Remembering Adam West on his birthday. We miss you... 🦇🦇🦇 #adamwest #batman #batman66
On the set of the 1966 'Batman' television series: Vincent Price (1911–1993) appears as the villainous Egghead alongside Adam West (1928–2017) as the Caped Crusader. A memorable moment from one of television’s most iconic superhero adaptations. #batman #batman66 #DC #dccomics #marvelcomics #comics 🔄
Eartha Kitt (age 27) guest hosted the penultimate episode of NBC's live, 90-minute variety program YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS #OTD in 1954.
She was already a veteran performer, with hit songs and solo albums and appearances on Broadway.
A very happy 90th birthday to Lee Meriwether!
Lovely Lee has appeared in many of my favourite TV series and films, including, of course, Star Trek and Batman (as far as I’m concerned, she is still the best movie Catwoman). But it was when Lee played Dr Ann MacGregor on The Time Tunnel that a very young Roo first lost his heart to her.
All my very best wishes to a very special lady.

Apparently, it's Trading Cards for Adults Day. No, I don’t know who comes up with these things either.
The first cards I remember collecting appeared in shops in 1966. These were The Riddler's Riddle, featuring scenes from the Batman TV series and movie. A delightful set of 38 cards, each with—as the name suggests—a riddle to solve on the back.
One of my earliest memories is of opening a packet and discovering the cards inside were in Dutch.

Tonight in 1966 — BATMAN debuted on ABC.
59 years later, Adam West and Burt Ward remain the most enduring dynamic duo. đź’Ą
12th January, 1966
The Batman TV series premiered on ABC starring Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin. The first episode, "Hi Diddle Riddle," pitted the Dynamic Duo against the self-styled 'Count of Conundrums,' the Riddler (Frank Gorshin).
"No, citizen... Gotham, 1966."
I found something in the backups. Nine years ago, I edited Batman: The Movie to the music from Mad Max: Fury Road. I don't remember why, probably on some weird impulse, but I remember having fun. I really like both movies. So please enjoy this super short trailer.
Happy Hallowe'en!
