- Probably the most esteemed performer to appear in a Batman window cameo was the legendary actor Edward G. Robinson. Robinson, a noted art collector, takes a veiled swipe at Andy Warhol (the "canned tomato soup" remark). Batman name drops Picasso and Dali to prove he's hip.
"There are no small parts, only small actors." Edward G is one classy guy.
Ha! He always did have big parts in all his movies. Still I love the guy.
He was the best scene stealer out there.
"I think canned soup is to eat, not to frame and hang on a wall"
Edward G. Robinson pwns hipsters.
Edward G. Robinson was a tremendous talent. Even here he is top notch. Watch him in Key Largo. It’s an unbelievably great film.
Edward G. Robinson...
Smooth as silk, even in campy cameos. Gotham never had it so good.
When this guy played evil, it was like broken glass down the nape of your neck.
And you never wanted it to stop.
I don't remember this cameo from the Batman show (I was finishing high school during the couple of years the show was on), but I remember Edward G. Robinson doing a coffee commercial in 1967. He was urbane and sophisticated, a truly elegant gentleman who praised and recommended the coffee for it's taste and quality, etc. Then right at the last few seconds, he abruptly changes character and growls "Now do it MY way, SEE?" then immediately changes back, smiles and says "You'll like it." There's nobody around today even remotely like him. And I can't remember the brand of the coffee...
Instant Maxwell House Coffee. (It's on the 'tube.) Now, if you want a real trip, view the earliest commercials for Lipton Instant Tea. (Iced tea? Wouldn't think of it!)
I never noticed Edward G. Robinson was on Batman! That is hilarious and so awesome at the same time. Edward G. what a guy, what a guy...
Wow! What a scene! The king of movie gangsters meets the dynamic duo. Great!
1:03 I love how much authority yet fatherly courtesy is in his voice.
Andy Warhol got owned. Soup is for eating.
It seems hard to believe it, but...Edward G. Robinson somehow managed to encapsulate my thoughts on Andy Warhol pretty expertly in his conversation with the building climbing Dynamic Duo. And my brain hurts just thinking that.
Robinson was an avid art collector, and they probably asked him to just talk about something he liked...and doesn't it show!
Loved the classic "climbing the walls" cameos on Batman! I looked up Edward G Robinson because I heard his voice was the inspiration for Chief Wiggum on The Simpsons (or actually Mel Blanc doing his impression of EGR). Listening to him I can definitely hear the Wiggum inspiration.
Eddie Robinson could have made reading the phone book interesting.
Edward G. Robinson was one of the legends of film noir, particularly his Fritz Lang collaborations :)
'Woman in the Window' was miserable though. Whatever quality it had goes down the drain with that cop-out ending.
such a great voice
"But you should see the great mug shots we have!"
priceless
There are no small parts == only small actors. Mr. Robinson does wonders with this famous cameo appearance opportunity.
Oooh, take that, Andy Warhol !
Haha yeah. :D Even after all these years you can still smell the BURRRRRN :D
Edward pops from the window and Batman says: Sorry, we thought you came in Egypt with Charlton...
Edward plays Dathan in the Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston as Moses!
Loved him in that movie. That was one of his best roles.
This guy's pauses are better than most actors' delivery.
Edward G. Robinson was a class act all the way. I remember him in a Maxwell House commercial, he was really cool.
Edward G. Robinson, Dathan in the 10 Commandments
Edward G Robinson certainly knew his stuff when it came to art. If you look at the closing credits for Lust For Life he's mentioned as a technical advisor.
Edward G Robinson-Star of numerous Gangster Pictures from back in the day, With titles like Little Ceasar and Kid Galahad. He also costarred with Charlton Heston in a couple of films-The Ten Commandments and Soylent Green. He was the original choice to play Dr. Zaius in Planet of the Apes, But dropped out because he felt Claustrophobic under the ape makeup.
I love watching batman episodes because it brings out the kid in me,
that canned soup paiting is now worth $71 Million by 2021
Holy cow Batman, is that not about the greatest cameo ever?
Robinson was an art collector.
The comments on Edgar G Robinson in this thread are a tribute to a great actor, and a credit to the good folks that enjoyed his work. One of my favorite movies of his is Double Indemnity.
