Video with 2 notes

Andy Warhol’s Batman/Dracula (1964)

Since this came out before the Adam West Batman show, did the TV show steal its high “BATMAN!” bit from Andy? That seems like a pretty important bit of pop culture lore that’s been forgotten, although the film itself was lost until a few years ago so it makes sense people wouldn’t know about it. I can never get into Warhol’s film stuff, and the video quality isn’t great, but maybe someone else would like to take a shot at interpreting it? More excerpts are up on youtube, and there’s an unreleased Velvet Underground track in part 2.
