Here it is the second teaser trailer for the third and final Christopher Nolan Batman movie which will be released in the summer next year. The first 6 minutes of the film is being shown this week in BFI IMAX just before screenings of the new Mission Impossible film. I will be seeing this myself on Thursday and will write a post in this blog about it on Friday once i’ve seen it. I know this website is about the classic 1960′s series of Batman but I do respect and enjoy the darker portrayls of the character. So far, in my opinion, it looks like Nolan will complete a perfect film trilogy!
Cliff Robertson, who starred as John F. Kennedy in a 1963 World War II drama and later won an Academy Award for his portrayal of a mentally disabled bakery janitor in the movie “Charly,” died Saturday, one day after his 88th birthday. For us Batman fan’s he played the cowboy villain Shame in the beloved 1960′s television series. He sadly passed away today on the 10th September 2011.
This is the leaked official “Dark Knight Rises” teaser trailer, the film is due for release 20/07/2012 and will be the final film produced by Christopher Nolan, therefore completeing his Batman trilogy. I know my website is dedicated to the “Bright Knight” era of Batman however, I do enjoy and respect the darker perspective to the Batman character.
”Conscious Catwoman” was originally a downloadable e-book from Julie’s website a year or so ago. The book has recently been revamped into an actual book including brand new photo’s. You can pre-order a copy for $14.95 or if you want signed/personalised copy it will cost you $35.00. Also there is a shipping fee of $4.00. If you want the item personalised simply add a “note” in the PayPal checkout webpage. Adam, Burt and Yvonne all have books of there own (if you have not got them, then I seriously suggest you visit their websites and purchase a copy), now Julie has finally released her own accounts of her life.
The “Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Walk of Fame Committee” has announced that Adam West was selected as one of this years honouress. For the official press release visit this website :- http://www.walkoffame.com/pages/news-updates
Also you may have noticed some minor website updates. I have given up on the splash webpage, also the homepage content has been updated! Hope you like the new changes…
“Starring Adam West” is a new documentary currently being produced and is all about the effort being made trying to get Adam West a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Last year his bid to secure a star failed, now a new fresh campaign has been launched for another bid. Recently Adam West was honoured with a star at Palm Springs however, we want Hollywood!
ITV4 have just started to broadcast the tv series on weekdays between 8:50am till 9:55am and 3:00pm till 4:00pm. They are showing two episodes at a time with the morning episodes being a repeat of what was shown the day before between 3 and 4.
ITV4 is a FREE channel, it is avalible on the following channels and providers:
Terrestrial (Freeview) – Channel 24
Freesat – Channel 117
Sky – Channel 120
Virgin Media – Channel 118
UPC Ireland – Channel 136
So this is a perfect chance for everyone to get there own copies of the show. Hopefully they will show all 120 episodes unlike BBC4 who only broadcasted the first two seasons.
The 1966 Batman movie is now avalible to download through the Playstation Store on the PS3 console. You can either rent the movite for £2.49 or keep it permanately on your hard-drive for £6.99 (I would recommend buying it on Blu-Ray instead).
I downloaded the film to rent and have just watched it. This was the first time I have used the PlayStation Store for movie rental and have to say I am impressed. The picture and sound quality was DVD quality with the download only taking around an hour, and could be downloaded in the background.
So if you have a PS3 and wish to watch this great film again and again download it now from the PlayStation store. And do not forget to rate the film after you watched it by clicking to rent/buy the product again on the PS Store and clicking on rate.
Adam West’s latest appearance will be in a new promo advertising “The Price is Right” game application (app) for the IPOD. It was released on 25/3/10. So I assume its already had a few runs on American TV, doubt it will hit the UK screens though!
On Monday 22nd February 2010 Superman’s first comic book became the first comic to sell for $1 million, making it the worlds most prestigious comic. However just three days later on Thursday 25th February, 1939 Dectective comics issue number 27 which features Batman’s first ever appearance sold for $1,075,500 beating Superman’s record!
The previous record was held for a 1938 Superman comic which sold for $317,000 back in 2009.
According to Mr Allen (sales director of Heritage) their have been only a maximum of 200 copies of Dectective Comics No.27 in existance. When it was sold back in 1939 the retail price was 10 cents for the comic, the owner who put his copy up for sale purchased his for $100 during the 1960′s. The comic was rated 8/10 in condition so is in a reasonably mint state.
This has to be fantastic news for any Batman fan, as this is a clear indication that Batman is the most popular and sort after superhero/comic book today.
