A very talented Pug performs a hilarious canine rendition of the classic Batman TV series theme song.

Adam West is in Austin, Texas today attending a truly unique and special event:  Austin’s Night of the Bat.  As home of the largest urban population of bats, Austin is throwing a one-day Bat-Extravaganza.  Mr. West is attending as the guest of honor and introduce a special screening of the original classic 1966 film Batman.  The theater?  None other than the Paramount, where the film premiered over 40 years ago.  The day continues with a host of special events, a welcome to Mr. West from the mayor, a concert, all culminating with a gathering to view the amazing 1.5 million bats emerge from under Congress bridge for their famous nightly flight.

Adam West is no stranger to odd and unexpected roles, as seen in the photo below, but this is certainly one we never knew about.  Check out this interesting article about Adam’s turn as prescient video game journalist from the 1up.com retro video gaming blog.

No matter how avid a Batman fan you may consider yourself to be, there’s a man named Paul in Cornwall, England who will give you a run for your money.  Over 30 years, he has turned part of his home into what has been dubbed “The Cornish Wayne Manor”.  Complete with a Batman museum, a Batcave in the garden, and what looks like fully-functional Batman-themed bar, it’s one of the most impressive Batman memorabilia collections we’ve ever seen.  And what’s better, all the proceeds go to charity!  Enjoy the images below.
