The same group, Monster Truck Ninja, also produced "Batcave Dance Party: Virtual Reality" using all the characters from the video above. Look close and you can spot that Hush and Kite Man have been added to the crowd. https://vimeo.com/243128189 A behind-the-scenes video about the making of the part...

Is there an image of the old art print someone can post.? It’s no longer available at the link.

Thanks for the response, Andy! I was "fancasting" for a fourth season of my own and was searching for suggestions, which led me to this thread. For some time now, I've been jotting down ideas for my own "continuing" season, but wasn't sure how to present them. Your summary format here has inspired m...

I was born about three months before the show debuted, so I first saw it in reruns around 1977 or so, when I was 11 or 12. IIRC, it was on at 4 p.m., right after school. Looking back, I think that really was the perfect age for me to have first seen it; I was old enough to understand and appreciate ...

Another observation: Ever since I read about how several of the outdoor scenes in "The Bookworm Turns/While Gotham City Burns" have bookshops in the background, I've paid much closer attention to subtle details. Rewatching "The Cat's Meow," I noticed that at the very beginning of the episode, three ...

Actress Carol Lynley, best known for playing the ship's singer in The Poseidon Adventure and for her role in Under the Yum Yum Tree , has died at age 77. In 1980 and 1984, she played Adam West's wife in two completely separate episodes of "Fantasy Island." I've always thought she would have been a g...

I'm not sure if this qualifies as something I didn't notice before or if it's a full-blown plot hole, but: In "Surf's Up! Joker's Under!," Batman tells Robin to take a taxi or the subway to Wayne Manor, to return as Dick Grayson in his car and to bring his surfboard, because Batman will need it. But...

I'm about six or seven years late to the party, but I just recently found this thread. What fun! I'm curious, Andy. You didn't mention anyone in your episode list, but who did you have in mind for casting Zatanna? My first choices, although both were very young and relatively new to the business in ...

It's National Dog Day! Let's hear it for Apricot Pinkston and her, um, stunt double(?). https://66.media.tumblr.com/a865a9662db7b2820800bbe18bbdfff6/tumblr_obblaeLotJ1sq1f29o1_400.png ... and Sebastian Craig. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/528/647/ea0.jpg ... and Batdog West. (I lo...

I noticed this for the first time approximately 10 minutes ago: In "Penguin's Clean Sweep," we see Penguin's henchmen Dustbag and Pushbroom throughout the episode, but when he arrives at Gotham City National Bank right before the batfight, he suddenly has three more. At first, I thought they were we...

I stumbled across this little gem. Somebody made a trailer for a Batman '66 version of "The Dark Knight Rises" using clips and audio from the show and footage that "fancasts" Mexican luchador Blue Demon as Bane and "Daktari" star Hari Rhodes as Lucius Fox. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sSuObidLTk

As I have read and as many of you know, "Bronco" star Ty Hardin was William Dozier's first choice to play Batman. But looking at this publicity photo of Hardin from the film "PT 109" (1964), I'd say it's pretty obvious who he should have been cast as ... https://i.pinimg.com/236x/b9/9f/93/b99f930785...

The news really hit me hard, too. IIRC, at the time I recently had responded to the announcement that Adam, Burt and Julie would be voicing their respective characters in "Return of the Caped Crusaders" by expressing the hope that they would get Yvonne on board with the project as well. I was unawar...

I'm going to draw it

Are you sure you want to tackle drawing Alfred birthing Robin, Andy? Sounds like a major challenge.
