Adam West: 60's Batman

Quotes 

• [the Critic looked at a PSA about the Federal Equal Pay Law featuring 1960s Batman: he and 1960s Robin are tied to a bomb about to blow up when 1960s Batgirl has to save them, but is hesitant to do so until she is given equal pay] 

  Nostalgia Critic : Okay... where do I start with this?

  [he looks over the ad again] 

  Nostalgia Critic : Adam West is really phoning it in, isn't he? His life is on the line, yet it sounds like he's teaching a geometry class!

  60's Batman : Quick, Batgirl, untie us before it's too late.

  Nostalgia Critic : [as Batman]  And please tell me the property 4x.

  [normal voice] 

  Nostalgia Critic : Second, Batman's kind of an asshole.

  60's Batgirl : Equal pay for men and women.

  60's Batman : No time for jokes, Batgirl.

  Nostalgia Critic : Wow, what a douche!

  [imitating Batman] 

  Nostalgia Critic : I mean, come on! Your vagina alone docks you, like, 20 percent.

  [normal voice] 

  Nostalgia Critic : Even Robin's like, "C'mon, you crazy dame! We gave you the vote; what else do you want?" Third, superheroes get paid? When did this start? Are superheroes getting regular wages? Do they have a union? Plus, I don't know what the paychecks are, but the idea of anyone getting paid less than Robin is friggin' hilarious! Fourth, she's just gonna let Batman die? Kids at home must be pissing themselves! She's about to kill their favorite hero AND a young boy! Batgirl's gonna become everyone's most hated character since "The Killing Joke"! Fifth, even with the threat of killing Batman, women still aren't given equal pay! This was made back in the '60s, and it's STILL unequal! We'd rather see one of our favorite superheroes die than give a few more bucks to these weird, titted creatures! Dude, if that's not gonna do anything, I don't know what will. SIXTH, while it is well-intentioned, is this really the best time for Batgirl to bring this up? Couldn't they, like, sit down and discuss a back-and-forth or protest or, I don't know, "call your Congressman", like you just said? I mean, how awkward must things be for Batman and Batgirl after this situation?
