D'ya know. Embarrassing admission. When the teaser posters for the Batman films first came out I really, really thought it was about a then-being-rumoured Stones concert and that we were looking down towards Mick Jagger's tonsils. Don't laugh.  |

Mart, I can`t bear to think of you missing out, so ...  I bet the 60s one was better though. This one says it`s a Batmobile but it doesn`t look very Bat like ....  |

It's interesting to compare Batman with the original Startrek which was made around the same time. Both appear to promote the American dream, values and way of life. Eg in Startrek all the poor aliens who think that they can survive without competition, love, etc are soon shown the errors of their ways - in the case of love, usually by falling for and being kissed by Captain Kirk (female aliens only, of course).  Batman, too, seems to promote American values: eg in the Joker episode last week, Batman is very worried by the kids at the High School receiving lots of money instead of a carton of milk when they put a coin into the machine in the gym - this is bound to cause them to think that it's possible to get something for nothing and so become dropouts! This is so ludicrous that it's difficult to believe that the writers weren't deliberately subverting the American dream. The following picture has destroyed all my illusions about Batman and Robin scaling tall buildings   |

Poor chap doesn`t appear to have had nipples when he first appeared. Mind you, he was a lot younger then ....
I'm trying really hard to remember how old I was when I grew my nipples.  You always have them. It's where they broke your parts off the plastic frame before gluing you together (they're supposed to file those bits off but it's always more exciting to get to the gluing part). |

Sounds like an Heirfix job to me, IRF. |

Great bit in yesterday's Batman when the Dynamic Duo have used the Batbeam to open a lock which then explodes. Robin: You were right, Batman, we might have been killed. Batman: Or worse. I was waiting for Catwoman to ask her henchmen to stroke her pussy but the closest she got was her pussywillows. |

I was waiting for Catwoman to ask her henchmen to stroke her pussy but the closest she got was her pussywillows. I think you must have been thinking of Molly Sugden, Andy   The 60s TV series was my very first TV passion (as in if the 60s me were to miss an episode my world will end). I would have killed to have a driveable pedal-car version of this, which was stocked at the local toyshop but beyond the purse of my 60s parents (and beyond their moral line in the sand anyway)
Yes, but did you at least get one of these, Martle? The absolute sine qua non for all nine-year-olds at the time, even if the backwards-firing missiles were all lost within ten minutes of the box being opened....  PS we are not at home to persons making jokes about "five inches of danger", a phrase which evoked only childish wonder in 1969... |

Mart, you lost the "backwards firing missile within 10 minutes" etc., didn`t you? So did my nephew. We never did find it  That was Christmas day down the pan. He`s never recovered ....  |

This certainly brings back memories - in fact I think mine is still in a box at my parents' place. And, yes, I did lose the backwards-firing missiles in five minutes flat.  Anyone else have one of these?  Now apparently extremely valuable, and equipped with a rubber-tipped missile that would fly across the room with amazing force and wonderful adult-annoyance potential. |

A friends of mine said that she heard Burt Ward (Robin) being interviewed and he said that he had to be strapped so that he didn't bulge too much in his tights!  It seemed to work |
