The SECRET ORIGIN of the BAT-NIPPLE - Adam West Did it Best!

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Here it is, at long last...the secret origin of the dreaded Bat Nipple! The video that absolutely no one asked for but, for some strange reason, demanded to be made. For years, I've blamed director Joel Schumacher for the introduction of Bat Nipples in the 1997 feature film, "Batman and Robin". It turns out, however, that Bat Nipples have been around for a much longer period of time that I could have ever imagined. Watch this video to find out more!

The Penguin was always my favorite "bad guy" from the classic TV show. Just something about Burgess Meredith as The Penguin was so cool.
Thanks for clearing up the "Bat Nipple" controversy for us. Great video idea. 😎👍
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Dsdcain!
Lol, I was never pissed off about the bat nipple. I just found Batman & Robin to be incredibly boring, lol!
The 1989 Batman film is my favorite. I liked the fact that Keaton's physique as Bruce Wayne was smaller and helped hide the fact he was Batman. Also the Nintendo 8 bit game was one of the best games for the NES. Spectacular graphics!
I remember that Nintendo game!
Loved the old Batman!!! It was the only Batman we had.🤷🏻♀️😎☮️
When it comes to the Joker I totally agree with you that Caesar Romero is the top. I can’t understand why today’s world keeps trying to make the Joker a hero. He’s a villain; a funny, kooky villain- but a villain no less. 👍 Love your videos!
With the exception of the Christian Bale Batman movies, I strongly prefer the classic television series versus these silly movies. I don't care for any of the movies at all. P.S.; Burgess Meredith was my favorite super Villian. He always seem to know what Batman and Robin was using or their plan as if he was out here with us.
Burgess was the perfect Penguin! ruclips.net/video/wRJKqP1l3_Y/видео.html
What??? You don't like the 1989 Batman, with Micheal Keaton??? That one & Batman Returns are probably the only 2 Batman movies I'll sit through.
@@brandonpage7087 Too comic bookish to me. To each their own. That being said, I prefer the first and third batman movie with Christian bale.
Another great show Dave! Keep up the good work
Thanks Kevin!
Warner Bros. had all the costumes on displsy at the museum or that overflow display on the studio lot. It was so great as employees to stroll on our lunch break at check them out. Thousands of costumes, Harry Potter memorbalia...Oscar's and of course the WB Batmobile, Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine....Austin Powers Mini Cooper. Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, James Dean, Bette Davis...costumes. movie manuscripts'
That sounds so cool!
Cesar Romero is the grandfather of all screen Jokers. That guy laid down a performance for the ages. I don’t have a problem with Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal of the character. They modernize Cesar’s complete Joker look for Joaquin. Joaquin plays the role much darker than Cesar does.
Much much darker!
@@jdsundstrom yes!! 😀😀. I’m glad I was a child watching Cesar, not Joaquin. 😳😁😁😳😁😁😁😁
Val kilmers suit had nipples too
Perhaps the bat nipple wasn't Schumacher's fault, but he still made Batman and Robin. ;)
Lol good one
Thanks Danny!
What in the heck?!! Lol!!!
If you chuckled or even smiled while watching the video....mission accomplished. 🙂
@@jdsundstrom I did lol!!
Cesar Romero was Tops as The Joker.............Plus he looked like this neat old guy that used to live up the hill when I was a kid.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing, RB!
@Raw Bacon
My crazy tough former marine uncle looked like a cross between Romero’s Joker and J. Jonah Jameson from the ‘67 Spider-Man cartoon!
The surfing episode was my favourite, shark repellent was the best
Joel Schumacher absolutely destroyed the "Batman" franchise.
It was more than just Joel...but yes.
Joel Schumacher gets a lot of unnecessary flack for Batman & Robin. It's a Director's Job to interpret the Script that was selected by the Producers and the Studio. Joel Schumacher obviously did the Job he was paid to do.
Well said, Mr. Snyder. Well said. 🙂
@@colonelguile-957 Directors do more than follow the script. They establish their imprimatur on each of their productions. This is what distinguishes their films from all the others directors, as you well know.
But fortunately Christopher Nolan resurrected it!
Loved Batman in almost all its emanations. Almost all.
