Yay, 1960's Batman!

Been enjoying the first season Batman DVD set. I've been enjoying it so much, I'm not sure how I'll stand to wait for the next release in February. I'm wondering if sellers will start breaking up complete sets of the series and selling the seasons individually. I guess it's awful, but I'm kind of hoping for that.... I just couldn't afford the complete set, so I have to get the individual seasons. Anyway, judging from the price of the complete set, it's cheaper buying them separate.

I've seen several of the Penguin episodes now, and the first Joker episodes. I remember seeing a couple of the Penguin episodes six years ago, but I only remembered, very vaguely, the last few minutes of the second of those. Best part? Batman and Robin watch Penguin romance a girl. Robin's appalled reaction: "Holy mush!" ROTFLOL!

Tom Kenny's Penguin doesn't sound like Burgess Meredith all the time, but oh my gosh, whenever Burgess gets gravel in his voice, Tom Kenny's Penguin sounds almost exactly like him. I marvel at Tom's imitative abilities.

I liked these Joker episodes better than the other ones I saw. But I've heard the first season ones are a little different than the later ones. Then again, maybe I'll like the later ones better this time, too.

Going to watch some Riddler episodes I haven't seen for six years. Bracing myself for a giggling Riddler, since I prefer him serious. Must always remember that Frank Gorshin made the character popular and serious Riddlers probably wouldn't even exist if not for the character's popularity.

Overall, Penguin is still definitely my favorite in the live-action series.

Man, I need to watch my DVD of season 1. That series is just so fun. I must ask, have you seen Batman:The Movie?

[insaneladybug.livejournal.com]

Yes, you should! It definitely is fun.

If you mean the 1960s movie, I haven't. I'm rather creeped out by the idea of turning people into dust by draining all the water out of them (or whatever the heck was going on). Part of me does want to see it just to see almost all my favorite villains in one place, though.

It's a really fun movie. Honestly, it feels like two movies in one. If you don't like the dehydration part, you can always mostly ignore the second half. The villain shenanigans mostly take place in the first half.

Thanks for the info! I may just try that. :)

Of course! I do it every time I watch it. XD
