Who the gently caress would kick those two out of an orgy? That sounds fun as hell. Like, everyone is probably high and getting sexy and THEN Batman and the Joker come in?!

Gorshin was the Riddler. Caesar Romero was the Joker. Anyway, I dunno. I’m guessing some guy was trying to nut and West screamed out “GREAT SCOTT” or something along those lines and that was that.

I’m not sure how popular the 60s TV show was when it was on the air. It has gained cult status since Batman became a cultural icon in the 90s/00s but maybe they just weren’t A-list enough to be weirdos at a Hollywood gently caress-fest at the time.

Edit: well the show was apparently a very big deal but it was mostly aimed at a teen/pre-teen audience so maybe that was it?

They could have also been straight up obnoxious. In one retelling, West hinted that the two of them may not have been entirely sober which is also a no-no for a lot of sex parties.

I always thought West and Gorshin legit sound like proto-goons in that story.

IMO Batman is the gayest superhero including his rogue gallery. He’s a rich single, clean bachelor. Robin is his twink boytoy and Alfred watches all the action. Joker is gay for Batman and Jokers girlfriend Harley Quinn is involved with Poison Ivy. Everyone wears skintight leather suits. Even commisioner Gordon can't make it work with his wife cause of his dedication to his job and his relationshiop with aformentioned gay billionaire Bruce Wayne

There was a constant battle to keep the actors' dongs properly concealed in the skin tight costumes. Many women watched the show specifically for the bulges, and West getting invited to the orgy was entirely because of the show.

at the peak of the show's popularity adam west was apparently having sex with so many women that, while he was having sex with one woman in his trailer, other women would be banging on his door telling him to stop having sex with this woman and start having sex with them instead

eventually a lightbulb went off in adam's head and he realized he wasn't limited to just one at a time and he could be having orgies instead

it's true

just like how barbara eden had to hide her belly button on i dream of jeannie, there was a huge controversy about adam west's and burt ward's bat-bulges during the show's run.... several different methods of crotch concealment were used during the series' run to head off complaints from religious organizations

joker as a sugary digestible pop culture icon sucks, but joker as a reminder that societal norms, morality, order and all that is just a (mostly) shared fiction is great, as is the reminder that that system isn't really equipped to deal with individuals who don't partake in that fiction
