Chuck Williams to the rescue — as usual!
Hey, remember how a couple of weeks ago we did a brief history of Italy’s red Batman? And how McFarlane Toys is making a figure based on the look?
Toy News International
Well, of all the weird coincidences, Chuck Williams, the world’s foremost Batman ’66 costume expert and purveyor of precise, screen-accurate replicas, shared a photo of his Adam West regalia… in a red leotard.
So if you want to know how West might have looked as the Really Bright Knight, check this out:
“The first time I put costume pieces on a form, the only leotard I had available was red,” Chuck said of the years-old pic. “It’s a bold look!”
That it is.
Perish the thought, but maybe Bob Kane was right after all?
