Jared’s Mailbox: Vintage Batman + Robin Postcard

I recently received this postcard from the mail. It was my Tita Jinky who swapped this for me because she knows that I love Batman, yes, including the old version. This one is from the Batman TV series that featured Adam West as our favorite caped crusader.

This is what Wiki has to say about Batman TV series:

Batman is a 1960s American live action television series, based on the DC comic book character of the same name. It stars Adam West as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Burt Ward as Dick Grayson / Robin ~ two crime-fighting heroes who defend Gotham City from a variety of arch villains. It is known for its camp style, upbeat theme music, and its intentionally humorous, simplistic morality {aimed at its largely teenage audience}. This included championing the importance of using seat belts, doing homework, eating vegetables, and drinking milk. It was described by executive producer William Dozier as the only situation comedy on the air without a laugh track. The 120 episodes aired on the ABC network for three seasons from January 12, 1966 to March 14, 1968, twice weekly for the first two and weekly for the third. In 2016, television critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked Batman as the 82nd greatest American television show of all time.

I have yet to see this series but mum said she used to watch it when she was younger when it was aired in a local channel. Although I prefer the modern Bat-suit and the modern actors who portrayed this superhero, I do believe that Adam West did a great job and he was a cool Batman. I also enjoy seeing his Lego version in the Lego Batman Movie game.

This is an awesome superhero postcard + I love having this in my collection. My mum has build up my collection over the years + she plans to add some more this year as she re-activates our postcrossing.com profiles so we can send and received more cards. She hopes to have me write my own cards for sending. I guess we will see if I am up to the task. 🙂

So, do you love Batman + are you also into postcrossing?

Are You Excited About The Lego Batman Movie?

announcement, movies, my favorite things, Batman, superheroes

I absolutely loved The Lego Movie shown in 2014, that is why I was very excited when I found out about The Lego Batman movie! Batman is one of my favorite DC superheroes {I’ve watched his Lego short films many times + love playing his Lego games, too!} and it will be a treat to see him on the big screen with mum + dad.

The Lego Batman Movie is hitting local cinemas on 09 February and will feature Will Arnett {who also voiced our caped hero in the first Lego film} as the voice of our favorite Gotham City son, Bruce Wayne, + the caped crusader, Batman. The story will be all about Batman going “on a personal journey to find himself and learn the importance of teamwork and friendship in the hopes of saving Gotham City from a hostile takeover set by The Joker” according to Wikipedia. The film will also feature the voices of Jonah Hill {Green Lantern} + mum’s fave, Ralph Fiennes as our favorite butler, Alfred.

This sure will be an exciting film + I cannot wait to see the bat dude battle his archenemy, The Joker. Are you excited, too! Will have mum check local cinema times for this film after she’s reading about this interesting website, http://www.guitarcenter.com/Toontrack/.
