Re: Zodiac Crimes script question
as I mentioned, you can't read what is written as the text, only "ISHER" is visible so hopefully a script may add something As usual, you get the cleanest screen grabs imaginable, A.P.! Great work. Is it just me, or does it look like there might be a second row of type that ends below the...

Re: Zodiac Crimes script question
Stephen Kandel's unused draft titled The Astrologer, which floated a new villain as perpetrator of The Zodiac Crimes, has our hero respond to the fire as follows: "Batman whips out a Batspray bulb and sprays it, dousing it." Maybe the revised script with Joker and Penguin references the mi...

Re: Tiny TV toy with Batman clips
I got a Tiny TV under the tree yesterday, and I love it. It's totally non-essential, but really fun. I haven't been following this thread, because honestly the toy is not something I would have sought out for myself, but I'm very happy to have it. Here are a couple of observations and questions for ...

Re: Glynis Johns singing
Stephen Sondheim (RIP) wrote Send in the Clowns specifically for Ms. Johns. She was cast as Desiree in A Little Night Music before the score was finished and, as he explained in interviews, Sondheim recognized her as an actress who could sing, rather than a singer who acts. He constructed the song i...

Re: False Face’s Blaze
The name could indicate that her boss considered her a cool customer. It isn't consistent throughout the episodes -- and if it had been it probably would have made things highly confusing -- but when deciphering the note Blaze delivers to GCPD HQ (in disguise as the old man), Batman notes that False...

Re: Things you didn't notice or remember until seeing the DVDs
I previously did a thread matching specific buildings in the 40 Acres backlot to what we see in the episode. The quonset huts are the ones from "Gomer Pyle USMC" and also recognizable are a number of buildings that were originally built for "Gone With The Wind" when this was the...

Re: Things you didn't notice or remember until seeing the DVDs
Great pic Ben! Would the "Biograph" gate have been at about 5 o'oclock in photo, where the road to the backlot veers left off what looks like the end of a public road? The next shot in the Rat Race sequence shows Batman and Robin passing by quonset huts -- presumably the cluster of buildin...

Re: Things you didn't notice or remember until seeing the DVDs
In "Holy Rat Race," as Batman guns the Batmobile after pausing at the entrance to Bioscope Studios, a sign on the cyclone-fence gate behind the car reads "NO TRESPASSING: Desilu Studios."

Re: Batmobile made in '64?
I've seen similar fan-made, 3D-printed nameplates on etsy for the Nostromo spaceship from Alien, Ghostbusters proton packs, and other fictional gadgets. I got one for a friend with specs for the jetpack from The Rocketeer. The design and workmanship were great, but the details were totally made up.

Forgery of "Death of a Mauve Bat"?
Baby Jane would be smitten: The art world has been rocked by chicanery worthy of the Clown Prince of Crime.

Re: Anyone here know someone from any of the Star Treks?
Multiple board members were friends with Frank "Commissioner Bele" Gorshin and Yvonne "Marta" Craig. Depending on how you define being "from" Star Trek, they count as having guest starred on the original series, or provide one degree of separation from its regular cast....

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #165: Mr. Freeze(s)
The jet-nozzle collar was a good practical solution to the head-in-a-bowl problem of Sanders's space helmet, but that original Freeze outfit scared me silly as a kid (but then so did Preminger leering through the vent at GCPD HQ). I loved the hot/cold zones in Sanders's hideout too, but most of all ...

Re: "Lost/Unaired" episode "Bane's The Name/Greetings Mr Wayne"
Thanks for sharing this. I LOVE the idea of Welles penning a Batman script, and imagining him enduring the demands of a one-and-done TV director is painfully hilarious. Envisioning Welles as Bane, on the other hand, is mostly just painful: Even if the character had been invented in 1967, it's hard t...
