It must be nostalgia week for the 1966 Batman TV show, because two of the YouTube channels EB follow have posted original remakes of the classic’s intro.
The first is another homemade rendition courtesy of the CineFix channel. Once again the team was able to faithfully recreate the look and feel of another prominent pop culture show using only their imaginations and a dollar store budget. Their remake of the 1966 Batman TV show intro is spot on, and best of all its merits can be judged using the comparison video to see how it stacks up against the original.
The second fan made intro is from Kyle Roberts, and he took a stop motion approach to the Batman intro. Rather than using real people, he employed the talents of the newly released 1966 Batman toy line to make his homage to the Caped Crusader’s first TV appearance.
EB: Funko has announced that the second wave of Batman Classic TV series Funko Pops are available for pre-order. The second wave includes the Riddler and a Chase variant Riddler, King Tut, Penguin, Mr. Freeze, and Batgirl.
EB: Hey guess what? Funko has announced yet another new line of Funko Pops, and they are the second wave of Classic TV Series Batman Pops. These Pops definitely have an old school look and feel to them, and while we can only see concept art right now they final molds will be very similar.
So glad I got out of collecting these when I did. I spent a ridiculous amount of money on them before I did, tho.
EB: Funko has released a trailer for the next Legion of Collectors box, which is themed as the DC Legacy Box. In the animated trailer the Boy Wonder is in dire straights, but the Batman is ready to come to the rescue.