Bit of a stretch, but a fun video nonetheless. Haha. ;) But anyway, Joel did enough that they [indirectly, but we all knew exactly where it was aimed] made fun of him on Batman: The Animated Series.
Yah...definitely a stretch. Just a fun little video remembering one of my favorite episodes from the classic TV show. I also remember that episode of B:TAS. 🙂
I loved the Surfs Up, Jokers Under episode of Batman when I was a kid. I didn't mind the season with Batgirl at all.
I don't mind it either. I think the thing that bugs me the most about the 3rd season is the very obvious difference in budget from the first two seasons. Clearly, the dollars had been dramatically reduced.
That WAS a good episode. It had some cool cars in it also. Joker was riding in a pretty radical hotrod it that one.
There's no doubt Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson were WAY better than Heath Ledger as the Joker. (Joaquin Phoenix may come in a close second, with all due respect...judging by the costume).
What no fans of Jared Leto's brilliant portrayal of "Joker"? 😂
George Clooney and Joel Schumacher both have apologized for Batman and robin
Yep. Both of them caught a lot of grief about that movie over the years.
Yep George Clooney makes fun of himself for playing Batman he thought he destroyed the franchise that came out of his mouth it wasn't Schumacher intentions to disappoint people he just wanted to entertain them
I think I'll still give Joel credit for screwing it up. What was seen on Adam West was no where near what Joel had done. If Adam West had done this on the show and was noticeable by everyone the censors would have lost their minds. I'm sure it was just some type of flaw in the costuming on Adam West Batman, but Joel was deliberate.
I think Joel gave the WB execs exactly what they wanted at the time. A big dumb movie that was kid friendly and would hopefully sell a lot of toys.
@@jdsundstrom And todays issues have gotten worse. They are giving the entire world dumb woke movies, re-make old movies with no imagination of themselves for new creations and causing the world to be turned upside down. The so-called actors of today are a joke, they stand in front of a blue or green screen and the actual movie makers are the computer techs making the movie with the special effects and the green-screen so-called actors are making the big bucks, this is backwards, The computer people making all the special effects and creating the movie excitement should be making the big bucks today. There are no real actors anymore. What I respect in an actor is anyone that serves in the military or is willing to and respect our Flag and Anthem instead of trash them. The way they did years ago now that is what deserves respect.
I put most of the blame on the studio. They wanted a more kid friendly Batman after Burton's movies more in line with the TV series. When I'm in the mood for Batman, it's usually between Burton's and Adam West's versions.
Great video Dave. Thanks for clearing Joel Schumacher's name by showcasing the real debut of the Bat Nipple! I will say though, I hated....no....dare I say "loathed" the Schumacher Batman movies, and my favorite Joker is definily Heath Ledger (RIP Heath).
Heath was great. The posthumous Academy Award was well-deserved. He just never made me laugh the way that Cesar Romero did. 🙂
This technically means that Batman jumped the shark way before Fonzie did. An entire decade earlier. 1967 for the Batman episode and 1977 for the Happy Days episode. So that's Bat Nips and jumping the shark all in one episode. Cinematic firsts. 😂
Joker was the man I loved it when bat girl was in ty
I loved the 60s tv and movie Batman. And I especially love this episode. I guess it's part of the reason I took up surfing in the 80s & 90s. Awesome stuff. 😀
AW is the only Batman. But even more so CR is the ONLY JOKER. No other ever went so far over the top in a performance of the character.
Dave, you always teach me something. I never noticed the villians' lairs were filmed at an angle. Now I can't unsee it. So cool. Have a great week!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Such a masterpiece of television and the reason I love Batman to this day it all started during the hype for the 1989 Batman movie family channel that is now known as freeform aired it in the afternoon but if u were willing to stay up after Alfred Hitchcock presents at 12:30 am they would air the next days episode Orr u could just wait for the afternoon airing but I could never wait and looking back over the years I know at 5 years old as I was at the time it was probably to let to stay up but I was allowed to stay up and after getting the internet in the late 90’s I would hurt the internet for ways to watch the series since the movie had been released by then and that would start my vast knowledge of the show by this point most videos I watch on RUclips about the series and movie doesn’t have much information I don’t already know and not to brag but I have actually seen a production report for one of the shooting day for the minstrel plot
Thanks for sharing!
