    Cool! I still have my childhood Batman alarm clock, which I coveted in Lee's Drugs display case for what seemed like years before I finally got it for Christmas one year. It no longer talks, but I vaguely recall some of the dialog.

    Robin: "Time to get up and out of bed"

    Batman: "Good job Robin! Very well said."


    EDITED TO ADD:

    I just saw that other link for a video of the clock actually playing, and I remembered it exactly right!!!

          I have both of those. I had the Raggedy Ann and Andy one as a kid, (after seeing this ad in English), and now I have 2 Raggedy Ann and Andy clocks, and 1 Batman and Robin clock. Both of the RA&A clocks used to work, but have been jostled about too much when I've moved multiple times. Now only one works, but the off button is broken, so it will keep repeating the verse until I yank the battery out. My Batman one doesn't work at all, even after taking the advice of a toy dealer who got them to work. Oh well. I also notice that my version as a child didn't have the "Ding Dong" when the verse begins, but the 2 I own now do.
          "Do you believe, you believe in magic?
          'Cos I believe, I believe that I do,
          Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
          If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

              The Batman clock was one of my most cherished possessions when I was a kid. It stopped working at some point and my mom threw it away, I was pretty bummed. I still haven't gotten one for my collection, one of these days.

                The Batman clock had the loudest "tick" you would ever hear outside of Big Ben.
                If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                          I have one as well but I'm not sure it runs anymore. I haven't tried it in years.

                            Count me as another one who had the Batman one as a kid and whose current one does not talk anymore.

                            There used to be a guy on eBay who claimed he could fix them, but I haven't seen him in years.
