Why I Love James Lileks, part 449

Referring to the made-for-tv sort-of-kind-of Batman reunion movie that was on over the weekend, James Lileks writes:

“Adam West appears to be utterly mad, and Burt Ward looks like he’s auditioning to play Orson Welles in an all-munchkin production of “The Paul Masson Years.” Frank Gorshin, bless his soul, resembles old fruit at the back of an office refrigerator.”

God that’s good stuff. Utterly mad. I’ve read his book (Adam West’s, although I’ve read 3 of Lileks’) and he may be right. But that’s why I love Adam West – you couldn’t invent someone like him if you tried.
