Remembering Batman and Robin Duo Batman and Robin call up numerous associations—different ones for different people of different ages, genders, and mindsets. Batman and Robin, that is, didn’t always inspire such sardonic satire as that of Saturday Night Live’s “Notoriously Gay Duo” animation or such innocent hero worship as the Batman or Robin costume and mask that little kids still wear for Halloween…forty years after the original dynamic duo did their stunts on TV every night right before dinner. For some, the original Batman series is unparalleled for its colorful and clever and cutting-edge elements, its first-time ever used comic book “sounds” (Bam! Zonk! Kapow!), its serialized nature (playing on the old radio shows, etc.), its stellar star lineup. My brother was riveted to the TV in those first years, watching The great Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt as Catwomen, Egghead, Mr. Freeze, and the Penguin try to out-wit the witty, out-do the duo. I watched less faithfully, but always, always stayed in the room for the bookworm and the Riddler, my absolute favorites. (I was intrigued by the contraptions the Bookworm, Roddy McDowall, had for reading—despite how he also made time for crime; I was fascinated by Frank Gorshin’s hideous hyena giggling, his derisive and mocking laughter, his adept activities, his green bodysuit with the question marks, and, of course, his clever yet felonious riddles.) Batman Costume still is the crowd's favorite. If you feel like saving the city during the Halloween night, Dark Knight Batman Costume is for you. Now, If your date is looking for a Halloween costume, but she doesn't feel like dressing like Catwoman? She might like a Spider-Girl Costume. |
