Riddler costume 'Smack in the Middle' on display
So, I visited Paris last weekend with my wife and lo and behold I see posters for an exhibition called 'The Art of DC' (http://www.artludique.com/dccomics2.html) and it's right there where we were. Of course I'm gonna visit it
What I didn't expect to see was a piece of genuine Batman 1966 goodness, but there it was: the costume Frank Gorshin wore in Smack in the Middle (minus the elephant mask). Next to the costume was a vintage TV screen playing the fighting scene with Batman and Robin jumping out of the elephant. That totally made my weekend... Hell, it made my year
I apologise for the poor quality of the pics, but it was really dark in the museum and flash pics weren't allowed, so this is the best I could do...
If you're in or near Paris you have till January 7th 2018 to go and visit the exhibition

Oh, and the mesh you see in the pics is the actual mesh keeping visitors from touching the costume, it's not the poor quality of the pics

Yes, I'm eager to see them, but they don't display for me either.
Re: Riddler costume 'Smack in the Middle' on display
I'm baffled... I can see them and some folks here obviously too, but not everyone apparently... not sure what else I can do

They don't appear to be viewable via Firefox, Chrome or Safari at my end.
Any chance you could upload them as attachments to your original post as opposed to linking them?
Re: Riddler costume 'Smack in the Middle' on display
Can you see them now?

Yep! They're showing now. So cool! Thanks for re-uploading buddy! I'm in Paris for a few days next month, so I hope I can pop in to this exhibition.
Re: Riddler costume 'Smack in the Middle' on display
The museum has all sorts of costumes from Christopher Reeve and Henry Cavill Superman to Wonder Woman and pretty much every Batman costume since Tim Burtons Batman, including several villains. Story boards, concept art, comic covers, miniatures, all kinds of props,... you name it, it's there... Trust me Ben, it's definitely worth a visit
