Immediately I go to the gravesites of the very first actors to play BATMAN & ROBIN on the display screen.
Within the 1940s, actor Lewis Wilson performed Bruce Wayne, aka Batman within the 15-part THE BATMAN film serial. Wilson is laid to relaxation at Forest Garden Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, California.
Actor Douglas Croft performed Dick Greyson, aka Robin the boy marvel. He is buried at Fort Rosecrans Nationwide Cemetery in San Diego, CA.

Lewis Wilson trained at the Pasadena Playhouse. He was a solid actor.

I hope Lewis will see the 2nd original Batman Adam West in heaven. Rest in peace you two

TCM shows this serial on the weekends
Hi Steve! Very interesting! I wasn't aware of this Batman and Robin! Thank you for sharing!๐๐
I did not know that, wow thank you Steve
I found out about the first dynamic duo ever, a couple of years ago. It's great that you visited their graves. Honor to whom honor is due. With all this been said, I must point out that, the only & best dynamic duo for me will always be, Adam West (RIP) & Burt Ward.
I don't remember this t.v.show but I remember the later show with Adam West and Burt ward
2 weekends ago was the ending of the Batman serial on TCM!
I was an original member of the Batman Fan Club. As memory serves me I believe I got the Membership Card out of a box of Cereal. Somewhere in my Garage I still have the membership Card with my name Jeffrey Judd with not so good penmanship
I bought the dvd of this version ๐ whatwhat a trip! So cool to see the canges over the years. Thanks for sharing your passion, I've learned a lot
If you want to have a laugh, check out the โbat mobileโ from the original movies. It was a โ39 Cadillac convertible.
I never knew that there had been a previous Batman and Robin series! Thank you for showing their stories!
Recently saw these episodes on TCM. Cool show. But it was kind of lame that they used an American to play a Japanese villian.
โค that batman my favorite batman movie; I got that batman episode movie ๐ฌ & 1949 batman episode: 1943 favorite batman
Thanks for sharing!! Never heard this story before, something new is always learned with you ๐๐ป๐๐๐ป๐๐
That cemetery is beautiful. I wasn't around in the 40's, but I am happy to learn about the first Batman. Thanks for showing this
Great job Steve enjoy watching these videos
I don't know if you knew this but he was married to Dana Broccoli who married the longtime producer of the Bond movies and is the father of Michael G. Wilson who is now the executive producer of the Bond movies.
hi steve great blog keep the great work
Douglas's wife's birthday is the day after mine. =)
To be honest, I hadn't heard of these two actors before today. I've visited Rosecrans cemetery before and it really is absolutely lovely and serene. It's been many years since I was there, but if I ever go again I'll pay a visit Douglas Croft's grave. I find it so sad that the poor man died from drinking himself and had such a short life. I hope he's resting in peace now, as I hope are all people whose grave sites you visit in these videos.
1st Batman and Robin of the 1940's Are no longer with us anymore because they are deceased decades from each other and they will be remembered for their roles as Batman and Robin and I have seen the old batman on AMC on TV once in a while and now I'm 43 years old a month ago and next year I will be 44 years old next Autumn of 2022 and it's just a honor to be a die hard fan of yours Steve and thanks for the information about the Actors who played the 1st Batman and Robin in the movies
Interesting one Steve. Wanted to ask about Eileen Barton. Do you have any info on this singer?
