Batman is Born...


Hard to believe but on May 1, 1939 Batman made his first apperance in a comic book in Detective Comics #27...its kinda funny my introduction to Batman was through Adam West's 1966-69 campy TV series which has yet to be released on DVD due to well litigation...Fox owns the TV show, but Warner Bros owns the characters and trademarks via way of DC Comics...a bummer for fans although im sure one good Ebay search could find the show for its many fans...i used to watch of course the Superfriends and this short lived Batman Saturday morning show in the mid 70s...i think Filmation did it and it was pretty rad except for Bat-Mite who was kind of the Scrappy-Doo of the show which brought Scrappy-Doo heat from me and my friends..i owned the Mego action figure..clothes, pajamas etc.. i still have my Batman bank my parents bought me somewhere.. i might catch heck for this so i might as well say it...i never bought Micheal Keaton as Batman...i never did...Val Kilmer was ok..Geroge Clooney would have been good if he had a better flick..one of the last movies i ever saw at the Capital and one of the worst...the new dude is a much better Batman...however Adam West is still my fav...along with the Bat Shark Repellent..but that is a favorite story for another time.. ill be blogging sometime later...some Robb time..same Robbblog...