"Canned tomato soup is to eat, not to frame and hang up on a wall." @ 0:44 . Even though I hate tomato soup, my thoughts EXACTLY on the latter. You see cans of tomato soup all the time at the grocery store, but how and why Andy Warhol chose that as one of his subjects, I do not know, I'll never know. I mean, for one thing, there's a slight tear in the label of the can. In other words, the status quo around us could use a little shaking up. I can see where Warhol was coming from, but why a can of tomato soup as that subject???? It gets boring, whether among Warhol's collection or in the store for that matter. Anyways, I've seen better from the "cubist" school that was just mentioned (and besides, that was more Bruce Wayne talking, even in costume). Oh well, screams Warhol anyway, with all the loud colors used in Seasons 2 and 3 of the show😕 But Edward G. Robinson was Romanian AND Jewish, and I actually happen to be Romanian, born and raised here the US (though not Jewish), seriously, IDK, so great minds DO think alike LOL 😆
Don't they get tired from just "hanging" from there? LOL
CLASSIC!!!
Edward G Robinson played an artist in Scarlet Street
What arm strength to hold on that long lol
Yeah see! yeah!
@ZyxthePest He made his views on Andy Warhol very clear.
There's such a weird tension between Robinson and Batman. It feels like they've met before and some bad shit went down.
Why have they only brought the movie version of this show out for, I'd love to see this cheesy superhero show on DVD I always enjoyed it!!
Thank you!
The dynamic duo...SEE!
yeah, it's Batman and Robin see?!?
😂
Awesome , thanks for posting
love how things use to be quick and cheap but still better than new shows
It's been said before - Batman is Pop Art. Campy as hell, but part of our culture.
I thought it funny & surreal that they could have a discussion with Edward G. Robinson about art while " climbing up a building.
Is this the end of Rico?
Great remarks from Edward G. I wonder how he would do on the show "Laugh Ins' where Guests stars at the of the show open up these little windows say outrageous landish things
I actually came here looking for that! I'm watching the '71 World Series and they do a plug for EGR being a guest on Laugh-in after the WS (day)game!
This is so cool, seeing the late great EGR on Batman..."Yea ,yea see the dynamic duo yea yea"
Ironic that they chat about art. In real life Edward G. Robinson was a very accomplished art collector. He would have been good as one of the criminals on the series too. They had a lot of famous actors and celebrities playing as the criminals on Batman.
See, I'm your pal mugsy, your pal.
@JubalCalif Love the swipe at Warhol!
This clip is great on so many levels!!I love it!
..Y'aint got nuthin' on me Batman...nuthin' see..nahh
Jesus, what a weird scene.
If he'd pop outa a window at me and I was robin I'd probably fall in surprise
Because they're 'Batman & Robin'! Sheesh!!!
If Dean Martin opened the window and offered them a Martini, they couldnt accept necause drinking dull the senses? Holy drunk commedienne😂😂
Believe it or not Edward G Robinson was never nominated for an academy award throughout his extensive career. In 1973 he did receive an honorary award posthumously but to this day it remains one of many great injustices in academy award history.
@Cool2BCeltic I'm not sure I agree with Mr. Robinson on that. To me art is everywhere. In a woman's smile or a can of tomato soup.
I've had less trippy happenings on LSD.
Indeed.
they filmed those scenes so cheap because all they did was flip the scenery to the side. in reality they're just walking on normal ground. edward g robinson did his part by popping out of a window in the floor. notice how in every batman where someone confronts them on the side of the building they hold the window open with one hand.
Haters will say that this was edited 😂
In Jamaica they call them Batay Boys.
Uhh...aren't Batman & Robin REALLY too close together in that situation? ijs
Emmanuel Goldenberg aka Edward G. Robinson. His pictures were framed, see?
Edward G. Robinson bought several of Frida Kahlo's paintings
@BGDD27 - no joke? Telling an inside secret just ruined for me
Edward G. Robinson see
now turn your head to the right, and watch the video again lol very obvious that gravity isnt quite what it seems...
SPANDEX!!!!!!!!
Perhaps a precursor to the Hollywood Squares?
@ZyxthePest
Damn right!
lol ^^ the adam west series was so silly ^^
Thats Batman see and Robin too nyahh see.
2022 the year we learn the truth about Solyent Green
399th like
ha!
They should've had them climb after having Mexican food for lunch. Robin, slightly ahead of Batman, rips ass making stool right in the "Crapped Crusaders" face screaming "Holy Shit Crapman"! Wiping feces from his eyes, mouth & nose Batman calmly replies: "Maybe Commissioner Gordon should rename the town "Gotham Shitty"... da da da da da da da da, take a bath, man!
Myeah, see? You're gay, see? Myeah. Myeah, see?
Batman and Robin seee a bunch of helpers to the coppers meh meh!
Nyah, see?
