R2-D2 Projector is Super Swell!

For anyone really interested in Adam West, there was a docu that came out a couple of years ago that covers his entire career up to date: Being Adam West.
Doesn't appear to be on Netflix, but I know I saw it on HBO/Showtime recently, so it's been showing there.

So want to see Adam West reprise his role where the aging crusader must hand over to a young protégé. Call it- Death of Batman. The plot worked well for Anthony Hopkins as Zorro and Antonio Banderas as his Zorro replacement .

It would have been nice to see West in the role of Thomas Wayne. Or even Martha Wayne, for that matter.

He looks a lot like a guy I played Family Feud against many years ago - I defeated him quite soundly.

One thing I never hear mentioned is that West is a huge guy! He must be close to 6'5", and barrel-chested. He's bulked up a bit since his Batman days.

As a kid I worked in a neighborhood grocery store. One day the owner asked me if I'd like to go out on his boat the following day. Never being on a boat before, I jumped for the chance.
The next morning we headed out, got to where we were going and launched the boat. I was having such a good time but not prepared for what was about to happen... just a half mile out from shore I heard the sound of a helicopter in the air above us yelling "action!". I looked up to see where the sound was coming from, and low-and-behold... it was the Batcopter!!!! I turned back to look around the cove we had just left, and there was the Bat Boat with Batman (Adam West) standing on it and a lot of lights around the deck. Holy crap!!!! They were shooting the Batman movie or TV show and I was there! To a young boy who watched Batman at the time, it was indescribable beyond words! It was the best day ever!
Later I discovered that not too far from the grocery store where I worked putting soda pop bottles away and sweeping the floor was the actual mansion they used as the "Wayne Manor". I passed it almost everyday and until I saw a crew filming there one day through the hedges, I never knew I was in the midst of a crime fighting action hero!

I once met Adam (in full Barman gear) at a car show in Tampa Florida back in 1979. I was 19 and stood in line with about 20 five year olds to meet him. One of the greatest days of my life.
