Last week I brought you an early Superman cartoon, this week I present the first installment of the first live-action Batman film, chapter one of the 1943 serial. Unlike Superman, Batman didn’t have a radio show or a classic cartoon until Filmation came along in the sixties (and Filmation and Fleischer are two entirely different breeds.) However, each spawned a pair of movie serials. Sit back and enjoy Batman’s ornate crime-fighting desk and the lack of attention Batman and Robin pay to their secret identities.
This the first of two serial starring Batman and Robin.
Allan Keyes burst into the offices of The Editor’s and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride demanding we run this special middle of the week quick hit. Having nothing else scheduled for today they gratefully accepted.
You what always pissed me off about the original Star Wars? That there’s this one fat X-Wing pilot with the bad double chin and or course he’s named PORKins .
Get it? A fat guy named PORKY. HA. HA. HA.
Boy that George Lucas sure is a wit. He’d be right at home at the Algonquin Round Table (whatever that was. I assume that’s where King Algonquin sat with his knights)
Ever wonder what Lucas would’ve called the pilot if he was black? Either way, I’m pretty sure Star Wars would never have been able to get past the NAACP….
