phoenix240 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Just for fun: Take a Batman villain and re imagine them to suit the campy silver mood of the 60s Adam West Batman TV show while maintaining as much of their back story, personality and general "feel" as you can.

Cassandra Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Huntress could show up as Bruce Wayne's cousin Helena, daughter of his uncle Phillip. Linda "Nova" Harrison could have played her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think Batman: The Brave and the Bold animated series shows what the DC Universe would have looked like in the Adam West's Batman TV Show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix240 Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Huntress could show up as Bruce Wayne's cousin Helena, daughter of his uncle Phillip. Linda "Nova" Harrison could have played her. Oh that reminds me, include what 60s actor/celebrity would have portrayed them if you have an idea.

assault Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 The early Superfriends cartoons reflected a similar sensibility. Also, the Batman and Robin crossovers with Scooby Doo! The big problem is that so many Bat-villains actually appeared on the show. Most of the good ones are therefore taken. Uma Thurman camped up Poison Ivy bigtime, so Ivy could be fair game. But which actress? According to Wikipedia, that's easy. "Creator Robert Kanigher modeled Poison Ivy after Bettie Page, giving her the same haircut and Southern drawl as Page." The only problem could be that Page was in her 40s at the time, but I'm sure she could still have carried the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 How about Killer Croc as a side-show strongman, leading a cohort of similar gimmick carny performers in a robbery spree? E.g. escape artist/master thief, Indian mystic/illusionist, dog-faced "wild boy," trick whip-wielder, etc. As for the actor playing Croc, it could only be legendary '60's monster-man, Ted "Lurch" Cassidy.

steriaca Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Humm...Profesor Pyg is a mad scientist and costumed no-good who based his crimes around animals and higher education (at least colage level crimes...bonus points for including both in his crimes). Instead of "Dollatrons" (which would spook the kids watching at home), his henchmen are like the normal henchmen on the show, but named after animals and wearing animal masks. Oh, and his driver, Mister Toad. I'm stumped for an actor who lived in that time to play the bad profesor and his driver. Any ideals?

steriaca Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Sorry I can't reply normally, but that is the curse of the 3DS. Mister Khan: Your choice of actors are perfect!

drunkonduty Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I do't know who most of the Batman characters are, but the list of actors for the roles is awesome. In fact a re-imagining of the franchise as a Gilligan's Island cross over is really working for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Well, Bat-Villains fall under three catagories in the old tv show. 1) The cannon characters. Joker, Pinguin, Riddler, Catwoman. 2) Characters created to cover for cannon characters who are 'to scary for tv', or to fill in for when Frank Gorson(?) is not available. Thay are King Tut (Two Face), Bookworm (Scaircrow), and The Puzzler (um The Riddler). 3) Characters created for guest stars. Shame, Egghead, Louie the Lilac. Hope this helps.

Mister Khan Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Catman could be used as a sort of evil counterpart to the Batman and rival to Bruce Wayne. And maybe as potential partner for Catwoman. Played by William Shatner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
