Holy shit. I just found that Adam West, who famously played Batman in the 1966 TV series, also played millionaire Bruce Wayne. What a talented actor.

And years *later*, he played "Adam West" on "Family Guy"! I wonder if they realized who they were casting for that?

Can you imagine writing that many episodes and having to carefully make sure Bruce Wayne and Batman were never shown in the same scene? Throughout the series entire run, they never talk directly to each other!

Patrick Warburton is pretty much my voice acting hero. Between Brock Samson, Kronk, the Live Action "Tick" series, Joe Swanson, and Hoodwinked's Big Bad Wolf... Every time i watch something new and hear that voice i just get unreasonably happy.

They actually referred to this within the show once, when Aunt Harriet is talking about Bruce and Dick and she says "You two run around just like Bat-Man and Robin!" and Adam West and Burt Ward give each other this little conspiratorial glance. You had to look fast!

Narratively this is interesting because they never shot both characters in the same scene! It's like they wanted to show some sort of parallelism between the characters

Bullshit. I saw Batman and Bruce Wayne on a 3-way phok conversation with Commissioner Gordon on that show. How could one guy play two characters like that at the same time. This is how disinformation spreads. Be more careful with what you post.

My favorite Adam West antidote is that he and Frank Gorshin, who played The Riddler, once got thrown out of an orgy for refusing to break character.

Did you know -- I just learned about this the other day -- it's like a rite of passage if you want to play Batman, you have to show your chops by playing Bruce Wayne. Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, even George Clooney wasn't so big a star he could "skip the line" and not put in the time as Bruce Wayne
