Holy shit. I just found that Adam West, who famously played Batman in the 1966 TV series, also played millionaire Bruce Wayne. What a talented actor.

We were recently asked to send in recommendations for a music playlist at work and someone commented, „You’re old when you can no longer tell which is the artist and which is the song’s title.“

And years *later*, he played "Adam West" on "Family Guy"! I wonder if they realized who they were casting for that?

Can you imagine writing that many episodes and having to carefully make sure Bruce Wayne and Batman were never shown in the same scene? Throughout the series entire run, they never talk directly to each other!

Ah shit I was wrong. On the Internet, no less! Time to become a hermit...

Have you ever seen this phone listing for the actor, Adam West? It's an endless loop.....

Had to make sure this was covered. West actually paying money for this joke kills me.

Adam West just continually dunking on Bill Bixby: "Nice range, motherfucker!"
Avatar
Lol. That's still more range than John Wayne, who played John Wayne in every movie. 😆

They actually referred to this within the show once, when Aunt Harriet is talking about Bruce and Dick and she says "You two run around just like Bat-Man and Robin!" and Adam West and Burt Ward give each other this little conspiratorial glance. You had to look fast!

Bullshit. I saw Batman and Bruce Wayne on a 3-way phok conversation with Commissioner Gordon on that show. How could one guy play two characters like that at the same time. This is how disinformation spreads. Be more careful with what you post.

Phok you autocorrect. Phok you to helt

Wait until you hear what Christopher Reeves once did...

He's a regular Peter Sellers, he is!

wait, but Batman was on a phone call with Bruce Wayne! how'd they have two Adam Wests?
Avatar
I'm hearing double here! Four Adams!
Avatar
Narratively this is interesting because they never shot both characters in the same scene! It's like they wanted to show some sort of parallelism between the characters
Avatar
Wow, those two are such completely different people. Such range.

Some carping critic of the time wrote that West played the two roles with two expression: mask on and mask off. We cognoscenti know better.

Did you know -- I just learned about this the other day -- it's like a rite of passage if you want to play Batman, you have to show your chops by playing Bruce Wayne. Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, even George Clooney wasn't so big a star he could "skip the line" and not put in the time as Bruce Wayne

i thought as the show got more popular they could have like got a seperate actor or something

And Batgirl was Commissioner Gordon’s daughter, but her disguise completely flummoxed him😵‍💫

I find that implausible: The two look completely different.
Avatar
Dunno, the butts match. This is an underrated part of both roles.
Avatar
They could be using the same stunt-butt double for both, to save money.

Skimping on butt doubles, a sad state of the industry.

Wait until I tell you about George Reeves.

Apparently that was a big influence on Michael Keaton.

Lmao! I just saw the word “derogatory.” That “talented actor” part had me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Avatar
Avatar
an absolute amazing talent. and to be able to play the characters so differently. talent, indeed.

🤣😂😂🤣😅🤣😂😂🤣

Hiring one actor to play two different parts in the same TV series seems kinda cheap.
Avatar
Classic cheap Hollywood move, they only had to pay one per diem
Avatar
West was so underrated! I heard that when Affleck played Bruce Wayne, Damon played Batman.🤔😳

Patrick Warburton is pretty much my voice acting hero. Between Brock Samson, Kronk, the Live Action "Tick" series, Joe Swanson, and Hoodwinked's Big Bad Wolf... Every time i watch something new and hear that voice i just get unreasonably happy.
