In a recent interview with Show Biz Spy, CBM big name Ryan Reynolds - who plays Green Lantern next month - opens up about his love for the 1960s Batman TV series, and remembered it especially as he was playing Hal Jordan in the Green Lantern film. From ShowBizSpy.com:

The Hollywood hunk says he used to worship Adam West‘s camp version of the Caped Crusader and couldn’t help but think back to his days as a Bat fan as he pulled on his Green Lantern suit for this summer’s big blockbuster movie.

“I would watch Batman and Robin, with Adam West all the time when I was a kid,” says Ryan. “I loved that stuff. It was all really campy because the technology was never there so It’s a dream come true to play a comic book hero and do the character justice. It’s very special to be part of the comic book world.”

Green Lantern soars into theaters June 17th!
