I didn't get the reference when I saw the film back in 95' - I was still a youngster and hadn't been hipped yet to the awesome 1960's Adam West Batman. Once I became privy to that classic bit of camp I went back and re-watched Batman Forever and found myself utterly enchanted by a sly loving shoutout in the film to the 60's series in the form of a homage to Burt Ward's iconic portrayal of the boy wonder. Nolan's Batman trilogy all but blanked the Batman heritage, and missed out on a terrific opportunity for fan service and to pay its dues. That is simple arrogance. I don't care if you're a fan of Nolan's ultra "realistic" take on the Batman franchise or not: if this clip doesn't make you crack a nostalgic smile then you truly have no since of humor. Perhaps a dose of the Joker's laughing gas would help?
