Here are some really great pics I thought I would share today. You know, to totally torture you, ha ha! This is an extremely cool vintage 1960's toy that I bet some of you might have had this when you were a small child. This is the BATMAN HOT LINE BATPHONE!! It came out during the craze of the 1966 Batman TV Show & kids at that time totally loved it! It was made by the Classic Toy Company, LOUIS MARX & CO. It's a battery-operated device where, when you press a button, it would say 10 different sayings or phrases - stuff like, "We can never let the people down!, This is our kind of fight!, Depart in haste - Boy Wonder!, They'll never remove the bat mask!, Go thaw Mr. Freeze!, & (my favorite) Go ZAP those greasy criminals!" I wonder if there's a YouTube video of the TV Commercial ( if they made a TV ad ) or maybe somebody created a MP3 of the sounds, who knows? It would be great to hear them again. By the way, these pics were sent to me by a friend to totally torture me. You see, he knows that I don't have this thing & I really want one. Thanks Jim, you made me cry. I hope you're happy now, ha ha!
Here's a video I thought was kind of interesting. It's a small collection of Batgirl ( Barbara Gordon ) clips when she used to sneak into her Father's office to use the Bat-Phone! He was the Gotham City Police Department's Commissioner Gordon after all, with a direct line to Batman! The whole thing is kind weird...check it out!
This post is just a random sampling of some funny Batman humor...ha ha! Be sure to click on the "comic strip" so it's large enough to read & thanks to everybody who mailed these in, you guys ROCK!
OK, This post is just totally wacky!! We have a friend named Wally Wingert who lives in California. For a long time he owned a Batman Costume that is pretty nice. It's like the one worn from the 1966 TV Series. Well, recently he had this manikin made that looks exactly like Adam West. Then he had some Contractors, Electricians, Designers, etc... all come in & built a "Cave Wall" facade on one wall & they attached this thing to it. It all lights-up & he says it's a lot like one of those displays you see in a Haunted House, or something like that. It looks pretty elaborate & the costume is just really really great! The other neat thing about it is he displays all of his Batman TV Show Props he has like the Batarang, Bat-Radio, Batphone, & More! Overall it's just insane & I bet it looks even cooler in person. Anyways, I thought some readers here would love it!( Please be sure to click on the above photo for a larger, more detailed, version ).
