The Official HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME Website has announced that, in 2012, Adam West will be getting a STAR on the Walk of Fame!! It will be awarded for the TELEVISION category, which is great, because it sort of relates to the 1966 BATMAN TV Show. You might remember reading about this battle to get a star here at the Bat-Blog. All along we have tried to be as supportive as we could & we're really proud of this announcement. So, since we'll have to wait till next year to see his star I thought I would post this mock-up photo I made ( Ha Ha! ) and please enjoy this video, that was one of many, to garner support. Also, CONGRATS ADAM WEST...You Deserve It!!
The photo up above of the ADAM WEST STAR on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is fake. I made it using a photo-editing program by typing his name in a gold-colored font on top of a photo of an actual star, why? Because for some reason the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has, for all these years, denied Adam West of the honor. Well, right now a Film Maker, named James Tooley, is trying to complete a Documentary that will help Mr. West get accepted. But he needs money to finish the project so he started a Kickstarter project to gather donations. If you think West deserves a star then please donate. Donations can be as low as one dollar, but every little bit helps. Also, to see the quality of the "Starring Adam West" Documentary just watch the video down below. Oh yeah, here's the link to Kickstarter, just click HERE!
OK, This video is only kinda-sorta Batman-related ( because it has Adam West ) but basically it's a promo for Fox TV & their Sunday Night Line-Up of wacky animated TV Shows. These commercials have really been cracking me up lately so I thought you guys would like to see one as well. Especially people who don't get that channel, enjoy!
Adam West revamped his website & there's even a few brand-new autographed photos you can buy. One that I thought was pretty cool is this image of him as Mayor West dressed like Batman with Brian as Robin, The Boy Wonder. It combines 2 different TV Shows he has done, Family Guy & 1966 Batman. Actually he still does Family Guy, but you know what I mean. This image is pretty funny! You can visit his site by clicking HERE!
The other day I did a post about the intro to FAMILY GUY where they made the show look like the old 1970's SUPER FRIENDS TV Cartoon Series. Well, here's a side-by-side comparison to show how great it really is!!
In a recent episode of FAMILY GUY, in the beginning of the show, they do an amazing parody of intro to the 1970's classic animated series SUPER FRIENDS. Peter Griffin is Superman, Lois is Wonder Woman, Chris is Aquaman, and Batman & Robin are played by Brian The Dog & Stewie. The animation looks just like the old TV show & the sounds effects are exactly the same. Now, because the Bat-Blog is "all about Batman & Robin", I'm just showing a few screen shots of them. But if ya wanna watch the whole episode, for free, then check out the video on HULU by clicking HERE! One last thing, I know HULU doesn't work in certain countries & I apologize for that but I bet you'll be able to find it on MySpace Video or YouTube.
