0:54
it you like it that's good now this next
0:57
one I got to say out of all of them I
0:59
feel the most diffult about you're going
1:01
to find this one
1:02
challenging not me I got it already my
1:06
my favorite super well my favorite
1:08
superhero is Batman I like Batman the
1:10
most out of any superhero I like the
1:12
fact that bat we're going over not
1:14
Batman but everybody that's played
1:16
Batman yeah we should probably slow down
1:18
there R gear down there big RI oh gosh
1:20
all right all right no I don't mean that
1:21
I meant now you're talking I understand
1:23
I understand the topic I get it we got
1:25
to tell them we got to tell the audience
1:26
what we're doing here I guess they read
1:27
the iTunes speaking of which iTunes
1:29
subsscribe and raate us on iTunes Bat
1:30
Man subscribe and rate US on Apple
1:33
podcast by the way is what it's called
1:34
now oh Apple podcast I know formally
1:37
known as iTunes so now it's just going
1:39
to take longer to explain Apple podcast
1:41
forly known as iTunes yeah Batman I love
1:43
Batman I've always been a huge Batman
1:45
fan so today's topic is the actors that
1:47
have played the role throughout the
1:48
years through film and television I
1:50
presume yeah yeah I like Batman the same
1:52
reason I like jam Miss Bond just you
1:54
know quote unquote regular like just a
1:56
human being with no superpowers but yet
1:58
they're still a superhero that's right
2:00
absolutely I like it the Batman's good
2:03
because he there's that new trailer for
2:05
the dawn of Justice movie that's coming
2:07
out I haven't seen it there's a line in
2:09
it I hope you don't mind me saying it's
2:10
just a little throwaway line The Flash
2:13
asks Batman what's your superpower and
2:16
his response was I'm
2:19
rich so it's good yeah here we go rub
2:23
this is interesting there's some names
2:24
here that I'm not familiar with so well
2:27
yeah let's start with the beginning here
2:29
the first person that we have record of
2:31
playing Batman we have record of is
2:34
there like actors that have I don't know
2:36
come and gone and they don't uh perhaps
2:39
all right all right do you want to say
2:41
who this guy is LS G Wilson so Wilson
2:44
was the first and youngest actor to ever
2:47
play the adult Batman mhm and also the
2:51
least successful that's probably why we
2:53
don't know who he is wow so he was on
2:56
the Columbia seral Batman 15 parts cial
3:00
in
3:01
1943 he good looking guy oh was he yeah
3:03
yeah how's he now I think he's dead okay
3:07
yeah he died in 2000 died 17 years ago
3:09
maybe rest in peace Gone Too Soon yeah
3:11
so after
3:13
Batman Wilson's career went nowhere o
3:16
he's only 23 poor guy my career's gone
3:19
nowhere that's
3:22
true okay let's move ahead yeah I'm just
3:24
yeah this is interesting uh one critic
3:26
described Wilson as thick about the
3:28
middle what that well he wasn't he
3:31
wasn't physique oh more more uh more
3:35
penguin than uh was he really I don't
3:37
know he's were you joking about him
3:39
being handsome no a handsome guy he just
3:42
had a bit of a dad B
3:44
sure all right so Robert
3:47
Lori we're going to sequential order
3:49
here I think is what it is okay all this
3:51
is not the worst of the best uh Robert
3:54
Lori took over the role in the follow-up
3:56
seral in 1949's Batman and Robin
4:00
so unlike Lewis though Lori was 36 at
4:03
the time and was a veteran actor having
4:04
already appeared in the mark of Zoro
4:06
good one the mummy's ghost fantastic and
4:09
dangerous passage I loved it he also
4:12
filled out the bat suit better than LS
4:14
with his utility belt hanging where you
4:16
would expect it out a
4:19
non Terian what basically I guess in the
4:23
40s people wore the pants a little
4:25
higher and so his utility belt was
4:28
probably like a good in above the belly
4:30
button or this one's more around the
4:32
hips so he was wearing his utility belt
4:35
where you would suspect a belt to be
4:37
worn yeah he around his waist Lou G
4:40
Wilson was more of a high pants
4:43
guy I got to get pictures of this LS G
4:46
Wilson wearing the utility belt around
4:48
his
4:49
nipples hey just a side note we just so
4:53
people know right now we're on a ferry
4:54
boat oh yeah we're on a road trip R
4:56
we're on a road trip we're going to go
4:57
see Metallica their uh ban from uh San
5:00
Francisco America that's right yeah you
5:04
might have heard of this band there's a
5:05
small band called Metallica yeah there's
5:06
only four of them there's been they've
5:08
been around since uh 1982 so I hope they
5:12
hit a big one day I hope they get their
5:13
big break yeah all right so Lori so now
5:16
we're probably into the little bit of
5:17
the territory where people will be like
5:19
oh yeah I know the name so Adam West
5:22
seen every episode I was late one summer
5:25
for summer school every day I had to
5:28
catch the bus that would make me late
5:29
for summer school so I could finish
5:31
watching Batman it was worth it Adam
5:33
West is Batman loved it loved it I
5:35
believed him as Batman I love the pals I
5:38
I like Meredith Burgess in the series
5:41
yeah is a
5:44
penguin is that what he did yeah
5:46
something like that
5:48
[Music]
5:50
yeah it's bad there wasn't like a
5:52
crossover episode of the penguin getting
5:55
um boxing advice to Rocky yeah I wish
5:57
there was a podcast out there about
5:58
Rocky all right Adam West may he rest
6:01
may he West in
6:02
peace too soon too
6:07
soon well my favorite thing about Adam
6:09
West is you remember when Michael Keaton
6:12
who by the way is the next Batman so
6:14
Michael Keaton yes when Michael keing
6:16
got the role Adam West was Furious that
6:19
he was not chosen get out of here oh
6:22
know he was I remember W he had like a
6:24
few CT words well listen this Batman the
6:28
series that Adam West starred in went
6:30
off the air in 1968 uhhuh 21 years later
6:36
was the Batman movie with Michael Keaton
6:38
and Tim Burton y you're
6:40
trying please come on that's silliness
6:43
though he was like
6:46
65 sometimes people are stubborn even if
6:51
they're hurt in their 60s all right well
6:53
Michael Keaton I loved Michael Keaton as
6:56
Batman I remember when Michael Keaton
6:58
was cast as Batman man in 1988 or
7:01
whatever when we heard the news that he
7:02
was Cass as Batman I knew him for Mr Mom
7:05
M you know I can't think of the other
7:07
films my be juice so I knew I knew who
7:10
he was and I thought oh really this
7:12
isn't like being a fan of like Stallone
7:15
or Schwarz snagger Bruce Willis action
7:17
Stars I remember as a teenager thinking
7:20
why in the world would Michael Keaton be
7:22
a Batman but I was wrong he did a great
7:25
great great great great job he did and
7:27
I've kind of lost favor with Michael
7:29
Keaton over the years since then kind of
7:31
fell out of Vogue and I didn't really
7:33
see him as an actor I saw him as Batman
7:35
for a while that's too bad but lately I
7:38
just saw the founder with him yeah I've
7:40
seen that fantastic I saw him in the new
7:42
Spider-Man movie he was really good in
7:44
it oh was he yeah yeah he was he truly
7:46
was oh wow um I didn't see Birdman I
7:48
seen it I stopped watching it not
7:51

