Happy Batman Day!!!

75 years strong and easily one of the top 5 crime fighters ever! Where are the Batman fans? Did you like the cheesy tv show? Fave portrayal of Batman and movie? Should he work alone or always have a sidekick? I don't know why I started this thread, but I thought since it's a milestone just do it.

I love the tv show and the last series of movies with Bale as Batman. You can keep the first series of movies with Keaton, Clooney, and Kilmer as Batman. What a fucking joke.

Hi Ivy. biggrin

I love Batman as a child, I love Bat just as much as a middle-age chick. My mother wasn't one to indulge her children much, but she would wait to do whatever so we could watch Batman, which came on everyday at 4:00pm.

I have TV series on DVD. I liked Val Kilmer turn as the Cape Crusader, but Keaton and Clooney were horrible. Of course Bale was perfect for the part.

No matter what, I will always have a special place in my heart for Adam West... biggrin

This was the epitome of cool when we were little....you cannot imagine how we were glued to the tv every day at 4pm, just like Trina says.

And when we finally got a color tv, wooohoooo!

Greatest superhero ever created. No super powers, no special talisman that gives him strength...just a disturbed billionaire who uses his money to turn himself into a crime fighting machine. As for the 60s TV show...LOVED IT (the first two seasons...once they brought in Batgirl and changed the format of the show it went downhill quickly).

.

Favorite cliffhanger: when Catwoman tied Batman and Robin to a BBQ griddle and pointed huge magnifying glasses at their hearts so that at a certain time the sun would burn holes through them. Batman suddenly remembered that there was going to be a lunar eclipse at the precise moment of their doom; he quickly calculated that if they used their feet to adjust the magnifying glass "2.5 degrees to the left" (or something like that) they could use the sun to burn the bonds off of their hands and escape. Worked like a charm. BRILLIANT!!!!!

Make it so, Number One...

I work at Barnes & Noble bookstore part-time, and we celebrated with giveaways, a costume contest for children, and a panel discussion with the author of "Batman and Philosophy".

The employees dressed up as well... I was the Joker. biggrin

Some adult customers showed up at the store in costume. One man had on a cape! LOL!

After 75 years, the Dark Knight Detective continues to evoke outright fear and dread as he protects Gotham City from the most vile evil doers ---and looking cool while he's doing it. Go get 'em, Bats!

Batman '89 was great for its time. Batman Returns would have been better wirh just Catwoman (Danny DeVito was awful). The Schumacher films killed the franchise. The less said about the 60s TV show, the better.

Thank goodness for Frank Miller and Chris Nolan. Their work brought The Dark Knight to greatness.

But I have a bad feeling about Mr. Jennifer Lopez wearing the cowl. WTF were they thinking?
