The Bat (1926) 9/9

[nextproject90]

The lady who was always knitting no matter what was going on was a real inspiration to me. She could teach a course on HOW TO KNIT YOUR WAY THROUGH ANY CRISIS. Who knows it might replace PROZAC.

@nextproject90 Knitting is more insidious than one might think. It allows a woman to be perfectly acceptable and horribly overlooked while having two very sharp and pointy sticks as potential weaponry in public places. I have this film and love it btw. Kudos!

Thank you for posting this. I'd heard so much about it, but I never saw it before.

[LisaBreeBranch]

[palovana9]

was there a part missing around 2:20 or something? anyhow, thanks for uploading! =)

[spyhunter178]

@palovana9 actually, that was to represent the darkened room, nice assumption tho, with these old movies.

Great to see Jack Pickford, his films are quite hard to find online.

[mp01juve]

[PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

I watched the bat but I want to see the bat whispers , the remake

[superedd93]

now thats entertainment!

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

This film marks the beginning of "Batman" as the AVGN says, "The Bat" was the film that give birth to "Batman". It was from 1926 and it was silent.

[jack2breeze]

The first version was made in 1915 but this is the one that inspired Batman.

[mp01juve]

actually it was the 1930 remake 'the bat whispers' which influenced Bob Kane

[jack2breeze]

both versions may have influenced him scenes from this version was used in a documentary about the history of Batman.

A fun silent, that would have gone virtually unwatched if you hadn't posted it. Thanks again for your work in posting these movies.
