Good for Burt! Beyond awesome that he's going to be reunited in concrete with Adam.

I know he had said that he was hoping to set a date as close to the anniversary of the show's premiere, so it looks like he got pretty close.

In an interview at the event Burt claims the bat pole slide was 85 feet off the sound stage with no safety equipment. It’s this type of spouting of nonsense, which started with his book, that accounts for the fact that when Adam earned his star there were several pages of positive responses while with Burt getting one there is almost none. This becomes a sickness for former celebrities, they feel the need to make their stories interesting, or what they consider interesting, then they tell them so many times they start to believe it.

There is ZERO chance Greenway Productions would risk injury to one of the leads because that would lead to shut downs and production delays which cost MONEY.

I don't know--Greenway had several stunt performers and a couple of actors seriously hurt by Bruce Lee before he was told to calm down / learn stunt performance, and that did not happen overnight. ...and let's not forget the burns Ward suffered (forearm) requiring a bandage seen on screen.

In short, Greenway/Dozier were not the most safety-minded production in town.

Congratulations to Burt!
Awesome seeing Alex & Sara there as well. I have met the Catwoman before but I don’t know the Batman.
Watching YouTube was like I was there.

I, on the other hand would like to know how his daughter Lisa is doing. Last we heard from Burt, she was in a coma.

Thanks for the post and photos, Batfanman.

Greenway/Dozier was not too concerned with actor safety, as Burt's burnt arm, having him too close to the burning, wrecked car in the pilot (a stuntman should have taken his place for the entire scene, but Dozier being Dozier....), and all of the people Bruce Lee injured prove.
