It's impossible to separate Warner Bros.' latest DC animated movie from the fact that it features Adam West in his final outing as Batman. West's tragic death just four months ago saddened fans everywhere. And while the movie can most certainly stand on its own, beyond serving as a fitting tribute, it excels in bringing us the '60s Batman at his very best.
Batman '66 aesthetic is burned into the very fabric of pop culture -- bright lights, bold colours, biffs, boffs and kapows. But these recently resurfaced pieces of production art go behind the scenes in seeing how that aesthetic was eventually brought to life.
Cesar Romero's take on the Joker for the Batman '66 TV show is iconic -- but the very obvious moustache he refused to shave for the role, barely obscured with white face paint, is almost as famous as he is. Thankfully, Hot Toys remembered this crucial detail when bringing Romero's Joker to action figure life.
