BATMAN-92-FLOP GOES THE JOKER




























 

BATMAN-92-FLOP GOES THE JOKER

 

Last episode Joker called Robin, Boy Bumpkin and this episode he brings back the “Boy Blunder” and it never gets old. Jane remains in Joker’s con and it’s odd we do not see him with a moll, possibly for the first time. The Bat Fight is a good one and Joker going up and down on the Bat Pole is a novel idea as is the idea that Joker spreads rumors that Batman is afraid of him. The scene where Joker is on the phone and Batman is behind him on another line is funny. During the Bat Fight, the stunt double really does look like Burt as Robin for what is probably the first time. I have to wonder if they have a new stunt man but the older one seems to be there, too! ?  


Joker brandishing a gun in Wayne Manor, threatening Jane is quite…disturbing. He even points it at Aunt Harriet telling her, “One peep out of you and I’ll blow your head off.”  Burt’s problem is noticeable mostly on the art mobile again but his “tights” look realistically not there as if Robin is bare legged again which he is not. Everyone’s doing a great job and the plot is rounded out but not sure why Joker would go to Wayne Manor after his art schemes but for revenge and some loot…of course if Joker could open an art school for rich women…why wouldn’t he just settle for making money that way instead of all these insane criminal plots. He’s crazy?

 

A fun episode again with Bruce worrying that he and Robin have been seen together far too much of late and people would be suspicious….of them being Batman and Robin.

 

Alfred’s paintings are purposely childish and hilarious. He gifts one to O’Hara.

LOST IN SPACE-the two unaired pilots NO PLACE TO HIDE

Image
  NOTE: Since both unaired pilots are inferior to THE RELUCTANT STOWAWAY, THE DERELICT, ISLAND IN THE SKY, THERE WERE GIANTS IN THE EARTH, and THE HUNGRY SEA, I have decided to put both unaired pilots after these five episodes--since these used stock footage from both pilots---as for readers to be able to compare the unaired pilots to the much better versions seen in the episodes. Both pilots are important, however, because they give us some background not given in the aired episodes. There is less development of characters and situations, however in these unaired pilots.      UNAIRED PILOT NUMBER ONE The Jupiter II was originally called the Gemini 12 and could travel at 18412 miles per hour. The TV man commentator is the narrator, not Dick Tufeld. The countdown is started in this story at 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The credits start right away with DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL music. The Robinsons will stay in their suspended animation slumber for 98 years. Alpha Control mentions th

LOST IN SPACE-THERE WERE GIANTS IN THE EARTH

  THERE WERE GIANTS IN THE EARTH TELEPLAY-CAREY WILBUR STORY--SIMON WINCELBERG DIR-LEO PENN MUSIC-HERMAN STEIN, BERNARD HERRMAN   NARRATION: Last week as you REMEMBER, Will had slipped away from the spaceship to try and repair the Chariot, unaware that the renegade Robot, programmed to obey only Dr. Smith's voice orders, was loose in the area.   TEASER-fully recapped   Will is in the Chariot as the camera pans across it. He is cold and not having much success at fixing the land vehicle. He guesses he was wrong about it. "I gotta get back to the ship. What?"   He sees the Robot coming over a hill. He goes out, "I wanna talk to you about the way you ran off."    Robot repeats Smith's orders, "When unessential personnel are found alone, destroy."   He blasts a tree and moves closer to Will. Will climbs up the Chariot, "Go back, do you hear me? Go..go back. Go back." He repeats this several times. Robot fires electric betw

DOCTOR WHO: THE STAR BEAST

  DOCTOR WHO: THE STAR BEAST "I hate that."   Okay, the opening is pure RTD DW and it’s not bad. The one thing I can say that makes Donna look stupid is giving all her money away so her husband can keep working. What a dope. He says it was for charity and who knows if charities are really on the up and up and all that money went where it should go. The humor is again, as in most of RTD, from the circumstances and the character relationships and so far, it doesn’t jar or unbalance the plot or the viewers. Nice start.   Donna is stupid. You can’t help others if you can’t help yourself.   And…yawn. UNIT. UFO news report. Yawn. Boring.   In a few short bursts of dialog, RTD makes it so that we instantly relike Donna, this Doctor, and Sylvia. And through Donna, her husband and Sylvia’s dialog, like this new Rose to boot. He’s a master at getting us to like these characters, creating realistic characters, and at making the dialog natural and realistic. Was I foolish
