Hey folks, Harry here with the latest mind-blowingly PURRfect news that erases all fear of a CATastrophe! 13thDimension.com is claiming to have it solid that Julie Newmar is also aboard for the As Yet To Be Determined format of Animation Feature to celebrate the 50th ANNIVERSARY of the 1966 BATMAN TV show, which was the first dose of BATMANIA the world was infected with! Note that Lee Meriwether who also played CATWOMAN in the classic show is still alive, though sadly, Eartha Kitt is no longer with us. Though an awful lot of folks will never ever ever shake Julie Newmar's Catwoman from their skull, nor should they. Julie Newmar helped define slinky sexy cool with her portrayal... But this does leave me wondering about Yvonne Craig aka BATGIRL, who is still around!
And again, not since I read the script to TOY STORY II, when it was announced to be a DIRECT TO VIDEO sequel and threw a temper tantrum on the site, have I been so convinced that this could be a HUGE Theatrical Opportunity for Warners if they handle it right. The show and these performers have been traveling the world for ages keeping awareness going and keeping fans in love with BATMAN when the Warners struggled to get a feature out the door.
Even my nephew, refers to Adam West as the REAL BATMAN and that was not my doing, but his much younger father and my sister, who was obviously brilliant. Whole new generations of fans are clamoring over how awesome the show looks on Blu Ray and I've heard from Parents across the country that have been showing their NOW ADDICTED CHILDREN the classic show!
Just be sure to have the World Premiere at the same place the '66 BATMAN feature was released, the Paramount Theater in Austin, Tx "Home of the BatBoat!!!" Cmon' it'll be 50 years!!! I wasn't there for the last premiere, but damn tooting I'd kill to be at this one! Outstanding news! Any real lovers of all variations of BATMAN are cheering this news! AWESOME!
