Why haven't we named a bridge or something after this guy?


Barbra Streisand gets that Kennedy Center thing and george waGGner gets nothing? What the hell?

george waGGner -- yes, that's spelled right -- was one of the main Batman directors. He also directed, and in some cases wrote, the following:

Man Made Monster (1941)
The Wolf Man (1941)
The Ghost Of Frankenstein (1942)
Invisible Agent (1942)
The Phantom Of The Opera (1943)
The Climax (1944)
The Fighting Kentuckian (1949)
Operation Pacific (1951)
Red Nightmare aka The Commies Are Coming, The Commies Are Coming (1957)

It's all good stuff. As for the photo, that's not waGGner. It's Vincent Price as Egghead in one of waGGner's episodes. (And yes, Price deserves his own bridge, too.)
