To Travel In Time, Perchance

Boy Wonder I Love You

Go here and you can check out Burt Ward's Batman cash-in 45 "Boy Wonder I Love You." The song is pretty much Burt Ward reading a fan letter, with the backing track provided by Zappa (who wrote this) and The Mothers back in June of 1966. 43 years ago.

"Please, Boy Wonder, PLEASE, come next Saturday and sleep for a week or two.

I will feed you breakfast in bed, I will make your bed for you, and I like you so much that I want you to spend the whole summer with me.

(I hope you know this is a girl writing)"

The Bat-Cycle complete with Robin's Sidecar.



~From Wikipedia:

"The Batcycle made its first appearance in 1966 in the Batman TV series. It was a 1965 Harley Davidson with a side car, but it was taken on lease and was only used for the first season episode "Not Yet, He Ain't".

Later that year, a new Batcycle was introduced. It was produced by Kustomotive, conceived by Dan Dempski, designed by Tom Daniel, and built by Dan and Korky Korkes using a Yamaha Catalina 250. It was leased to 20th Century Fox starting on April 18, 1966 for $50 a week with an additional $350 up front. The new Batcycle was first used in the 1966 film Batman and continued to appear in the rest of the TV series. Hubie Kerns and Victor Paul did most of the stunt work with the motorcycle throughout the series. The total amount paid to Kustomotive was $2,500. When the series was cancelled, Kustomotive used the Batcycle in car shows, paying royalties to Greenway, 20th Century Fox, and National Periodical Publications. Kustomotive built four replicas of the Batcycle for tours."

But how bad can they be if they ain't got no damn arms and shoot chalky candy out of their necks?

Holy Gratitude!

A big Bat-thanks to Miss Kaki Carl, for the Shark Repellent Bat-Spray. Nothing says "I care" quite like preventing a shark attack.

Most Harmless Villian, Ever — Part Two.

However, in 1973, Roddy McDowall starred in one of the flat-out scariest movies ever — The Legend Of Hell House.

This thing more than made up for the namby-pamby-ness of Bookworm.

Oh, and there's all that Apes stuff, too.

I know this is only slightly Bat-related. But Roddy rules.
