There was a time when Batman was funny...
Dear TomHa,
The Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, people had called him names that are made him more scary than funny. No, I am not going to talk about the Batman Begins film. Ihaven't watch it yet. I am going to talk about the Batman of the past when the theme of Batman, the Da da da da da da da da signals the arrival of Batman and Robin. Yes, I am talking about the Batman movie of the 50s or 60s.

Cheesy lines, lousy costumes, so that is what people of the past watch in the theatres. For a good laugh at the Dark Knight and Boy Wonder. When the batmobile can have tyre puncture and Batman giving out lame lines like "I think we better stop and check!" When Bruce Wayne asks Dick Grayson lame jokes like what kiind of people are forever in a rush, "Russians", when their Batcopter crashed inexplicably luckily into a pile of foam rubber which happened to be in exhibition on a busy road, when Robin dishes out funny one-liners like "What should we do? Hail a cab?" and Batman dishing a more powerful one-liner like "Luckily we are in tip-top condition, it's better we run.." You know you are in for a treat. Haha.. this is every bit a superhero comedy whereby Robin runs around in his swimming trunks.

Another thing, why does the Human Torch looks so much like Ironman from afar?
