Colonel Klink on Batman

Batman and Robin exchange pleasantries with a Nazi(?) from World War II from a rival network. Werner Klemperer in an extremely odd window cameo.

Love Werner! Always a funny man! :)

That is pretty cool, guess this is one "gag" that can't be matched

Awesome, I love when they refer to other TV shows.

Granted, the timeline was a bit off, but I'll suspend my disbelief.

Still, if I was Batman I'd be a little disturbed that Col. Klink was in town.

@cheeseshoes And also that Klink was in character for this cameo. The very idea of Klink and Hogan in 1960's had never crossed my mind.

@cheeseshoes I know I am stating the obvious, but it is so easy to think WW2 was ancient history(especially if you are young), but in the 1960's, it was only 20 years ago. I am in my forties and it didn't dawn on me until that clip that all that stuff I watched as a kid was only 20 years away from WW2. To contrast this, 20 years ago from the present, is 1991. The 1990's was the far future in the shows I watched as a kid and we're 20 years after that.

@zenzmurfy well yes thats obvious but you talked as if you were dumb enough to think that HH was real (I knew you weren't) or you didn't know the taping date. its just the way my brain processes text. some times i read too much into it or not enough.

[zenzmurfy]

@cheeseshoes I meant the 1940's was only "20 years ago" back in the 1960s. We're about 2x away from Star Trek original air date than Star Trek was away from World War 2.

@zenzmurfy well thats when hogans heroes was taped
