You have to admire someone wanting to improve their lot in life

A comment on a thread further down the page raised a particularly happy memory of reading Batman growing up. I won't interrupt it with my usual asides, because it doesn't need any. Read it like I did, and enjoy! :)












I LOVE this Headmaster guy (Who I always hear with Sydney Greenstreet's voice, and if you have to ask who HE is, shame on you), and wish he'd stuck around longer, or even returned. His little lecture to the student is great, and his dismissive comment about Bruno is worthy of the Joker!

Then we can have Robin versus Peter "Wilmer the Gunsel" Lorre.

Though of course, they might want to look up what the word "gunsel" really means, because it doesn't mean what the censors reviewing (and most of the public watching) "The Maltese Falcon" assumed it meant.

It gives his character in Maltese Falcon a very different groove, doesn't it? Weird that it got by the censors.
And feyandstrange comment, about Bogie as Batman: nah. Bogie as Two-Face, maybe. Though Betty Bacall as Catwoman would work...
