BATMAN and LORENZO SEMPLE JR.!

Love this pic of Adam West as BATMAN!  This is a still from the sensational Bat-TV series pilot, that was written by Lorenzo Semple Jr.  The two-part pilot, "Hi Diddle Riddle" / "Smack in the Middle", featured Frank Gorshin as The Riddler!  Mr. Semple passed away today at the age of 91. 

BAT-FIGURES!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE RIDDLER!

The late, great FRANK GORSHIN would have been 80 years old today. He signed the above pic for me at a 1991 Batman TV show convention in Chicago.  Below is a pic of Mr. Gorshin and I at that convention.8^)

Love these Italian movie posters for the 1966 feature film, BATMAN! Each poster measures 19x28 and, I understand, are very rare.
