Adam West Reprises His Role As Batman!!

Umm that's because he DIDN'T. First comment!

thomas wayne wore a "batman" like costume at a costume ball once in bruces childhood. i used to have an issue where this happened, and thieves tried to rob the ball and thomas stopped them as "batman". i don't know if this is where they are getting the story from, but i have seen it in a comic before.

found it. it was the untold legonds of the batman, no.1. this was a three part mini series put out by dc in the early 90's. the first issue starts with bruce recieving a package containing the remains of this costume that was being held in the batcave. it's an interesting series looking at the histories of bruce, dick, and even alfred and how they all came to be. not a bad series, but not nessescarily a must have.

If it isnt from the Untold legends of Bat Man this its from this bullshit.


""Batman R.I.P."" story line.








The bullshit:


During the Batman R.I.P. storyline, accusations are levied against Thomas Wayne. Claims arise that Martha's parents, always unconvinced about Thomas' intentions, hired a detective to prowl around his life. Much later a man claiming to be the detective returns, giving Commissioner Gordon a dossier in which Thomas Wayne is described as living a dual life: a respected and honest doctor in public, a drunk and abusive husband in private, indulging in orgies and drugs, and addicting Martha herself to heroin to get their marriage going, thus becoming able to embezzle her part of the Kane household.


The hired detective then formulates a new theory about Thomas' death: when Thomas discovered that his wife, becoming accustomed to a life of excesses, betrayed him with his butler, no more certain about Bruce Wayne's real parentage, and willing to get revenge over his wife and further hide the secret of his dual life, he used a hired gun to kill her and fake his own death in front of the little Bruce.

Gordon dismisses the final theories, and keeps the dossier private. While speaking to Alfred Pennyworth, Dr. Simon Hurt claims to be Thomas Wayne, even wearing the original Batman costume worn by Thomas Wayne, and accuses Alfred of fathering Bruce, although Alfred dismisses Dr. Hurt's purported identity. In the final issue of Batman R.I.P., Dr Hurt still claims to be Thomas Wayne, the black glove, but Batman refutes Hurt's identity, identifying Hurt as Mangrove Pierce, who has been responsible for nearly every event that has involved the Batmen of All Nations (which partially involves Batman).


As he escapes in a helicopter, Hurt tries to blackmail Batman into serving him by threatening to release pictures and documents showing his parents and Alfred to be perverts and criminals to the worldwide media, but Batman rejects this offer, instead jumping onto the helicopter, bringing it down in an explosion, with neither Hurt or Batman being seen for at least six months after the crash.

@Superman4. No this series is worse than West's take on Batman, At least West had concurent plot and some character development.

HAWK - "...At least West had concurent plot and some character development." West? ADAM WEST? Are you sure we're talking about the same thing? That show in the 60's was as far from having concurrent plot-lines and character development as from here to Saturn!

We need Bruce Timm to do another animated series of Batman. Something like the movie DK and Justice League Unlimited. Not this campy 60's style crap. I admit that I watched it and thought it was the best thing in the world, until Bruce Timm took over and created the batman animated series. Which was good.

I love Adam West but he was in a comedy about Batman, there was nothing serious about it. But if he plays Bruce's dad in the cartoon, that would be awesome. I hope he runs around trying to get rid of a bomb for half an episode! That would be briliant. Those bloody ducks!

Also, Adam rocks in Family Guy. I love him as Mayor Adam West.

"Hey, baby. Want some Adam West penis?"

"Oh god I love this song, and I love it when amateurs sing the lyrics but I hate baseball cards!"

I SAY ZACK SHOULD JUST DO A THING LIKE BURTON DID WITH NIGHTMARE BEFORE XMAS, NOT DOING LIVE ACTION, BUT ANOTHER FORM OF FILM WOULD GARAUNTEE IT BEING MADE SOONER THAN THE APOCALYPSE..MAYBE LIKE THE WAY THEY DID BEOWULF..HE COULD DO IT.

Batman the Animated series was BAD!?!?!? Are you serious Supermike? Who cares if they were stand alone it was for entertainment not to go in depth into Batman's life. The [frick]ing show won Emmys for god sakes. The voice acting was superb, the animation was flawless, and the stories were entertaining.
They were episodes of Batman being Batman. Solving crimes, taking down villians and protecting Gotham. Not every show has to be a repeat origin/development of Bruce Waynes life.

Those shows being a big part of my child hood, you have personaly offended me. Find a cliff and delightfuly trip off of it.

Wow a Emmys They were that bad back then they would accepted horse shit

wow, i find it funny that the people that bash G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra because its not exactly staying true to the source are bashing Batman: Brave and The Bold for sticking to the source

first off gotham knight kicked ass and what the hell superdouche like VenomIsOnMyRibs I grew up watching batman tas and I too am offended. I second that you should find a cliff and delightfuly trip off of it.

They are BRAVE and BOLD lol!

GOTHAM KNIGHT wasn;t the best TEA but it wasn't terrible!

It was still better than most of the MARVEL animated movies that have been out except HULK VS!

SUPERMIKE @ Your still an A$$HOLE!!!

You can gloss sh!t over @ TEABAG @ Look at ACKLES career!!! Heh heh heh! ; D

Teabag, I wanted to also say I agree with you completely about Gotham Knight. That was the only one of the recent wave of DC animated films that I really didn't like. I thought the story was stupid and pointless.

someone say Adam West?

You know I'm one of the only people I know who is a big fan of Batman: Brave and the Bold. I think too many people tried to compare it to "The Animated Series". I love the fun camp feel of it. Its just as honest to the Batman character as the recent Batman films have been. I think the team behind Brave and the Bold has done a good job showcasing lesser known heros and villians, as well as adding in some moments just for the comic book fans.

I flippin loved Gotham Knights! it was brave and bold and extremely artistic. a masterpiece of anime in my opinion.
