Lorenzo Semple Jr., the screenwriter best known for creating the hilariously campy 'Batman' TV series from the 1960s, has passed away at the age of 91.

We presumed that FOX's forthcoming 'Batman' prequel TV series, 'Gotham,' would next set its sights on casting a young Bruce Wayne, but its latest choice is far more surprising.

"BYE BYE." Those are the chilling final words scrawled in capital letters on the last page of a diary the late Heath Ledger kept as he was filming 'The Dark Knight,' his last finished movie. Ledger's father, Kim, opened up Ledger's Joker diary publicly for the first time for the upcoming documentary 'Too Young to Die,' giving fans a fascinating glimpse into how the late actor created one

It's good to see these soldiers still have their sense of humor in a place where anything can happen. Then again, should something go down, America's own Caped Crusader has their backs.

The mystery of the "The Bradford Batman" has been solved.

So that's what Batman looks like without the molded armor. Makes us feel a little better.
