Batman meets Caturday 

I was a small child when I first watched batman… small enough to believe Batman and Robin were really walking up the exterior walls of skyscrapers. When I saw it again in reruns as an adult I fell in love with Batman all over again for the breathtaking seriousness of the dynamic duo.  Later still I became Facebook friends with Adam West, still cool after all these years. When he passed away earlier this year I was deeply saddened.  

So I made this small video as a memorial. In case you wonder why I’m a free culture advocate, I wanted to publish this on June 9th, but it was held up by a copyright claim (to the Batman Theme/Music).  I am only publishing this now after having made a successful case for Fair Use.

Now that it has been cleared, I can share it with you here for Caturday.
