Re: Batman Photo of Me from 1980

That's cool! I used to have one of the Ben Cooper (?) costumes (the one that said BATMAN across the chest insignia) and my brother and I would stage Bat-fights on the front lawn. This was in the early 1970s I think. Those were the days...

Cool! I remember going from grocery store to grocery store in 1989 trying to find a cereal box with one on it. But if the boxes weren't sold out, they were damaged and the bank stolen. I finally got one on Ebay a few years ago.

Re: Batman & The Addams Family

Has anyone else ever noticed the link between Batman and The Addams Family? Both stars of Addams family played Bat-Villains (John Astin & Carolyn Jones) and Ted Cassidy makes a window cameo. I can't think and any other TV show that got as many plugs, even though The Addams Family was off the ai...

Re: Did Any of the Villains Scare You?

I'd have to say the Riddler, especially when he had B&R tied to the rotating wheels and whispered good-bye to each of them. Plus, his laugh was by the far the most menacing and creepy.
Zsa Zsa Gabor? Tallulah Bankhead? Um, no. And no.

Re: No excuses

Sometimes the excuses dealt with things in the study, but more often than not they didn't. Fishing, rambling in the woods, a new exhibit somewhere. I also always thought it was funny that Alfred had to come up and whisper "It's the Bat-Phone, suh." I always wondered why he didn't have some...

The First Batmobile

From Reminisce magazine. Pretty interesting. I hope it can be restored. :D

Adam West on PBS, January 29

In yesterday's Parade magazine (available in Sunday newspapers in the US but I'm not sure how many or which ones), there was a small article about Adam West in which he discusses how he felt about other actors portraying Batman. "There's sort of a proprietary feeling at first, but I quickly rea...

Re: How did the Bat-Poles/Automatic Bat-Costume Changer work

As a kid, I never put much thought into it... I always assumed there was some Bat device that instantly clothed them as they slid down. I read in the Official Batman Batbook that Alan Napier, who played Alfred, thought of a gag where he was cleaning the Batpoles and slipped and slid down into the Ba...

Re: Scenes or Death Traps You Would've Liked to See on Batma

There was a scene in one of the comic books (it was also shown on the cover) where the Joker actually unmasked Batman, but there was a bright light - I believe it was from a lighthouse - shining in Joker's eyes at the time so he couldn't see who Batman really was. But he didn't let on. Couldn't you ...

I picked up a Hot Wheels 1/18 1989 Batmobile the other day. I had no idea they were even making them.

Re: BATMAN SEASON FOUR Fantasy Print 13x19 LIMITED EDITION N

I love the commentaries! The replacing of Madge Blake with Reta Shaw reminds me of My Three Sons bringing William Frawley onboard when William Demerest passed away.

Re: The Latest Batman Item You Acquired?

Nice figure. I saw it at the local Toys R Us, was impressed that the Bat ears were short and wondered for a nano-second if I should buy it and try to customize it 66 style. Then I said to myself, "Self, wait a little longer and you'll have your choice of those...including one to hang on the Ch...

Re: The Latest Batman Item You Acquired?

I just received an order of Batman checks from Checks Unlimited. They rotate 4 different designs. Here's what it looked like as I was setting it up. The line at the right is one where you can write whatever you'd like - how do you like my choice? :D http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k582/jeff98177...

Re: Who would you pick to play Poison Ivy?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Barbara Eden. On "I Dream Of Jeannie" her character was sweet and a bit naive, but she also played Jeannie's sister, "Jeannie II"... and THAT character had a definite mean streak. Here's a YouTube clip showing Barbara as both Jeannie and Jeannie...
