Batman series starring Buford T. Justice, Jr.??

[Captain]

I was flipping through the web looking for some resource material on a character I'm working on, and came across the Wiki page for the Batman tv show. I know these pages are hardly 100% accurate at the best of times, but still...a pre-Adam West series Batman show in development? Mike Henry as Batman?

Anybody ever seen the early publicity pics of Henry in costume?

According to the ERB site, Henry was signed as Batman for the pilot film, but dropped out due to illness....?

I've never heard the Henry/Batman connection before, I've got some interviews with him I wonder if he mentions it. He's actually my favourite Tarzan.

It's brought up in the excellent Batcave Companion. I didn't connect Henry with Jr. though!

Glad someone else sees him that way, too! Actually, the whole run of Sy Weintraub-produced Tarzan movies are my favorites -- Hopefully, they'll make it to DVD sometime!
