Adam West Batman premiered 60 years ago today
Gen X slobs and millennial geezers RELENTLESSLY despised this delightful show
Kino
film school should ultimately be learning how to film something and have it looks like 60s Batmanthe blu-ray set is a miracle. absolutely gorgeous.
Still a ridiculously fun show over half a century later. Also apparently Nicholas Cage wants to play a dark version of Egghead.
>>217301839HUUNNNEENENNUDUUDUDDAA
it's the greatest television show ever made
>>217301950That scene was cute asf
It's a smart show and ahead of its time. Nobody else thought to parody superheroes in the 60s. And yet it was more faithful to the comics than most Batman versions.
They tried to chemically castrate Burt Ward because his dick looked too big in the costume
kino
>>217302007Apparently the girls were all about it. His memoir describes returning to his trailer and finding a female fan wearing his costume, ready to bone down
Why is /tv/ being raided by 75 year old boomers? This whole board is filled with retarded nostalgia for ancient shit no one knows about cares about. dumber than my grandpa’s AOL inbox filled with joke chain emails and maga grift. ABSOLUTE TRASH
>>217302092>Nobody knows about batman Lol
>>217301786>julie newmarThings were objectively better in the 60s and 70s
>>217302210How many times to you have to be banned before you get the message that no one gives a fuck about your samefagged mentally ill fixations? No one is your friend here; you and your forced spam are hated. Just fuck off back to the sharty and take your meds, schizo.
>>217302338Eat shit and die gen alpha faggot nobody loves you, crawl back to diktok
>>217302370>- SHIT gets angry when called out, denies it, and lashes out … then doubles down and goes schizoEvery. Single. Fucking. Time. U mad, SANJAY-JI?
>>217301280Moore and Miller convinced an entire generation that a guy who wears a spandex bat costume and beats up literal clowns needs to be an X-rated grimdark neo-noir detective.
>>217302417ok, unc. Go back to watching Fox News and ordering bluechew. Take your meds and fuck off to sharty

>>217302729>mad magazineHoly fuck you really are a 70 year old boomer. What dead media are you going to reference next … playboy? National lampoon? No one remembers or cares, and samefagging isn’t going to change your pathetic lonely trip down memory lane and whatever rape-filled childhood or retardation you’re trying to hide with it. Get professional psychiatric counselling and medication. Seriously.
Bump
>>217302729They parodied everything.I used to read MAD. Didn't know they started in the 50s.
>>217303067>What dead media are you going to reference next … playboy? National lampoon?I've recently been reading Collier's, thank you very much.
You're a faggot if you can't find enjoyment in this show. And I say that as a massive Burton and Nolan appreciator.
>>217303793Even Burton's Batman had a healthy amount of whimsy, and to a lesser extent the first of Nolan's films, and that's part of what made them work.
That episode where uncle Ben is the villain
>>217301615I quoted that episode in a thread the other day>>217301950possibly true>>217302007That's covered in "Return to the Batcave" (2003) of of the few good 'reunion specials' out there:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC-efhnPdKo>>217302092Good TV lasts forever>>217303723mad had some of the best artists, if you value realism. Their movie knockoff's were always above-average
>>217303785>I've recently been reading Collier'sbased
>>217301280>>217302417I watched and enjoyed this show before you or your parents were born. Fuck off.
Will we ever have shows like this again?
I've been marathoning the series and the boomers were right, this show is great. The jokes are all clever and the atmosphere is so fun, it's refreshing to see a show where you are handed an adventure that wraps up in two episodes. The greatest pill to swallow is that capeshit works best when its unashamed by its own goofiness instead of trying to cram the genre into a grounded reality
>>217306705From S1E35:> It's the annual millionaires charity function> they pick a worthy cause> this year, Miss Natural Resources wins> she comes out of a cake and the millionaire throw their donations in cash at her
>>217301254Heath Ledger killed Batman.
>>217306705 I just noticed that my image >>217307197 is from the same episode. Another view of Gregg
>>217307263that scene is from episode 34, but it's way more kino than you're giving it credit for
>>217307157And how the action is pretty good
>>217307599If I had a way of posting the animation, I would have. I thought it was 35, the second part of 34; but it looks like my digital version are numbered wrong, and it's 34 afterall.But a great series either way.
>>217307157But I thought the problem everyone had with Marvel is that it didn't take itself seriously and everything was a joke. Which is it?
>>217307804The difference is that marvel winks too much at the audience but Batman plays it straight and lets the viewer figure it out themselves. Ant-Man and Dr.Strange for example both spend half their movies mocking their own premise and names for being silly. Batman will fight a guy who is themed around eggs and not question it.
