Mark E Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Cooolest news of the day, Adam "Batman" West has been signed along with David Duchovny to do voice work for the game. Sure, it's West, but damn, West rocks . Duchovny may or may not do good voice work . Looking forward to this release... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Exactly why is Adam West cool? You've mentioned reading a book about him before too. I guess I know nothing of the man. (So I ask this in a serious tone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted July 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Adam West is one of the hammiest actors ever. He was Batman in the 60's Batman show that defined camp. I say the cool thing tongue-in-cheek actually, as he is not terribly cool, but he really came to embrace his image as being a hambone actor the last few years and that has made him much more than a washed-up TV star. He made a dynamite appearance on The Simpsons during the Mr. Plow episode and has been in assorted shows such as the Family Guy and so on. His over-the-top line delivery is one of his trademarks. Seriously though, if you have never seen the 60's Batman you truly can't appreciate Adam West. It's just something... mind-blowing. He also did a very memorable episode of Batman: The Animated Series, playing an out-of-work actor who was typecast as a superhero and never worked again, it was one of the series' best episodes and quite touching.

Camp Posted July 14, 2003 Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 He was Batman in the 60's Batman show that defined camp. I had to read that twice before I realized you weren't refering to me. OK...that's pretty much what I was thinking. I just didn't know if maybe he actually was cool for some other reason. He's laughably cool like William Shatner.

Mark E Posted July 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2003 Adam's a bit more into his image as a joke than Shatner is, I think, but yeah, you have the gist of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 I think Shatner's been getting into it a bit more over the past few years too. Either that or he's completely oblivious to what a doofus he can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted July 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Actually, that's probably true. Those credit card commercials he did a little whiel back cannot possibly have been anything but a lampoon of his image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted July 15, 2003 Report Share Posted July 15, 2003 Have you heard his cell phone ring? It's hilarious only because it's so stupid. The guy is like Gene Simmons now, he'll sell anything regardless of how idiotic he looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is like Gene Simmons now, he'll sell anything regardless of how idiotic he looks. And at night he will go home and rest easy, dreaming of all that money in his bank accounts.
