A Special Autograph

Post by twint9 »

Here’s an autograph I recently added to my Batman collection. Fred Wostbrock (aka Westbrook) wasn’t part of the show but to me he was a huge part of the Batman family. I wish I had asked him to sign something for me personally back in the day but this will do just fine.

Fred would have been thrilled if someone had asked him for an autograph. He was the unsung hero of Adam's career-- he often had to be the bad guy (at Adam's direction) but the guy loved his job.

That's a really neat item, like you said he really was part of the TV Batman family and the fandom. Fanboy-Fred was the best Fred, i've got some really fond memories.

Barely a month goes by without Scott or I, saying "Everybody!" in Fred's signature style, with accompanying hand-gestures. It became a standing joke/reference during our weekly Video Bat-Chat sessions throughout 2020 and 2021, to the point at which I even made a GIF. We agreed that it would have tickled Fred to have become a meme in his own right.

Here’s a clip of Mr. Wostbrock calling in to a radio show with Dawn Wells. He was a talented impressionist, as well. I don’t have Facebook, but I was still able to play the clip.
