Re: 5 generations of Batmobile at Chicago car show

The display, and the response to it as indicated in the article, just proves you're never going to top Barris' original.

Re: McFarlane Toys doing Batman 66 figures?

Interesting lineup-- I wonder why we have a Joker in the Batmobile? Penguin in the Batmobile I get-- although I'm sure The Joker stole the Batmobile somewhere. As for the New Adventures, I'm sure a lot of you are happy for Catwoman, Bane, Night Wing are interesting choices. Wasn't Joker in wave 1? F...

Re: Who is in the Bat-suit?

I didn't think he was, since there's no footage of his arriving at the theater but there is for the other four. I'm assuming the newspaper article I read was written by the PR department before the event. I wonder if Adam wasn't at the Hollywood opening because of the New York opening? Same night?

Re: Who is in the Bat-suit?

You beat me to it-- you tracked down the Pharmacy which was the biggest clue. The Austin premiere had two events that day-- one for the kiddies and one for the adults. Austin featured Adam, Burt, Lee, Cesar and Burgess, but they each arrived in a different colored convertible-- looked to be Lincolns...

Re: Who is in the Bat-suit?

Great question! We can assume this is the BATMAN 1966 Movie World premiere which was held in Austin Texas (home to where the Batboat was built) on July 30, 1966. The movie premiered at the Paramount https://www.statesman.com/gcdn/authoring/2017/06/20/NAAS/ghows-TX-bafefbb6-6c71-40cc-ad32-f48a769deed...

Re: McFarlane 7” 1939 Batman

Ha ha-- my complaint is the inside of the cape isn't light blue.
But yeah, now that you mention it, the cowl is off. ;)

Re: A Letter from Lewis Wilson (The Original Batman)

They seemed to have stopped referring to them as "pictures" in the 70s.
But I agree- there's a real charm to this kind of speaking/thinking.

Re: Fun photo for theatrical showing of the movie serial “Batman and Robin”

I spent a lot of time at the Brattle in Cambridge and came across a poster from July or August of '65 that had the Batman listing so Time calling it for Chicago has always seemed off. I do think it's chicken and the egg time-- the revival absolutely came first-- no question-- but Dozier and crew hav...

Re: Fun photo for theatrical showing of the movie serial “Batman and Robin”

It's actually the revival that happened in 1965, so before the show- all fifteen chapters of each of the serials were released as AN EVENING WITH BATMAN AND ROBIN-- initially folks thought it was only the '43 serial that got the binge treatment, but it was actually both of them depending on which a...
