boy being trapped by zombies, and helps to dispatch them with a fire extinguisher. In return, Negan asks the boy to kill Lucille for him. [8] A Larger World [ edit ] Lucille is seen in the comic books about as often as she is seen in the television show. Which is to say, every time you see Negan. The introduction in the comics is very similar to the one seen on television and equally, if not more, gory. Acuna, Kristen (July 13, 2017).

Louisville sluggers and therefore Lucille, weigh anywhere in between thirty ounces and forty-five ounces. The most likely weight of Lucille is forty-three ounces with a length of about forty-two inches. That would make Lucille a regulation heavyweight Louisville slugger that could do some serious damage. This is regarded by the cast as one of the best character entrances in the show. Negan and his bat are immediately shown as a dynamic duo that should be feared and respected. Lucille spills her first blood upon her introduction and from then on it is clear that Lucille is used for killing and not just for intimidation. Glen’s death is widely regarded as the most tragic death in both the comics and the show. The fact that he was so brutally murdered while his wife watched and screamed only made his death more horrifying. That death is, of course, attributed to Negan and Lucille. Several years after the end of The Walking Dead, Maggie seeks out the help of Negan, revealing that Hershel has been kidnapped and taken to a walker-infested Manhattan by a man known only as the Croat. In the years since the defeat of Pamela Milton and Lance Hornsby, Maggie has been forced to abandon the original Hilltop due to the damage from the Whisperers ultimately being too severe to repair, instead relocating the community to a rural factory complex in either New York or New Jersey. This new Hilltop was raided by the Croat who Maggie had recognized as a former Savior from his use of Savior tactics and, in particular, the whistle that the Saviors had used to intimidate their victims. The two agree to a deal where Maggie will allow Negan's young companion Ginny to live at the Hilltop in exchange for his help. In the intervening years, Negan has returned to many of his old ways while an unknown fate has befallen Annie and his child. Negan is being hunted by marshals from the New Babylon Federation for supposedly committing five murders, but Negan himself states that things didn't go as the marshals claim that they did.Morgan has received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Negan in the television series, earning the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Guest Performer in a Drama Series, [3] MTV Movie Award for Best Villain, [4] and Saturn Award for Best Guest Starring Role on Television. [5] When offered the role of Negan, Morgan immediately accepted, as he was already a fan of the comic book series. [6] While fighting walkers with a baseball bat and later while reading a book on baseball to Judith, Michonne is reminded of Lucille. At the same time, Negan reaches out to Michonne in an effort to manipulate her into letting him see Lucille. Michonne eventually sees through Negan's efforts and tells him that they don't have Lucille and that the bat is "still out there," having presumably been abandoned by the Militia following Negan's defeat.

The camp's sadistic warden (Michael Weaver) singles Negan out for his harshest abuse, determined to break him and use him to keep the other prisoners in line, but Negan remains defiant and makes an uneasy alliance with Ezekiel to plan an escape. The warden foils the escape attempt, however, and lines up Negan, Ezekiel, and Annie to be executed via firing squad. At the last moment, Negan and Ezekiel manage to convince the soldiers not to let the warden turn them into murderers, and they turn on their hated boss. Maggie, Gabriel, and Rosita then arrive to free them. That is the end of one of the most notorious television weapons ever created. She is given one of the most intense character introductions in television history and then left alone in a field as her owner is dragged to a cell. It is a peaceful end to a weapon that was used to hurt so many and not quite the end for her owner. It is shown in the comics that Negan acquired Lucille after her original owner, Paul, was killed by roamers. Negan is the one who wraps Lucille in barbed wire and gives her the killer reputation she possesses by the time we see her in the show. He is also still the one who gave her the name Lucille after his dead wife. Schedeen, Jesse (October 17, 2012). "The Walking Dead #103 Review". IGN . Retrieved October 17, 2012.

This week’s biggest question: where will season 11 pick up from first?

The last thing we see before the season ends is Negan choosing who to kill by pointing Lucille at each person while saying “eenie, meenie, miny, mo” before finally landing on a person and beating them to death with Lucille. This sets the tone for how we will view both Negan and Lucille for the rest of the series. In the comic books, Lucille continues on after Negan is put in prison. She is wielded by Dwight for a long time while Negan is rotting in a cell. During that time Dwight does not use her as his main weapon but keeps her almost to spite Negan. Lucille is absolutely one of the most notorious weapons in television history. Her debut is widely regarded as the best character introduction to ever take place on The Walking Dead and her exit is simple and heartbreaking for Negan. Overall, she is one of the few inanimate objects that has managed to become her own character over the run of the show. Ausiello, Michael (November 10, 2015).

He began an affair but never left Lucille and was next to her when she died. He seems to regret the affair and respects his wife Lucille very much. After the introduction of Lucille audiences desperately wanted to know the meaning behind her name. As more people died at the end of this barbed wire covered bat, interest only grew. Why did a bat that was used so viciously have such a normal name? Jeffrey Dean Morgan was cast as Negan in 2015. [7] He made his television debut in the sixth-season finale. Again, Negan is distracted by the noises outside the hospital and turns his focus there. While watching some of the turmoil, he heard a noise behind him and turned around. His wife had turned into a walker, and had fallen off the bed. After the horde is destroyed, Negan has a final talk with Maggie. He expresses remorse for killing Glenn and says that, after nearly losing his wife and unborn child, he finally understands what he did to her. Maggie replies that she will never forgive him, but she will try to move on past her anger for her own sake and that of her son. Negan accepts her decision, and he and Annie leave the Commonwealth together to begin a new life.
