Rest in piece, and thank you for everything you gave me

I'm gonna miss him
and then in recent years, thanks to some stuff Chris Sims wrote and some urging from a few people on this forum I went back and found that they knew exactly what they were doing, and it was great, and I loved it
Same, West played the best live action Batman to date. This is a real bummer.
He didn't need plastic molded muscles.
All West.
That happened with me with Darwyn Cooke and I'm still not over it
All I can think of is Eartha Kitt
Burt Ward
Speaking of, someone posted this in chat and all I can think while watching it is "Man, Burt Ward looks like he doesn't want to be there today."
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
Series on Blu Ray
Return of the Caped Crusaders
Funko Batman and Batmobile
I've been on the fence about that Batmobile for a few months
I'm glad he got to see the Batman 66 show rereleased, finally, on Blu Ray and DVD. That only happened a couple years ago, and up until then the only exposure I had to it was the movie (which I loved since I was eight) and whatever random episode they'd show at four in the morning on TV Land or whatever
Being able to go back and actually see all the great work that he and the rest of the cast and writers did was awesome for me personally, totally lived up to the heights of the movie, and greatly aided in the critical reappraisal of the show plus exposed a new generation to it for the first time in decades
It really truly holds up as a work of deadpan parody, genuine comedy, and earnest appreciation of its material
RIP, sir. You were our greatest Batman

Legit the best Batman, live action or otherwise
Him and Burt ward have a commentary track for the movie, and he talks about how they had wanted to reshoot the scene where batman gets attacked by a shark because of how bad it looked, and he fought tooth and nail to leave it because it was way funnier to watch him struggling with an obviously fake rubber shark

Still upset this wasn't adopted as a canon part of the Batman mythos
It makes Bruce a lot more human and ties his parents into it even more, that it's something he shared with his dad
Such an awesome guy. At least he had a pretty awesome life.
That commentary track is fabulous
He pointed out on of my favorite gags that I missed for my entire life up to that point: when he's on the date with Fake Russian Catwoman and they're drinking at a fancy restaurant, he's got a brandy snifter
It's full of wholesome, ice cold milk
Because of course it is

That movie is amazing for how much it packs jokes into every little corner of the acting, set design, and editing
You catch something new and hilarious every god damn time

Like anyone could watch this and not make him Batman.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO SIT IN THE BIG CHAIR, MEG!
RIP Batman.
It's also got some truly memorable performances in it
Namely from Adam West and Frank Gorshin
To this day I still remember two moments: Bruce Wayne being all "I'll kill you all" because when I was a kid I one hundred percent believed him, shit was intense
And when Riddler accidentally knocks the Batcopter out of the sky, everyone else is flipping out on the Penguin Sub and he just turns away in complete shock, very quietly, "I got them...? I got them??"