7:53
know fell asleep or whatever I just
7:55
never went back to it yeah what does
7:57

8:11
so go the distance we got 4 minutes left
8:14

8:17
batter okay so number five V Kilmer took
8:21
over uh Michael Michael ke lik B Kilmer
8:25
but I did not like him as Batman I knew
8:26
it wasn't as good well we took over the
8:28
rooll for Michael Keen when when Tim
8:30
burn and Keon couldn't come to terms
8:31
with the studio or whatever it was and
8:34
uh Vel Kilmer took over as the role and
8:36
Joel shoem marer directed that one Jim
8:39
Carrey as a
8:40
riddler George cloney the sixth actor to
8:43
play Batman Joel SCH Shu mocker
8:46
continued to be the uh director he did
8:49
and this was Batman and Robin and this
8:51
was with Arnold schweger as Mr Freeze
8:54
yeah um George clunia I was it was a
8:57
terrible movie bat nipples was a
8:59
terrible movie movie so the Batman
9:01
franchise seemed to be like in dire
9:03
straights so to speak and Along came a
9:05
man called Christopher Nolan and another
9:08
man called Christian Bale loved it and
9:11
they created The Batman
9:12
Trilogy that we all know and love today
9:15
Batman Begins The Dark Knight and the
9:17
Dark Knight Returns I believe that's
9:18
what they're called yeah the the dark KN
9:20
dark KN Rises sorry the last one the
9:23
opening scene with Bane on the plane
9:25
Bane on the plane gosh train Banes and
9:28
Automobiles it was amazing like that
9:30
just scene alone is better than most
9:32
movies could ever hope to
9:35
be it's incredible and lastly we have
9:38
batle sorry Ben Affleck he's the current
9:42
Batman actor so he's in the new one yeah
9:45
he's in Justice League okay I didn't see
9:47
Batman versus Superman oh really I had
9:50
nothing against it I it's just one of
9:52
those movies that just kind of slips
9:53
through your fingers it's maligned and
9:54
and not liked by a lot of people but
9:56
it's a divided movie I'm one of the
9:58
people that I liked it I actually I
10:00
liked it I heard it was uh Ben Affleck's
10:03
most successful movie though yeah it was
10:05
it did very well at the box office and
10:06
he even the people that don't like the
10:08
movie said he was the best part oh
10:10
interesting yeah so because I like
10:13
Harvey what's his name the Superman guy
10:16
yeah uh Henry cavil or yeah yeah yeah
10:19
yeah all right so there you go those are
10:22
Batmans we got one minute left ribon I I
10:24
can't weigh in on Ben ala cuz I haven't
10:26
seen him as Batman be Min I can't weigh
10:28
in on will G Wilson cuz I haven't seen
10:30
him that I know of and Robert Lowry I
10:32
don't know him yeah those are two
10:33
throwaways we got the kind of throw away
10:34
the L LS Wilson Robert Lorry I'm sure
10:37
they did your typical
10:38
1950s serial type acting so it starts
10:42
with Adam West Ruben to Ben Affleck but
10:44
you haven't seen Ben Affleck I prefer
10:46
Adam West as Batman over George Clooney
10:50
as Batman so who's your worst Batman
10:53
that means George Clooney is the worst
10:54
George Clooney you are the worst Batman
10:57
yeah George Clooney you were a victim of
10:58
a terrible movie uh terrible storyline
11:02
and it was I know you you hat it
11:04
yourself so no offense to you you are
11:05
the worst actor to play Batman he'll do
11:08
okay he he's doing fine hey we got to go
11:11
this is going to be kind of like a mini
11:12
so because our battery on the camera is
