Re: Batman Series Discussion *Spoilers*
So.
I just saw an episode of the old 1960s BATMAN.
The first scene was Batman and Robin, each tied to their own... "table" I guess. With two giant magnifying glasses overhead.
During an eclipse.
With time running out, they just manage to move the glasses so that they burn their bonds, setting them free.
Robin exclaims "That was the closest we've ever come! I thought it was curtains for us!" and Batman calmy says, "I was never scared. Haven't you wondered, Robin, why we always manage to escape from the dastardly traps our villains set before us?" (so some such) "Because we're smarter than them?" asks Robin. "No", states Batman, "I've always thought it's because... we're pure of heart."
Then they head to a building where a crime by Catwoman is about to be committed.
Catwoman, for this caper, is stealing two Stratovarian violins from the 102nd floor while dressed as an old lady. She has two cat burglars and a gossip columinist for henchmen.
Batman and Robin pull up to the building in the batmobile. Batman puts money in the parking meter. Robin says no cop would give the batmobile a ticket. Batman explains, "That's not the point, Robin. This money goes to our Building Better Roads program. We all must do our part."
Later, just as the fight's about to break out, Robin exclaims that Catwoman can't get out the building since there's only cops below. They then unveil her getaway rocket. It's got handles and seats and enough room to get all the baddies out. It's bright pink.
And it says "GETAWAY ROCKET" on it.
It was hidden behind some curtains.
On the 102nd floor.
Robin's response to the rocket?
"You won't get away that easy!" "Easily" says Batman. "Good grammar is essential, Robin."
They win, Catwoman tries to escape out the window, but can't keep her balance. She falls, Batman and Robin save her. She goes to prison for 10-20, but might be out in 7 1/2 for good behaviour. But she's upset because she'll be an old lady then. Batman says, "There'll always be someone waiting for someone as beauteous as you." "That's the nicest thing you could've said" weeps Catwoman. She goes up to Batman, as if to kiss him, but instead meows and rubs her head against Batman's cheek and is taken away. Jim Gordon asks if Batman's blushing. Batman says it's the heat.
The End.
That's so good. Batman pays for the Batmobile parking, and corrects Robin's grammar during a fight.
I love it so.