>>217308184Yeah. There's a difference between a hero fighting a silly villain but taking it 100% seriously and a hero fighting a serious villain but not taking it seriously at all. The former invests you in the conflict even if the concept is silly, whereas the latter takes you out. If the characters in the movie/show don't even care about what's going on, then why should I as a viewer?
Based
It's incredibly annoying how you can't watch this anywhere
>>217301254Best live action Riddler
>>217301254God damn I'm old
>>217301254This show is actually so fucking good. its 100% supposed to be funny and the genius of it is the comedic timing. Strongly reccomend u all see it even if you think its dated or 'campy' or whatever you will enjoy it.
Hot take(?)Eartha Kitt was the best CatwomanI'm not a fan of how Julie Newmar mumbled and slurred her words.Eartha Kitt went the opposite way. Her delivery was razor sharp, and she was really good at rolling her R's to sound like purring.I watched the show as a comedy, so the dialog was king. Kitt was better at delivering her lines.If you watched it to goon, then Julie Newmar was better.
>>217308647My favorite running gag is how Robin immediately solves all of Riddler’s riddles without having to think about them at all
>>217307599Penguin always had the hottest sluts in his gang.
>>217301280No they don't.I'm Gen X and we watched this shit as kids. We loved it.
>>217309419Every riddler episode is just >the letter 12… now what could that mean Robin? >12, just like a dozen donuts! The riddler is hiding in the donut factory!
>>217309547Chickadee was a fine piece of ass
>>217309767This show was full of 60s hotties
>>217309835All wearing cute tight outfits.
>>217309843Adam West was visibly hard in this scene. https://youtu.be/UgW_PhNHq0g?si=pZaF3nsG1ctevIji
>>217308618Yeah, it's a brillant show but it's a pain in the arse to find it. The best batman by miles, the cast absolutely hated Burton's in 1989>What's he doing its supposed to be fun?
>>217301254Why did this show work but the Schumacher movies are widely hated today?
>>217308816Amereddit zoomer thinking he's having an original though.You love to see it.
>>217310045By the time the Schumacher movie came out LSD was illegal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBaD51IxP7k
>>217310045The Schumacher movies are kino. Only plebs hate them.
>>217310045Answer: They’re over-hated.
>>217310045There was no Nolan quips
>>217310045George Clooney is joyless as Batman. Like Daniel Craig's James Bond.
>>217310274At least Uma and Arnold enjoyed themselves
>>217301615When did it go woke?
Hi freeze I'm batman is a kino quip
>>217301891And don't forget the joker!
>>217310045I think was the audience expectations/tonal whiplash that came from succeeding Burton’s movies. There was plenty of time between West and Keaton to set them apart while Keaton, Kilmer and Clooney were packed together with some vague continuity. It doesn’t help that Returns was too dark for some people and switching moods in Forever only pissed off the people who stuck around. Schumacher’s humor also didn’t feel as sharp as the ‘66 show
Imagine if original joker saw the dark knight
>>217310369https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM-JQzUkWww
>>217310357Yes, if the Schumacher movies were made first I think people would be easier on them, but since Batman 1989 proved you can take the character more seriously it just didn’t make sense to see Arnold’s Mr. Freeze less than 10 years later
>>217310058shoo joo
>>217301254And it's still great.Would watch something like that over the last few stinkers, if Hoollywood had some sense of humour left
>>217301254Best version of Batman.
>>217301254Still kino and accurate.
>>217302417Moore wrote a single 30 page comic that was more about the Joker
the movie is still a pretty solid Batman story
>>217301280What? Literally the two gens that grew up with the show always being on somewhere
>>217311356He was brought up by an ipad. Cut him some slack.
>>217302417>>217301280No theory of mind guys think these two posts go wicked hard.
>>217301280I'm 32 and I watched the movie on VHS all the time as a child. My boomer (actual baby boom (58', 59') parents and I love this show.
>>217302729>MAD #4Based.
>>217302417>MoorePic related sell-out?
The show is too repetitive to be that enjoyable but the movie is still absolute kino. Think I'll order some beer and watch it instead of working.
>>217301280>Gen X slobs and millennial geezers RELENTLESSLY despised this delightful showOK, shill
>>217311633>Wayne Enterprises Brand Shark Repellent Spray
Actresses still alive?! Talking about 9 lives...
>>217311803Burt Ward is also alive. Basically everyone else from the show is dead.
>>217311873>Zoomer finds out that people age and dieHow you holding up, champ?
>>217311885Seek help for your mental illness.
>>217311900Ok europoor
>>217311873I hope he didn't hate west
>>217311885Don't be too harsh to them, anon. Maybe there is a way to make them appreciate this kino.
>>217310274>George Clooney is joylessThis is it everything he is in is trash as a direct result of his participation
>>217311900>>217311921
NA NA NA NA NA NA BAT MAAAAAAN