🤗👍👍👍👍👍 Oh Yeah ! My grandparents had made a Go- kart that was a replica of the Bat mobile ! And yes I did have the costume as well 🤗 And as if that was not enough my best friend had a custume as well as Robin, The Boy wonder.
As odd as Surf’s Up. Joker’s Under is, it’s a classic in the run of the ’66 series. The image of Cesar and Adam in costume surfing is timeless.
Aside from the episodes that introduced Batgirl, "Surf's Up" might be my favorite episode from the third season.
I certainly loved the Batman Series from the 60's. The reason is the TV Series was fun to watch but wasn't to violent. It had a bit of humor in it. Cesar Romero did look like a real Joker from the Comic book. The other Jokers Heath Ledger looked more like Beetle Juice and Jared Leto looked more like a Zombie. The TV Series from the 60's had a touch of class.
Hey Dave, interesting topic. I was wondering if you could turn up your audio a little bit. I had to turn my lap top's audio all the way up to hear this video.
Yes. I'll adjust the audio a bit more in future videos. Thanks for the feedback, Stanley. 🙂
Campy Batman ruled! Nips and all! Nice one Dave!!
Thanks Pat!
I so agree Dave! I grew up with the show, and was looking forward to the series of movies, years later.
Well, I saw the first one and never went back to another. It was much too dark and dismal. The show was the best! Thank you so much for the wonderful videos!
What I remember of the Batman surfing contest against the Joker episode:
1) Both Batman and Joker adorned swimming trunks even though they were still fully dressed.
2) We got to see Barbara Gordon (a.k.a. Batgirl) in a swim suit.
3) The lovely Sivi Aberg as Joker's henchwoman.
It's an incredibly silly episode. When I was in my twenties, I hated it. Now, for whatever reason, watching it brings me joy. 🙂

That surfing episode of Batman was one of Arnold Ziffel's favorite.
Arnold has great taste!
It is rumored that Schumacher tried to model his movies after the 60s television show but he really took it to far with the chest dots
Was hoping to 👀 Julie Newmar 😳 !
Here you go, David! ruclips.net/video/11PcipK8iCM/видео.html
I’ve never seen that movie. My fave Batman was 1989.
I really like those first two Tim Burton movies...and the Christopher Nolan "Dark Knight" trilogy is incredible. That said, the classic TV series from the 60s is nearest and dearest to my heart.
My wife fell asleep as well. We were dating at the time. I was so mad that I dragged her out of the theater. I am very lucky she didn't dump me that night. 🙂
Of course West's were all natural and just for a minute..... Schumacher? Well it was just WRONG in every way! Still great video and YES!!! Romero was the quintessential joker...and let's never forget he was an older man when he took on that roll...even running in sand his energy never ebbed!
You'd never realize that he was older than the rest of his co-stars.
@@jdsundstrom He did an outstanding job!! Thanks for the great content!
Dave I remember this episode(I'm 65 so I watched it first run as well as reruns) always wondered about the swimsuits,would never have given bat nips a thought but why didn't you give us a shot of Bat girl in her suit?🤣🤣
Ha! I should have done that. Of course, you can always go back and watch this video: ruclips.net/video/NISU4rAezq4/видео.html
@@jdsundstrom thanks for the reminder Dave! I did watch and comment on that 9mos ago but it was nice to see it again!
I never liked any Batman movie but you can't compare 60s joker to more modern jokers. Completely different.
You're right. They are VERY different. But...I can compare the enjoyment that I get from each version.
@@jdsundstrom true
Holy Bat Npple😂!
Never in a million years did I think I would make a video about Bat Nipples...but, there you go!
Holy batman its manos hands of fate 🤣
Holy Areola, Batman !
I know Cesar is yoour favorite Joker, Dave, but mine has a more animated origin. I'm a big fan of Bruce Timm and Paul Dini's animated series so my favorite Joker is the one voiced by Mark Hamill. As a matter of fact my favorite Batman is voiced by Kevin Conroy. However Adam West could be my second choice as an adult I really get a big kick of the humor in campy TV series.
