Re: Fiberglass Freaks Batman Museum

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Fiberglass Freaks' Batman Museum soft opening and grand opening dates are postponed. We have some red tape to take care of, and then we'll be able to set a new opening date. The city of Logansport is working with us to make sure we have all of our 'i's dotte...

Re: Fiberglass Freaks Batman Museum

We're inching closer and closer...Our 'Sneak Peek' was a success (35 people attended), yielding the constructive criticism needed to finish the museum:

Re: West and Ward’s Residuals Earnings

It is my understanding that they were only paid residuals for the first five airings (a standard practice at the time), but Adam said that he had a small piece of the merchandising. He always kept working, even if it was in turkeys. Due to the 1989 movie, he was suddenly in demand--as himself. Altho...

Re: Bat Tours: The Bat-Roads

Outstanding work, guys! Batman's reputation as the 'world's greatest detective' is not forgotten by you two, that's for sure. I share Chuck's comments on every aspect of the short--kudos!

Re: FIBERGLASS FREAKS RAIDED!!

I am happy and proud to be able to report some good news on this matter. For those that haven't heard, the San Mateo District Attorney dropped the charges, citing lack of evidence as the main reason. I want to personally thank the thousands of supporters across the country (nay, the world), that pos...

Re: FIBERGLASS FREAKS RAIDED!!

Thanks for the support, folks. The ABC7 report has 90% of the story, but as it turns out, the San Mateo deputies did convince a local deputy and a local judge to create and sign a local warrant. Everything about this, and I mean everything, is absolutely nuts. Nothing about it makes sense.

Re: Holy Matrimony! The greatest wedding gift...

Congrats on your cowl, hello to Syd, and I hope you get well soon. I had both a mild and severe case. I hope and pray that yours is the former. In the meantime, enjoy that awesome cowl!

Re: Batmobile ..the REAL color

Etruscan, I have no idea on why they dropped the outline on the door bats. It's pretty odd to do so that late in the game, but they were still making significant changes to the car and the standing sets, so who knows? A Pennyworth, exactly! That's how we knew we had found the right color--the House ...

Re: Batmobile ..the REAL color

Lou, the wheel bats stayed relatively the same throughout the series, but they did make a change on the door bats--they removed the white outline in third season.

First and second season:

Re: Batmobile ..the REAL color

It's complicated because all of the answers are correct, but not all of them are correct simultaneously. The original color of the striping was a flourescent red/orange like caution tape. George told me they got the paint from a sign shop. House of Kolor's NE504 and SEM's flourescent caliente are as...

Larry,

The story goes that taller ears would have been harder to frame for closeups of Adam.

Re: Bat Locations - "Smack in the Middle" Burning Car Scene

Thanks much for this thread, Scott, Ben, (and John). That's twice I've messed up from watching this video--good grief! Thanks for setting me straight.
