Actually, fwiw a Shazam/Captain Marvel film is already in pre-production. The Rock will be playing Black Adam in it.

 

I don't think anyone from the 1940s serial is still around. I stand to be corrected on that, though.

Burt Boyar, who played Billy Batson in a Captain Marvel/Shazam 1940s radio serial, died in April. Apparently no recordings of radio show or transcripts have survived.

There are a few other cast members from said films worth bearing in mind;

 

Billy Dee Williams (the original Harvey Dent) b. 1937

Lee Wallace (Mayor William Borg) b. 1930

Michael Murphy (The Mayor in Batman Returns) b. 1938

Also Bob Kane's widow, actress Elizabeth Sanders who cameoed in 3 of the Batman films appears to still be alive, but I can't find a DOB. Worth pointing out too that Christopher Walken (Max Schreck in Batman Returns) is older than Schwarzenegger and DeVito

 

Lee Wallace dead.

Apparently a bit-actress in the 60s whenever you needed a blonde bombshell in a TV series, the obit features her Batman appearances strongly. But there were only two.

I didn't remember her Batman role (Polly in a Mad Hatter 2 parter) and it so important it doesn't even get a mention on the Batman Wiki's list of characters for the story!

These behind-the-scenes people from the Adam West Batman are still with us as best that I can determine.

 

Directors:Robert Butler 1927)/Jeffrey Hayden (1926)/Leslie H Martinson (1915)/Larry Peerce(1930)/James Sheldon(1920)/Sam Strangis(1929).

 

Scriptwriters: Earl Barrett(1932)/Stephen Kandel(1927)/Robert Mintz/Charles Sinclair(1924?).

 

Martinson is one of the oldest surviving directors in Tinseltwon, although, I don't believe the oldest; Strangis' daughter Judy Strangis later was 'Dyna-Girl" in the Sid & Marty Kroft superhero spoof from 1976 Electa-Woman and Dyna-Girl, an especially campy tongue-in-cheek female version of Batman. So close in fact, it was fortunate the Krofts somehow dodged a lawsuit from William Dozier and Co., although there were only maybe a dozen episodes of this one. Deidre Hall from the soap Days of Our Lives was ElectaWoman.

 

Given the age of these folks listed, no doubt many will be items for the obituaries in the next 3, 4 years.

Prolific Hollywood scriptwriter Stephen Kandel obit: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/nytimes/name/stephen-kandel-obituary?id=53412785

 

Hart To Hart and Six Million Dollar Man from my childhood stand out. RIP.

Some of the older voice actors from the cartoons:

 

Super Friends (1973-86)

Casey Kasem (b. 1932) - Robin

Michael Bell (b. 1938) - Riddler

 

Batman : The Animated Series (1992-95)

Efrem Zimbalist Jr. (b. 1918) and Clive Revill (b. 1930) - Alfred

Bob Hastings (b. 1925) - Commissioner Gordon

Richard Moll (b. 1943) - Harvey Dent

David Warner (b. 1941) - Ra's Al Ghul

 

And James Holmes hasn't even been formally charged yet - they're still on the initial round of preliminary hearings, so it'll be months yet before we know what his sentence is going to be.

Richard Moll reportedly dead aged 80: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/richard-moll-dead-night-court-bull-1235630482/

 

Probably rather better known as Bull the Bailiff on sitcom Night Court. Loads of other roles - Happy Days, Mork And Mindy, Laverne And Shirley, TJ Hooker, Dukes of Hazzard and loads of voice roles in animated series and video games.

He's on my DCAU DDP theme team. Figured at his size he wasn't going to live much past 80. Sucks to be right, he was great.

r/batman - What I hear in my head when reading Batman comics.

 

If I was Paul Williams I'd go for a check-up.
