This popped into my YouTube recommends this evening. First I've heard of this new book coming out.

I just saw this auction on Heritage, but must have missed the posting about it on our board, maybe because it came over the holiday weekend. There's some amazing items for sure. I feel I've heard of Ralph, but not sure who he is. Is/was he a member on this board? Dunno if he's still active on the b...

Yeah, not worth $50K. Nice paint job on the face, but the tights are the wrong color. And does he have a bat pole in his trunks, or is he just happy to see someone? I noted that the seller is from Edwardsville, IL. Wondering if he's an SIU student who's late on his tuition. Or maybe he stole this fr...

And just like that, the listing has already been removed. Guessing the seller got spanked - perhaps by someone else from this board.

Pity, as I wanted to see this for myself and compare with my own 1:1 1966 Bat-mannequin, but I'm sure it's nowhere near worth $50K. $2k maybe? $3K tops?

There's about to be a throw-down in my work-from-home space.

CAPTION THIS!

I recently completed an almost two-year journey in collecting costume pieces for an "A New Hope" style Darth Vader costume display in my home office. I posted a video about my journey to YouTube. Enjoy!

We're going to be doing a TO THE BATPOLES episode soon on the '77 cartoon. Joker on this show is CLEARLY Ted Knight - I'm hearing Ted Baxter all over the place -- but sounds completely different from the Joker in the '68 cartoon. Joe Hill in a comment on 13th Dimension in 2022, responding to an art...

Costumed up for Krewe of Boo parade at the French Quarter this evening. Lot's of people happy to see the "OG" Batman out tonight. Someone in the parade dressed as a Scarecrow came up and gave me a bear hug! Screen Shot 2024-10-19 at 11.42.59 PM.png With my partner dressed as a "swamp ...

This was really an exercise for developing my video editing skills, and I now have a nice backdrop for the start and end of the video. This is my personal list of Top 15 favorite Batman '66 stories. Love to hear what everyone on the board would have on their own list. And feel free to "fact che...

The topmost of my "wish list" - a complete original television soundtrack of the Nelson Riddle score. All the cues and motifs. Heck, throw in the Billy May cues from Season 3 if you want.

A showcase of my Batman collection, including a few recent acquisitions...
