Young and old at bLOGOS/HA HA have been enjoying the Friday evening re-screenings of the 1960s Batman television series on SBS Viceland.
The most recent, episode six - Batman Is Riled, featured our favourite supervillain The Joker played by Cesar Romero.

The responsibility of the press
- Robin: All the same! "The Joker is wild!" "Batman and Robin foiled again!" Holy Headlines, do we look like page one dumbbells!
- Batman: Too true, Robin. The responsibility of the press is to report the truth, despite what it might do to our public image. Our main concern is to a frightened public, whom we seem to be failing.
- Robin: Gosh, you're right. I can't help thinking of only myself. I'm sorry.
- Batman: Well, that's okay, chum. We all have the right to be selfish sometimes.
- Joker: Batman and Boy Wonder? Are your blindfolds in place? Very well, then. Ask yourselves, "What is wrong with this sentence?" "He who laughs last laughs good!" [laughs]
- [Batman turns off the television.]
- Robin: Holy grammar! Is that all?
- Batman: He who laughs last laughs best, not good! Best! Best! Best!
- Robin: Do you suppose "blindfold" might have something to do with it?
- Alfred: If I may venture an opinion, sir, I think Master Dick may have put his finger on it.
- Batman: Blindfold?
Holy grammar!
- Alfred: No, sir. Grammar. The sentence was gramatically incorrect. One does not laugh good, sir. One laughs well.
- Batman: Why, that's it, Alfred! Laughs well! Laughwell! Professor James J. Laughwell!
- Robin: Holy safari! The one that just got back from Africa, with a collection of rare masks and objects of art!
- Alfred: That's where the blindfold part would come in, sir.
- Batman: And they're being stored at the Lasts Longer Warehouse! To the Batmobile!
