The Bizarre Batman Connection to Quentin Tarantino’s New Movie

Odds are we’ll never get to see a Quentin Tarantino superhero movie, but his latest film does pay homage to an iconic superhero property in a bunch of ways. Just to be clear, this is not at all a spoiler for the plot of Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood. If you stay through the credits…

Batman vs. Two-Face Is a Perfect Tribute to the Endless Charm of Adam West’s Bright Knight

It’s impossible to separate Warner Bros.’ latest DC animated movie from the fact that it features Adam West in his final outing as Batman. West’s tragic death just four months ago saddened fans everywhere. And while the movie can most certainly stand on its own, beyond serving as a fitting tribute, it excels in bringing…

Adam West’s Dark Knight Will Rise Once More in Batman vs. Two-Face

Adam West returned, with much fanfare, as the iconic Caped Crusader last November with Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. After his recent passing, it was unclear whether he’d actually return for the sequel, Batman vs. Two-Face. Lucky for us, West’s Batman will come to life one last time. https://gizmodo.com/rip-adam-west-tvs-batman-1795984530 Warner Bros. has confirmed to…

Don’t Let Disco Nightwing Fool You, the New Batman ’66/Wonder Woman ’77 Comic Gets Surprisingly Dark

There are few things more glorious in superhero comics right now than the Batman ‘66/Wonder Woman ‘77 mash-up series.

He’s BAM, POW and BIFFed his way through history, but the 1966 version of Batman, as played by Adam West, has never met up with Wonder Woman.

The Best Accessory of Hot Toys’ Batman ’66 Joker Figure Is His Painted-Over Moustache

Cesar Romero’s take on the Joker for the Batman ‘66 TV show is iconic—but the very obvious moustache he refused to shave for the role, barely obscured with white face paint, is almost as famous as he is.

Batman ’66 Was A Shining, Joyous Beacon In The Dark World Of Batman Comics

Until recently, DC desperately avoided any sort of acknowledgement of the classic 1960s Batman TV show. Not only did it not represent who Batman was now—a layered, gritty character—it was viewed as an embarrassment. That is, until Warner Bros. got the rights to merchandise the series, and DC gave us one of the most joyful…
