#183 Bat-Costumes' Dynamic Duo: Chuck and Lynne Williams
Manage episode 326857914 series 95106
A huge aspect of the Batman show is the colorful costumes, overseen by designer Jan Kemp. Sadly, Kemp is no longer with us, and his records, if they exist, are not easily available, so if you want to make a really accurate Batman ’66 replica costume, some detective work is required. Chuck and Lynne Williams have done just that, making patterns from original costumes owned by collectors, tracking down existing supplies of fabrics that are no longer made, and more. This time, we hear from this dynamic duo about their detective work and what they’ve learned about how the costumes were made, what happened when the prop department needed to get involved (for example, the Mad Hatter’s mesmerizer hat), why Batman’s cowl and cape tended to turn purple over time, and more.
Plus, the Alfred Music Marching Band version of the theme, and your mail about the Thirteenth Hat script and more.
Vicki Lawrence talks with Jan Kemp and the Bat-crew
Adam on the Howard Stern Show: An original cowl?
Batgirl Teaches Batman a Lesson about Equal Pay
Comparing the Batman screen tests
Discussion of the Hizzoner the Penguin script on the Bat Message Board
