The 1966 Batman Message Board

I think i've shared the link to this thesis before, but for those interested in the merchandising aspect of The Green Hornet (and Lone Ranger), Avi Santo's dissertation is a lengthy but really fascinating read: https://www.academia.edu/2597982/Transmedia_Brand_Licensing_Prior_to_Conglomeration_Georg...

The side by side is wild! Both are things of beauty.

It can truly be said, Batman has finally met his Waterloo, no thanks to King Tut.

Hahaha, i’m almost annoyed I didn’t come up with that!

I had chance yesterday to check out in person a couple of original '66 TV items that are currently listed in the Prop Store London's "Live Auction". The emblem was obtained from Jan Kemp's estate.

Very interesting stuff. That's an incredibly clever and ingeniously thrifty way of producing a pilot by way of a show that has already been ordered to season. Do(ugh)zier himself would be proud of that move, no? :D I would have loved to have seen Van have the career he truly deserved on screen. I've...

He will be missed!

Noooo way?! But also if your painstaking research has taught us anything... OF COURSE IT WAS!

A great movie! Truly bizarre watch that many future Batman alumni in action together. Holy-Multiverse!

Are these perhaps blueprints for the modifications they made to the Batcave for the movie? This may make me seem like a newbie, but what was changed about the batcave for the movie? Thanks! :D The bigger budget allocated for the motion picture allowed Dozier and team to make some nice upgrades to t...

Well done. Fabulous backdrops Ian.

Thanks. It's the lounge room set from the Mego "Bewitched" two-pack (8" Endora and Serena), and the back panel of Mattel's unmasked Batman.

Do I spy a Cousin Eggy variant?!

You do indeed, he was part of the most recent wave of figures.
