F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!!!!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I'm hoping it comes out on Blu-Ray. Adam West,Yvonne Craig,Julie Newmar, and Burt Ward still do conventions and special appearances so I would hope they would be actively involved.

Oh GOD let this not be a vicious joke.

All those dreadful jokes you never got as a kid (Victor Buono's King Tut referring to his moll as his Aswan Damsel), and all the sexual innuendo you never got as a kid. Check out Julie Newmar's unbridled lust for Batman in a couple of those episodes, her joke about having one's cake and eating it too is just not to be believed!

Liberace as Chandel was priceless. Never before have I seen such God Awful acting and watching it is brilliant! Love this scene. Batman always gave these absurd explanations on how they escape. After a while you just play along and think, 'Yeah! Of course!'

Typical scene. "Lets burst in and Bag those Birds!"

... And the supposed controversy about Robin filling out his tights a bit too well.
I would have to find it, but there was a one hour tv documentary about the series some years ago (another epidose covered The Munsters)... I know it is on YouTube... But they show the screen tests for Adam west and Burt ward, both apart AND together in costume as well as the identical screen test for the two actors were not cast. It was amazing how different it could have been.

I am very excited about this. I was visiting a friend of mine in Seattle last year, and we went to the Emerald City Comic-Con and sat in on a live interview with Adam West and Burt Ward. Ward told a very interesting story about his audition process for the role of Robin.

Basically, when Ward got to the audition/screen test, he was never told what it was for. The script didn't help either because it just said Dick and Bruce. It wasn't until he saw Adam West in his costume that he was able to put two and two together. And, the rest, as they say, is history.
