Why the Dark Knight Owes Adam West - Jul 17, 2008 - 06:59am
I also grew up on the Batman reruns, and have to say that Adam West will always be Batman for me. The way I can tell is that whenever I actually read a Batman comic or graphic novel, the voice I hear in my head "playing" the part of Bats is not Bale, Keaton, Clooney, Kilmer, or even Kevin Conroy - it's always Adam West's voice. It doesn't matter how dark or grim the incarnation of Batman is, West's voice is always there for me.
DVD Shopping Bag: Marvel vs. DC - Jul 16, 2008 - 08:21am
The character of Isis was actually an original creation for the TV show. DC Comics ran the comic-book spin-off, so it's often assumed that Isis was a DC character spun off into a TV series, but it was the other way around. Good call on the syndicated live-action Superboy series, though.
I was also disappointed when Birds of Prey was canceled. It definitely had the potential to develop into a very fun show.
