They say that smoking crystal meth can keep a person awake for days. Well, unexplainably, it can probably also motivate someone to write a film about a pizza guy who is a superhero. At the very least, I hope this was the case for the writers of Frankie Muniz’s latest project Pizza Man; a film about the aforementioned concept of a super hero pizza boy. Lord forbid anyone ever tries to adapt a live-action version of the Domino’s Noid character (something I would thoroughly enjoy) and yet a story about Frank Muniz delivering super pies is completely acceptable? What’s more is that the video link (after the jump) seems to have originated from an O-Town fan-site. What’s that, you say, you don’t remember who O-Town was? They wrote sang a sexy song called Liquid Dreams, dips**t. Learn your American history.

Pizza Man, for reasons that only God and Satan understand, also features cameos from the likes of Adam West, Marvel’s own Stan Lee, Corbin Bernsen, Rowdy Roddy Piper and even Diamond Dallas Page. If that last sentence did not give you a boner, I think you should slug yourself in your own stomach, just to make sure that you’re still alive. Look, I have no idea whose barbeque everyone was getting hammered at, when they all agreed to be in this flick, but damn do I wish I was there.

Ever have one of those days when you’re running around the city with a bomb held over your head and there’s just no place to dispose of  it without hurting someone? Nineteen sixties TV Batman feels your pain.

If you’ve never seen the Batman TV show with Adam West, these gifs tell you everything you need to know. The show embraced the camp, each villain’s new scheme was more ridiculous than the last and Batman’s utility belt had an answer for literally every problem he could possibly encounter. While you might not like how the Dark Knight is portrayed, the show holds up incredibly well as a comedy.

Check out these wonderfully ridiculous gifs and let us know your favorite memories of the show in the comments.

25.  Batman of Zurr-En-Arrh

Okay, I’ll admit that one of the main reasons I picked this one is the ridiculous outfit.  But, I also love this version for being an example of a writer taking decades-old continuity and incorporating it logically into current storylines.  In the 1950s, the Batman of Zurr-En-Arrh was an extraterrestrial Batman who looked exactly like Bruce Wayne, but wore the brightly colored outfit you see here.  In his famed “Batman RIP: run, writer Grant Morrison called back to those goofy Silver Age tales and reimagined the Batman of Zurr-En-Arrh as a backup personality of Batman that would activate once Batman’s mind determined it was not in control of itself any more.  It’s a little silly, but that’s comics for ya!

Before William Shatner was Captain Kirk and Adam West was Batman, they filmed a pilot (below) called Alexander the Great.  Shatner in a miniskirt? Bathtub scene?  Check and check.  The pilot filmed in 1964, but didn’t air until 1968, after West and Shatner had become household names.  West was hoping no one would ever see this pilot, but he of all people should know that some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb.