Still Yvonne Craig will always be Batgirl for me. Biiiig crush.
I'm an odd sort as I liked like the 1989 Tim Burton movie that started it, but not a big fan of Batman Returns, as I felt DeVito's Penguine was to ghoulish and rediculous. And liked the Schumacher Batman Forever, but not the Batman and Robin one. When I say odd I mean I like all the odd Batman of that franchise. 1 and 3 but not 2 and 4. Go figure.
Larry - I love Mark Hamill as the Joker! He's right there with Cesar for me.
Thanks Dave for this lovely video. BTW, did you do any videos on Cimarron Strip? Or Wanted Dead or Alive? Thanks again for your time and effort
No videos on those shows yet.
I love the Batman tv show is a colorful comic book fun with adventure and also the third season with Batgirl I never get tired of watching this version of Batman
Its getting nippley in here Dave brrrr how are you Dave can't wait for the night court the good stuff
I can't wait either!
Joel Schumacher was a very very good film director, and his Batman movies WERE modern creative adaptations of the Adam West Batman screen franchise. I really like both of Joel’s Batman movies. I recognized what Joel Schumacher was doing in 1995, but it was a big creative risk for its time.
I'm not sure it was a creative decision that paid off the way that Joel had hoped it would. That said, I agree that Joel was a talented director.
We had hit a Post-Keaton Batman Era. There was no going back for many people. I was surprised that Batman Forever was a hit, but I think curiosity over Val Kilmer, Chris O’Donnell and Jim Carrey put it over the top.
I'm not a fan of that movie. Probably because I wanted it to be more like "Batman Returns".
@@jdsundstrom I love Batman Returns and I also agree with you. But, I also knew the train had left the station on that style of Batman movie after all of the controversy over it in 1992.
Tim Burton was ahead of his time . Tim gave us a deft mixture of fantasy, realism, and darkness with his Batman movies. Thirteen years after the release of “Batman Returns “ Christopher Nolan goes much farther than Tim Burton does. Nolan turns down fantasy, turns up realism and darkness, and gets widespread acclaim and financial success.
It would seem that the “Surf’s up, Joker’s Under” episode may have actually been the first on television to jump the shark, in a sense.
Btw, the recently departed William Smith portrayed a henchman named Adonis in the final episode of Batman”. Would adding this along with appearances on “Bonanza”, “Kung Fu”, “I Dream of Jeanie” and a starring role in the last season of the original “Hawaii 5-0” to those I mentioned in a reply to a viewer’s comment on your recent Charlie Robinson upload get you to reconsider a tribute to Smith?
And let me not forget “The Six Million Dollar Man” as well.
I'll do some more research about William Smith, Norton. Thanks for the feedback!
He was an opponent in one of Clint Eastwood's monkey movies, a villain on Buck Rogers, and a several of outlaw biker movies.
@bwtv147
Yes, he duked it out with Joe Namath in “C.C. and Company”. Was also Conan’s father in the 1980 film.
@Dave Sundstrom
Cool, Dave. I think you’ll be surprised by the volume of his work.
Sometimes the oldies are the better ones, because of the memories they bring back.
You hit the nail on the head, JG Harts!
😎great
Thanks Mike!
@@jdsundstrom 😎
I wonder if “Surf’s Up. Joker’s Under “ was influenced creatively by the popularity of The Beach Boys’ music during the 1960’s.
On the Batman movies, I prefer Jack Nicholson version right behind Caesar Romero.
Nicholson was great. No doubt about it.
@@jdsundstrom I agree.
The Batman TV series was, obviously, a parody. But a parody of what? Not the "Dark Knight," that's for sure.
By the 1960s, the comic book Batman had evolved from an on-the-edge, borderline psychotic into a simple crimefighter and detective. And criminals like the Joker went from being dangerous--and homicidal--to being, well, silly. Silly criminals in silly suits pulling off silly crimes for no apparent reason.
This was all due to the Comics Code Authority, a self-policing set of principles adopted by the comic book industry under pressure from Congress. Similar to the Hayes Commission in films, the CCA served to dampen the excitement of the comics--and the gore--turning them into something 8-year-olds could understand and enjoy. THAT's the Batman parodied by Adam West.
