Nowadays Adam West is the voice of Mayor West in "Family Guy".
ReplyDeleteAnd he's also the voice of Batman in a new cartoon. Burt Ward and Julie Newmar reprise their roles (Robin and Catwoman) as well.
ReplyDeleteI knew Adam West and Burt Ward did the voices for a Batman cartoon series in the late 1970's, and they played themselves in that lousy made-for-TV movie (IIRC, it was called "Back To the Batcave") sometime around 2003, but I didn't know they played the characters again in live action.
ReplyDeleteWest and Julie Newmar voiced Bruce Wayne's parents in a 2010 episode of Cartoon Network's Batman: The Brave & the Bold (a flashback sequence retelling Batman's origin).
My favorite animated cartoon appearance by West, though, was a 2003 episode of Disney's Kim Possible. He played Timothy North, a retired actor who had gone bonkers and believed himself to be the Fearless Ferret, a superhero that he had played on a 1960's TV show.
West was also offered a cameo role as Bruce Wayne's father in the 1989 Batman movie, but declined as he wanted to play Batman in it. Actually, Back To The Batcave is a masterpiece of entertainment compared to Legends of the Superheroes. I'll keep an eye out for that Disney episode, TC.
ReplyDeleteI got this on tape. The intro was quite good. For about two minutes.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was all mince - intro and all.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I missed this post the first time around. I remember seeing this advertised in TV Guide and one of my friends and I sat through every awful moment of the first episode. I made it about ten minutes into the second one. It was all we had pretty much.....by then Marvel had started doing the Spider-Man series and I think the Hulk series wasn't far behind, then the Captain America/Reb Brown movies. We had to take what we could get back then
ReplyDeleteIndeed, G, but some of what we could get wasn't worth having, unfortunately.
