Dancing With Batman!
Page Six reports that 80-year-old pepaw Adam West might join the next cast of "Dancing with the Has-Beens." A source said, "Adam is in outstanding shape. He works out an hour a day and walks with his big dog on his farm in Sun Valley, Idaho." Walks with big dog on farm? Is that code for something I should know about? It sounds sort of sexy.
Adam's rep would not say that nothing is definite. The entire cast will be announced on August 25th. Just add the OG Batman to the long list of skanks who are rumored to be joining the cast. They include Chloris Leachman, Lance Bass, Toni Braxton, Jewel, Ty Murray and Florence Henderson.
Adam, Chloris and Florence are too good for that shit! They should be doing a sitcom together or starring in Werther's Originals commercials. But if Adam insists on doing the show, this should be his opening number:
VIA SOW
Miss Adam - a well-known homosexual - used to be hot but now that she is so old and fugly.....who cares?!
LOL. Did you see that guy's face after Batman punched out his two henchmen? he he. Not so amusing now is it?
Holy baby shit Batman, I didn't even know Adam was still with us.

Cloris Leachman has an Academy award, you Philistines! Sure, she won it nearly 40 years ago, but it still counts.
CL is like the female version of Abe Vigoda -- someone who's been playing "old person" parts for so long that you're surprised to learn they're still alive.
----------------------------
No kidding--that's what Mel Brooks did with her.

Don't forget Vincent Price as Egghead!

For some reason, they were able to get some seriously successful actors to play the villains on Batman. We just didn't know it because we were kids. But - Frank Gorshin, Cesar Romero, Eartha Kitt, Julie Newmar, Tallulah Bankhead, Roddy MacDowell, even Liberace!

I loved the Batman show! I used to watch it in spanish in Vene. lol
Sweet Italian Jesus! The guy who says "Dance for me you slaves!" appeared in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" if I am not mistaken. He was the piano man Bette Davis hired to help relaunch her singing career. I think.
I guess it doesn't matter anyway.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are correct, and that would be Victor Buono. He played King Tut.

I fucking adored Batman. That show was the shit, and I watched it constantly. POW! ZAP! WHAM! The theme song also kicked ass. Not to mention the guest villans. Go for it, Batgramp!

Ahhhh, noooo!!! Batman is not supposed to dance!!!
He is my favorite. Just saw his personals ID on millionaires personals site """C e l e b C u p i d.c o m"""""" yesterday. I am wondering what kind of relationship he is looking for on ~that site.
Frau Blucher on DWTS? I think I just might have to watch.

More impressive than whipping out the shark repellant (and never losing his grip on the ladder as he was dangling under the bat-copter) was the fact that the shark didn't even put a snag in his bat hosiery. I want stockings with that kind of resistance to runs! If Batman had it forty years ago, why can't I get it today? Hmm?
Wow Batman with dancing numbers...me loves it!
Your face!
If that's the cast, they'd better have a full-time medical staff and two ambulances parked outside, engines running. I'd still bet half of them don't make it to the finals alive.
I LOVE Adam West! He's the BEST! Ha ha.. Ok, I wasn't planning on rhyming... But I adore the old guy, such a funny weirdo. Him and Christopher Walken are my two favorite old fogies.
Holy Trip, Batman - remind me to watch that show next time I drop acid!
You KNOW he's got the bat-breath though....
HOLY Geriatric Batusi !
I think it would be great for Adam West to be on Dancin With The Has Beens! Batman was one of the best TV shows ever made!
God , what a hero , a true survivor in a town that loves to bury people alive way before their time.
They said he would never work again and didnt for a long time after Batman , but Mr. West is living proof that if you stay around long enough , you WIN.
My friend saw him @ a comic book convention years ago and he opened the show with "Its Great to be here, Its GREAT to be ANYwhere!"
Since the campy kooky Warholian pop art psychedelic 60s TV show will never be made into a feature film, could they at least do it on the small TV screen and NOT fuck it up ? I doubt it, but its fun to think about . the casting would be as follows:
Patrick Dempsey as Batman
Mario Lopez as Robin The Boy Wonder
James Lipton as Alfred the butler
Steve-O as The Riddler
Jason Alexander as The Penguin
Michael Jackson as The Joker (no makeup required)
Phoebe Price as Batgirl or Poison Ivy
Steve Wilkos as Mr. Freeze
Shauna Sand and or New York as Catwoman
Roseanne Barr as Ma Parker (only person close to Shelly Winters & she played R.s grandma)
Judge Judy as Comissioner Gordon
Colin Farrell as Chief O"Hara
Kathleen Turner as Black Widow
Rip Taylor as The Mad Hatter
Joan Collins reprising her role as The Siren
Kyle McClaughlin & Elizabeth Berkley as Shame & Oakley Annie
John Goodman as King Tut
(that was Victor Buono in the youtube clip BTW)
Oh what a casting wet dream it is , I could be here for days on this one.
Wow I hope Im even ALIVE @ 80 much less able to get up and split my depends dancing around on a stage.
Rock on Adam West!
Viva BATMAN 1966!

