Video: Adam West and Burt Ward ( 1966 Batman TV Show Actors ) 1987 TV Interview
Interviewed for Entertainment Tonight in 1987, Adam and Burt reminisce about their 60's Batman days and the neccesity of wearing "restraining devices." There is also a "hint" about a new Batman movie coming out which we all now know was BATMAN, directed by Tim Burton in 1989. It's the "1st Batman movie" with Michael Keaton & Jack Nicholson. I have always wished that they would have given Adam & Burt a cameo appearance in that movie. But, they did give a tiny film role to Bob Kane, one of the creators of Batman, so that's cool. He played a newspaper reporter.

I thought I heard that Kane ended up not being in the '89 film. There's a scene with a staff illustrator at the newspaper office who draws a rendering of "The Bat-Man" and signs it "Bob Kane," but if memory serves, it's not him.
Then again, that probably just makes the movie more true to life. Maybe that was the guy who actually drew all that other stuff Kane signed over the years! LOL
Hmmm, good point.
I swear I thought I saw Bob Kane, for a micro second, when I saw the movie in '89. I'll have to research that!
I checked it out & you're right. Bob Kane was NOT in the movie. It was a different guy who handed the reporter the cartoon picture. There was a scheduling conflict with Bob Kane & he couldn't be there. But, he was hired as a consultant on the film, probably a high-paid cushy job!
