Not being from USA I had no concept about what kinda movie it was gonna be. I also think it was the first Batman movie I saw. So at the first I was kinda confused about weather or not it was a comedy because while it wasn't funny it clearly wasn't serious either.

It's also really boring. I really struggled with getting through it.

I love the movie. I grabbed the complete TV show DVDs and those took me a while to get through. The first season was kinda rough and watching them in huge chunks was too much. It was much better when I would only see 2-3 episodes while playing in my aunt's basement on Sundays as a 9 year old. Or by watching a random episode here and there.

Batman shifted in tone and stopped shooting people way before the Comics Code.
It took less than a year to introduce Robin and soften up Batman.

LOL, gently caress, my memory of it was much cooler than that! It would be a funny callback in the comics if they used that, though, doofy octopus and lumpy planet and all.

I love the insanity of golden age comics. It reminds me of computer games from the '80's where you'd have very little between the consumer and someone's crazed fever dream of a magnus opus.

Important to point out tuition grew much much faster than inflation. UC Berkeley, I think, is the most expensive public college in the country and was free up until Ronald Reagan became governor of California.

What a thankless job that writer had to try to rehabilitate Puck into someone unique and interesting. Maybe the next big MCU thing will be Alpha Flight and vindicate all that continuity.

People would call it a Hydra parody.

And... they might be right? Hydra had basically just turned up in Marvel at the time of that movie (Hydra turn up in 1965, the Batman movie in 66); I'm not sure if they had a logo that resembled that at the time, though.

Puck does the "Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials for Dos Equis. The difference is that everything in Puck's commercials actually happened.

This was my first reaction to Batman 66 because I'd only seen clips out of context. Once I saw a whole scene I quickly realized it was on purpose.

It is absolutely insane that Puck is one of my favourite parts of Ewings' Immortal Hulk. He has never once been played as anything less than the most competent man in the room.

Really. The guy can take on the properties of anything he touches and this dwarf visibly frightens him. It's like the end of the SNL sketch with the game show "Who's More Grizzled?" but with badassitude.