I love Adam West. He puts the "Bat" in "bat-shit crazy old man"...
Watch one of the other clips callled "Batman - Dance". It's the one where they spike Batman's orange juice at the go-go bar and he dances with Jill St. John. Classic grooviness.
That clip was pretty fucking funny

Oh noes, Adam is looking like Clay Gayken's dad in that first pic. My eyesssss!
A picture of Adam West from his younger years is in the dictionary next to the definition of "suave".
I freaking loved Batman the TV show when I was a kid. WHYY is it not on DVD yet? The 1966 movie is on DVD(the audio commentary by Adam and Burt is pretty damn funny).
He has such a great sense of humor. I might even watch that show if he's on it.

I wish his "Family Guy" money was enough, so he wouldn't have to humiliate himself this way...

Hell yeah, that hot shit needs to be his opening number! Priceless!
That opening scene from the 1960s Batman movie where Batman and Robin fight off the explosive shark with an aerosol can of shark repellent -- all the while dangling from the batcopter -- is the single greatest moment in cinematic history, with the possible exception of when Humphrey Bogart told Peter Lorre that when he's slapped he should enjoy it.

I remember seeing an Old batman episode on some shitty basic cable channel and the whole episode was about toy rats strapped with bombs and he blows on the flute and they fall into the ocean.. seriously, the best 30 minutes of my life.. I was glued to the screen..Random question here: Does anyone else get turned on by drinking coffee? Just wonderin' (cough)
MK, you didn't have to add the clip. We all know you threw a sexy party the other night.
He is my favorite. Just saw his personals ID on millionaires personals site """""""""C e l e b C u p i d.c o m""""""""""" yesterday. I am wondering what kind of relationship he is looking for on that site.

I was subjected to this as a child; looking at it now it's hysterically cheesy. The 60's were so weird.
James Haven was asked to be on the show but they decided they wanted to go with a "well known" cast. Well known?!! What kind to crap is that? James Haven is well known. Who is Cloris Leachman? Sounds like a disease (no disrespect to Cloris) but "James Haven" has a nice ring to it. Flows off the tongue and lingers in the air. It doesn't fall flat like "Adam West" which is exactly what Adam will do when he gets on that slippery dance floor!

See James Haven in an Oscar winning performance!

I'm too lazy to read through the comments, but does my monitor deceive me or does Batman have a mullet???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Surely my monitor deceives me! Batman can't have a mullet...
Although, a white trash batman would be AWESOME! Billy Bob as batman, but instead of Angelina Jolie as cat woman, no...it's Shitney, bitch...Imagine the litter box times! Oh, this is golden...I'm on to something....Billy Ray Cyrus must be in it as well (and yes of course with his original mullet!)
**********************************
Sorry, Roger, you are tiger now...
Hey, I learned a lot from Batman when I was a kid. For instance, I never, ever go to the beach without a can of shark repellant on my utility belt.
Is Lance Bass going to dance with a guy or a girl? What about Adam West, is he going to dance with Robin?

Cloris Leachman is the coolest thing about this news...that dame is funny! (Check your spelling, MK, you're thinking of Chlorine or Chlamydia, not Cloris, LOL!)
I love Chloris but why the shit does she have to have a name that makes me want to gargle?
