Re: Return to the Batcave Revisited

No worries, Andy! I didn't take it that way at all. Differing opinions about a movie are absolutely fine. I am a film producer, script writer, director, and editor since 1980, so I totally get all aspects of production--from the script through test audiences. The movie doesn't get much love among th...

Re: Return to the Batcave Revisited

Am I the only one that absolutely adored this movie? Sure, the plot was hokey; sure, it was low budget; yes, they took liberties with facts and used the books written by Adam, Burt, and Yvonne. BUT...it was such great fun to see Adam, Burt, Julie, and Frank together again. I loved the running gag of...

Re: The World's First 1966 Batgirl Batcycle!

Lou, it was my pleasure to be involved with the JazzInc Batmobile. As you said, there were many great minds involved to assist, and all were appreciated!

Ed is having a blast with the Batgirl Batcycle. He's hoping to take it to a convention and/or bigger museum soon.

The World's First 1966 Batgirl Batcycle!

After a lot of hard work, Ed Merrill completed the world's first full-scale replica of the 1966 Batgirl Batcycle. What do you think (yes, he knows that he needs to put a large bow on the rear of the bike, LOL!):

Re: Batcon 4 September 12th and 13th, 2020!

Hi, Jim. As with a lot of businesses, COVID absolutely wrecked my plans regarding timing for the museum, which consequently has affected the timing of the next Batcon. The good news is that we are making god progress on the museum--we are about 70% done with framing and drywall of the main floor, th...

Re: Wayne manor Hot line phone

The guy designing the prototype electronics was sick with the flu for two weeks (not COVID, thank the Lord!). He will be back on task shortly, in addition to the dozens of projects he's doing for me.

Rogman is Roger Barrett, a great guy.

I'm looking forward to seeing your King Tut costume. It will be challenging, but fun, I'm sure.

Re: A great Christmas video with Kenny G. and the Amazing Burgess Meredith

Oh man...I had forgotten all about this wonderful song and video. As a former movie theater manager, I remember tearing up as the projectionist (Burgess) enjoyed the old time movies. I miss those days, when life was simpler... What a treat. Thanks much for posting. I hope everyone had a Merry Christ...

Re: The Early Days...

My fan films were shot on Super 8 Movie film. I finally found a place in Chicago that can transfer the twin track sound that we used for music and sound effects. I'm going to try to get them transferred soon.
