    I love Adam West’s Batman. Later Batman movies are too dark

    • @acurisur

      The original comic the tv show was based on was dark, Batman originally used a gun for crying out loud. When people say Batman now is too dark I can tell they don't really know the character. That's not a knock on Adam West's Batman either, I thought he played a pretty serious Batman for the most part compared to most of the rest of the cast. But Batman is and never was meant to be a light hearted character. The movie that actually got the closest to the comics was 2005's Batman Begins.

    The artist Prince loved Batman as a child born in 1958. The television theme to Batman was the first tune he learned to play on the piano at the age of seven. When asked to write music for the 1989 Batman movie, he jumped at the chance. In retrospect, the Batman album is considered to be a high point in Prince's career.

      yeah, nobody cares. Prince was a vulgar pig and hideously overrated.

    I was in the third grade
    when Batman premiered
    on TV January 1966.
    Wore a Batman costume
    at home playing & got
    the Ideal toy figure
    playset ... Captain
    Action with Batman
    costume & all the
    bubblegum cards ...
    coloring books ... & of
    course DC comicbooks.
    My parents did not
    have alot of money but
    I got the Batman items
    for birthdays & Christmas
    time. When the show
    was on when I was
    a little boy I thought
    girls were yucky then
    but there was something
    about tall Julie Newmar
    in the Catwoman outfit
    that I liked. I live in
    Massachucetts & was
    lucky enough to meet
    Adam West & Burt
    Ward on 2 different
    occasions for photo
    ops & autographs at
    Northeast Comicon.
    The last time I saw
    Adam & Burt at the
    show Mr. West passed
    away 3 months later.
    Glad I was able to
    meet them briefly . The
    show was a big part
    of my childhood. I liked
    Superhero comicbooks
    ...movies ... & TV shows
    to this day 2022 &
    collect memorbilia.
    Thanks to Mr. West
    & Mr. Ward for a fun
    TV show !

    I watched Batman religiously on television in the 1960s. One week my mother decided we were all going to see a movie, which we never did. My sister and I had to miss Batman. We were crushed. Ordinarily going to a movie would have been great. I did enjoy the movie, which was "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines". Cute movie. I also had a pair of slip-on Batman tennis shoes, and I also still have a 33 LP Batman album. Good time to grow up.

    ABC considered a fourth season but to do so the plan was to eliminate Robin, Chief O'Hara, and Aunt Harriet and to center the show on Batman, Batgirl, Alfred, and Commissioner Gordon. Adam West refused to throw any of his cast mates "under the bus" and refused to sign on for it. After the show was canceled ABC had all the sets destroyed (including the Batcave). The story goes that NBC wanted to pick up the show but when they found out the sets had been destroyed they passed on it. (Adam West had actually confirmed this story in interviews)

      There was a story during the first season of the episode where Julie Newmar was introduced as Catwoman the episode was interrupted to cover the news that Gemini 8 was having technical trouble in space. The switchboard at ABC was flooded with calls complaining about Batman being interrupted.

    I have to wonder what kind of tights Burt and Adam were given to wear. Men do dance the ballet and do wear tights. Back in 1966, both Burt and Adam had slim bodies that could have been fitted for tights suitable for dancing as well as doing stunt fighting. They went through a lot being Super Heros.

    • @GaryMacdonald-mt7xc
      @GaryMacdonald-mt7xc 3 месяца назад

      Think they looked gorgeous and their legs fitted the tights that were given - but today's Charnos or Walford 120 denier pantyhose would have looked so silky and made the most of costume chic x

      ABC and Greenwood Productions who produced Batman at one point to cut costs were about to fire Madge Blake but Adam West intervened and threatened to leave the show if she was released. They subsequently backed off and I read that Miss Blake baked a cake and brought it to Adam West in appreciation
