Re: FF Batmobile at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Sept. 20-23rd!

I grabbed this photo off the net to try to show the scale of this event--118,000 people attended the four day show. Over 7,000 vendors were open to show their wares. We were inside the Nationwide building, along with a row of Carroll Shelby Cobras, an 89 and a Tumbler in Batmobile Alley! http://imag...

Re: Question about The Purrfect Crime/Better Luck Next Time

It has been reported that real tigers were on set with Burt Ward/Robin and that things were very dangerous, but my filmmaking background tells me differently: it sure looks like a rear screen projection. Now Batman with the tiger? That's a different story. I'm certain it wasn't Adam (probably Hubie)...

Re: FF Batmobile at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Sept. 20-23rd!

How many Batfans are coming to Charlotte next weekend? Are you interested in getting together for supper at least one of the nights? I know of three or four that are planning to come. The more the merrier! If you're familiar with the area, I would appreciate suggestions for restaurants as well. This...

After the first viewing, I immediately had to show it to my wife Jill. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing adventures. May you two have many, many more. ...

Re: Cinematography on the 66 Series

When I hear dissenters of the series say, "Batman was never shown at night," I have to gently correct them--as you two have perfectly mentioned, there was such great use of shadows in these particular episodes The episodes afterward paled compared to these greats in many, many respects, bu...

They are expecting to have a Tumbler and an 89, and they're trying for a Batman Forever car. This should be fun!
