16 sodium atoms walk into a bar, followed by Batman.
Dick Grayson. Shhhh.
When I watched Batman in it’s original run some of the villains were making their first appearances to me. For a long time Burgess Meredith was the Penguin to me, and Cesar Romero was the Joker. And when I watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, that one bride, Dorcas, was CatWoman in a long dress.
Son of a gun! I’m very sorry; I could have sworn I remembered seeing Adam West performing that role.
Well…it had some similarities, anyway: the same overall friendly goofiness. Adam West would have played it much the same way.
Been there, done that, have the t-shirt to prove it.
He did some softcore porn in the '80s; totally ruined my image of the squeeky-clean superhero.
I’m asamed to say, that I get that.

I didn’t get it until Spiderman posted the t-shirt picture.
RIP Mr. West. Thank you for the many laughs.
Wait, Batman is an isotope of cobalt with negative eight neutrons?
RIP Mayor West
Thanks for the inspiration for my own cat, Paul.I think there was one part where he talked about filling dozens of Batgroupies with Batsperm. :eek:
My favorite Burt Ward story is when he was being interviewed by some magazine (TV Guide, maybe). He was complaining that no one would take him seriously as an actor. It went something … like this…
*The other day on the set, I asked "All right, what’s my **motivation *in this scene?" Everyone just kind of looked at me, and the director said "Motivation?!? Aw, come on, Burt, just do the scene!
If he’s prepared.
I will run a rope down my driveway and pretend to climb a building in his honor. Truly, he was one of deadpan camp’s greatest luminaries.
Thank you for so many wonderful memories. From Batman to The Happy Hooker to Mayor of Quahog.
Rest In Peace.
Variety has a great obit article. I thought these were wonderful tributes:
That “Bright Night” thing from Burt Ward has to be a typo, right?
I haven’t seen much of The Outer Limits. I thought it was a reference to Robinson Crusoe on Mars (although Adam West’s character was killed when his escape pod crashedso he wouldn’t have met the sand-sharks).
I thought it was a reference to this, from the Batman movie.
My childish view of the series was destroyed when Batman decoded a message left behind in uneaten letters of alphabet soup with the ‘Bat alphabet soup’ analyzer. My six-year old self went, “Wait a minute… this isn’t a crime drama…”
Must have been a third-season episode…
Nope. It is, as it happens, the linked clip from a little earlier in the thread – from the second-season episode where Batman and Robin fight the Green Hornet and Kato.
