I wondered why it was #BatmanDay today. It’s not Finger or Kane’s birthdays or the anniversary of the first published comic book appearance. But if any actor embodied #Batman, it was #AdamWest

Happy #BatmanDay! Did you know that Robin the Boy Wonder’s name and costume was inspired by #RobinHood? Or that the real Gotham is in #Nottinghamshire? Learn more about #Batman’s Robin Hood connections here: www.boldoutlaw.com/hidden-grove... #DCComics #comicbooks #visitnotts

The first decisive literary reference to #RobinHood came in 1377. The Peasants Revolt depicted in #TheUprising took place in 1381. Stephen Basdeo has written about the fictional afterlives of both Wat Tyler and Robin Hood. Read the interview here: www.boldoutlaw.com/robint/steph... #medieval

I honour him by playing a video clip every time I take a day off. “This time, we’re going to have to solve a case (gulp) ourselves.” His delivery was perfect for Batman ‘66.

Sir Walter Scott (Aug. 15, 1771 - Sept. 21, 1832). His 1819 novel #Ivanhoe featured Robin Hood (Locksley) as a supporting character. Scott’s novel set the template for the modern #RobinHood legend. #BOTD (More info: www.boldoutlaw.com/robages/robi... ) #SirWalterScott

For more films with a Robin Hood connection guaranteed to enrage you — check out Santa Fe Trail. As one modern writer said when the film’s token liberal character is George Armstrong Custer played by Ronald Reagan, you know you are in trouble. (Flynn, De Havilland, directed by Curtiz)

Although super handy when you are looking for a video clip to show the sexism of the time.

Robin Hood: Bold Outlaw @boldoutlaw.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

To be fair though, the most objectionable material (the breakfast scene) were studio mandated reshoots not scripted by Lardner and added over Hepburn’s strong objections.

I included some clips from this film when discussing women superheroes and the history of feminism back in the 2024 course I thought.

Thanks. I always feel a special connection to this time and Robin Hood — maybe because my birthday is on Tuesday. Early May has always been celebratory to me.

I think graphic novels have more vital hands, so this should be less of an issue. But I know what you mean. I put my address as to where I knew I’d be living in late 2023. And now 3 years later, we’re thinking about moving to a house. Hope it turns up before then.

I am also tired of it, and doubt this is the best time for such a take. Also, one of the other gritty Robin Hoods was made by a lot of very talented people and it wasn’t very good.