By the beginning of the 1970s, the CCA was being ignored and the Batman we know--the Dark Knight--began his comeback. This guy is reflected in the movies by Batman versions done by Michael Keaton (still my favorite), Christian Bale, and (though not as effective) Ben Affleck.
Why the third and fourth installments of the Batman movies drifted from the excellent standard set by Tim Burton and the Dark Knight example from the comics, I'll never know. But it did. Val Kilmer's version was tolerable, and Clooney's was just awful. (Even Clooney acknowledges this, blaming himself for taking the role without really examining the script--he wasn't yet Clooney the movie star.)
The nipples? It doesn't matter where they come from. They're just part of the same silly package. Thank goodness Christopher Nolan came along to save us all.
Minor correction, the infamous molded bat-nipples were in Batman Forever with Val Kilmer vs Adam's natural through the spandex which made several appearances depending on California weather conditions during filming. I enjoyed Surf's Up, Joker's Under because of the lovely Yvonne Craig in a bathing suit, seeing Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara as beach combers and the overall fun of the story.
Julie Newmar was the best Catwoman ever.
Totally agree!
Only watched the Adam West / Burt Ward versions. Didn't want to ruin my "happy memories" with the other darker Batman films.
Did not Bruce Brown (ENDLESS SUMMER) assist on this episode?
Adam West came to DragonCon in Atlanta about 10 years ago. I'm not much of an autograph collector, but I jumped in line and got his. It hangs on my wall in my man-cave now!
Might as well have balls on the costume too
Ha! That's pretty funny!
Cesar Romero lived a long time. He was 86 years old when he passed away January 1, 1994.
Liked Batman in the earlier years! Great stuff!
The best!
I don't know what happened to my comment? All that posted was a quotation mark! Great video Dave!
Sorry to say dave maybe back then Dave but still nobody want to see bat nipples in Batman and Robin
Ha! Very true. This video isn't getting the same number of views. The people have spoken. No more videos about nipples!
@@jdsundstrom in truth the people who love and honor Batman spoken no more bat nipples video
Great video Dave
Thanks Jeff! 👍
I consider the late Joel Schumacher's Falling Down to be a perfect movie. It's got great characterization and a hell of a twist. And I think that in a way his Batman films were attempts to capture the different eras of the Batman comics. The first two were dark and moody like the first 15 years of Batman. Then the third one was slightly over the top like the Dick Sprang designed props of the era. The fourth one was pure 60's, with Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey invoking the over-the-top villains of the era. Then the Nolan movies invoked the 1970's through to the 90's.
"Falling Down" is an amazing movie.
I enjoyed Batman as a kid but it's just to campy for me now!
The older I get, the more that I enjoy the humor.
@@jdsundstrom Nothing wrong with that. 😉
@@jdsundstrom I'm actually able to sort of "code switch" when I watch the show. I can enjoy the absurdity of the production as an adult, but I can also ignore all that and let the 5-year-old inside be thrilled with every viewing.
That's impressive, Raja1938!
Oh yes I remember the bat butts and bat nipples chicks dig the car this is why superman works alone everybody hates on the Joel Schumacher Batman films I loved the Schumacher Batman films of course I love the tim Burton Batman movies better but as goofy as Batman and robin is I still enjoy it and find it funny Dave Batman forever wasn't that bad in my opinion I'll always like the Schumacher Batman movies they get hated on but I like them thanks for sharing Dave 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The Tim Burton Batman movies are great
Thanks for sharing, Cade!
Your very welcome Dave my pleasure
A lot of people thought Val Kilmer was a good Batman and brought a Kevin Conroy vibe to his Batman I like Val as Batman he was good Bruce Wayne
I wasn't a big fan of Kilmer as Batman or Bruce Wayne. That said, I've always felt like he was a great actor. Loved him in "Tombstone"!
ROTFL 😂😹😹😹😆
I loved the TV series. It bore no relation to the comics, but it was fun!
The great thing about Batman is that so many different versions of the character can co-exist.
@@jdsundstrom and some of them are actually worth watching
Not like the comics? Read some sixties batman and get back to me on that.
