What if...1943's Batman serial was an A-list studio film?

      To me, Karloff is Clayface I, but I certainly think he'd be a great Prof. Strange.

      Tierney would be a good Catwoman. She was chilling in Leave Her to Heaven. That film is where I got the idea for Darryl Hickman as Robin.
      I like Lugosi for Clayface better.

            Every day, or almost. I'm addicted to it. It's really influenced this thread lol.

            Edit: Gad, a Joan Crawford melodrama is just starting and the producer is William Dozier. Joan should've been on Batman, she might have made Nora Clavicle tolerable.

              I liked Joan in those movies like Mildred Pierce. She was great in that era. But, by a few years later, she just wasn’t appealing to me.

              PS. Do you like Jean Arthur? I thought she was great in every film that I saw her in.

                Ah, Jean Arthur. Vastly underrated, just her voice and delivery is terrific. I agree with you and highly recommend Wilder's A Foreign Affair.

                  ^ Yes, that’s a great film! I believe I’ve seen just about all of her movies, but that’s a stand-out.

                    Crawford would have been great on the 66 Batshow. She was doing a lot of B stuff around then, so probably would have done it.

                      I agree, I think she would have had fun on Batman. She did a Man from UNCLE which I have not seen.

                          Um, yes--but you brought up Batman '66.

                          Edit: Oops, no that was me with Clavicle. Sorry.

                              No. Perhaps Raymond Massey. I didn't suggest any B-list foes.

                                Jean Arthur, Myrna Loy, and Bette Davis are my big 3 for favorite classic actresses. Sorry to continue veering.
