Re: 1939 Bat Belt Fabric

Hi all, I just ran across some interesting fabric that just might match some ideas mentioned here by fellow 39-43 Serial fans. It is a "peanut colored vinyl" that might just work for the Belt. I'm basing this on the discussion on this sight about the "realism" needed in the suit...

Re: American Bandstand - Batman Promo - January 15th, 1966

That background music is from the Peter Gunn TV series soundtrack by Henry Mancini. Thanks for IDing the music source. I watched Peter Gunn for the first time when it was on Amazon Prime a few years ago. The music was great, but aside from the main theme I wouldn't have been able to spot it out of ...

Re: American Bandstand - Batman Promo - January 15th, 1966

Thanks for that. I think I've seen it before, but I can't recall when. Dozier's narration is a hoot, but the placeholder music used in the presentation reel is a great reminder of how on-point Hefti's theme and Riddle's scores were. Anything else seems almost unnatural. :) That background music is ...

Re: Hornet Collectibles

Back before the internet getting your stuff in a magazine was big time. They also reprinted the article in their MTC an...

Re: What's YOUR Batman/Green Hornet Story?

That’s awesome! I just finished a 33 year career in law enforcement (uniformed, investigations, and finally as a supervisor). I forgot about Batman when I was at the beginning of my career but I suspect the desire to catch bad guys and bring them to justice got into my subconscious. I’m not 100% su...

Re: What's YOUR Batman/Green Hornet Story?

Maniac Cop 5, I’m glad to hear you made it to retirement and beyond! As you know, law enforcement can be exciting, dangerous, stressful and at times, sad. Crime, trials, grand jury, criminal activity, people ruining their lives, etc all got a little depressing. I’m glad that phase in my life is ove...

Re: What's YOUR Batman/Green Hornet Story?

I now love the show, but that frustrating lack of info about it back then set me off into this insanity! Insanity is right! Great story. In the mid 70's I was in the car with my mom...probably 14-15 at the time...and I was listening to a local radio station when the announcer said, "Coming up,...

Re: What Else Do You Collect?

I had the pleasure of hanging with Gil Gerard (Buck Rogers) over a weekend at a show in Tacoma. We talked about what it was like for him to work with the original Buck (and Flash Gordon) Buster Crabbe. He said I was the first guy he’d met who wanted to talk about Buster rather than the actress who ...

And my Shadow books. Many of the hardcovers come from the personal library of Walter Gibson, the creator of the Shadow.
