The Batmobile DID sound a bit more like a certain DeLorean than the old atomic turbine. Given the heavy dose of the past involved, I am not entirely surprised...

The old duplicator ray at work again, eh? Or is it that clever Batman robot duplicate from the comics?

Love the display, Scott!

Spockboy has this covered. I'm good with it as is.

Just saw it last night with Mark Racop and his crew. Bravo, Wally! I enjoyed the heck out of it, and your Riddler was spot on!
Now I have to build a flying Bat-Rocket out of Estes parts...searching for those model sheets... Googling...Googling...
(looking forward to William Shatner as Two Face)

A better question might be: Why was Batman made as a campy comedy in 1966? It has to do with comics and history, mainly. After WWII, the world wasn't the fearful and dark place of the Golden Age/Depression Era in many ways. So the tone of comics changed to try to match the audience's tastes. The com...

Who would the Green Hornet go after from another show? Heisenberg. The Hornet would go after Heisenberg.

And you can thank Julius Schwartz for the yellow oval of the bat emblem.

The blue was always meant to be a shiny highlight on black- you can see that plainly in the early art. Since color sold comics, things got set in a very stylized way afterwards as the blue took over and the black shadows shrunk to allow more open artwork.

Sea...ink...one can drown in a sea of RED ink...wait- "If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would be spent before the Words of my lord are spent." A quote from the Qu'ran about god...a "good scholar" of Muslim law is known as an ulama. Ulama...U- Lama...YOU lama!...

Gotham villains were all about style and attitude- a mask might be useful when entering the "scene" (and it definitely was a scene, with hierarchy/status defined by reputation for how big, elaborate or successful the scheme a crook put together). After getting busted the first time, if the...

The Sigsaly web series would have loved to resume production after the Rogen film flopped, but apparently the word from GHI was "no go". Maybe the Sony deal has extended rights to protect their dvd sales from competing product? I can't ever see a Bentley (should I call it a Volkswagon, eve...

Early transporter technology beamed the costumes onto them. Same rig was being used over on the Desilu lot to send Shatner and Nimoy from the soundstage Enterprise set to the Vasquez Rocks location...

Just seems wrong for what the Hornet was written to be- by Trendle and Striker. The original idea wasn't for colorful fantasy villains, but a hero who stood up for the average citizen against criminals and racketeers the law couldn't touch because of their power or taking advantage of the limits of ...
