How Keyboard Cat Was Born

Alex

How do you make a viral YouTube video turned Internet meme that's been viewed over 29 million times and spawned hundreds of parodies? First, obtain a cat video (that's right, you don't actually need a real live cat)

Here's the story of how Brad O'Farrell came up with the Keyboard Cat meme, as told by VICE (plus, cameos of a whole bunch of other memes). Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] - Thanks Juliette!

Ah! He's so cute!

BTW, I changed your username from "Joseph Francis 3" to simply "Joseph Francis" (the software had multiple legacy accounts by that name, all of which are yours I believe).

Batman's size varies a lot in the DCAU. I think there is a Bruce Timm interview where he talks about how the character design had to change to fit in with the cast and the role they were expecting him to play.

Early in Batman TAS he was fairly lean. Then he gets bigger when the art style changes and Tim Drake shows up. He and Superman are essentially the same size in the Batman/Superman crossover episodes. Then in Justice League he seems to get smaller (or at least leaner) to be a better counterpoint to a big strong Superman. And Bruce is still quite stocky in Batman Beyond to contrast with a young lean Terry. It's generally hard to get a good feel for his height, because the length of the ears on the cowl change quite a bit.

Well Adam West's tight batman pajamas made clear that very little of that "91kg" was muscle. So the supposed similarity based on weight is misleading. Affleck and Bale are de facto the closest to Batman's comic dimensions, simply because they are the only weight-trained actors to play the character.

That graphic is a little misleading because the size of the heads is not scaled to the axis. It looks like Affleck is a head taller than Christian Bale, for example, when he is only about 10 cm/4 inches taller.
