I always watched when he and Robin were on. Wouldn't want to see it now as I suspect I’d realise how lame it really was (by today’s standards). Best left as a fond memory, me thinks ;-)

Thanks, Tania. There must surely be room in the movie market for ‘Onomatopoeia Man’…. Hmm… maybe not ;-)

'Onomatopoeia Man!' So funny!! Cheers, Gershon (posted from my bat-phone on my bat-control bat-dashboard in my bat-mobile).

It’s never occurred to me before… but once it did…

Super clever, Terry. I still remember how they did that old series on TV. Hope you get. Win!

really, Terry? I prefer the new version because I like to see character development that goes deeper. Also I am a big fan of the Joker movies.

Thanks, Andrea. I think that old TV series was plain simple fun… even the baddies were fun characters. Today’s Batman is a far more sinister entity and the villains are just plain bad. I pretty much disassociate now-Batman from then-Batman. Glad you enjoyed.

Glad you enjoyed, Paula. It took me an age to think of someone to write about… Hope Robin won’t feel left out.

Lol, I remember it well, tame by today's standards. Tom

I was very young when Adam West played Batman, but always enjoyed even though it could be well corny. I do enjoy the later Batman movies, but they’re not really Batman in my book… nowadays he can near as damn it fly.

Holy moly, Batman. That brought back memories! I enjoyed this very much.
