Pope F.A.Q. #3 - Popeman?
Question: Was the Pope the original Batman?
Answer: No, the original Batman was Michael Keaton. The Pope did, however, put in a cameo appearance in Captain Ron [The Pope, for reasons that are beyond explanation, is a huge Martin Short fan -ed.]. And George Lucas added a digital Pope amongst the assembled throngs in Jaba's Palace when he reworked Return of the Jedi.

Oh great keeper of knowledge in all things popey, if Michael Keaton was the first Batman, as you say, how doth one explaineth the existence of Adam West? Was he not Batman on both the silver screen and the mighty tube of boob?
Or was he the spawn of Satan as I and my brothers always thought?
Anonymous, if that is your real name, you are quite near the mark with your question regarding Mr. West and Satan. While he has never been declared the spawn of Satan, Mr. West and the entire Batman TV series and movie from the late 1960's have been officially removed from all Church documentation. The actual controversy is too complicated to explain here, but the Cliffnotes version is that the propensity of the Robin character on the show to say "Holy [blank] Batman" (with everything from "agility" to "sardine" serving as the blank) was viewed as a form of Apostasy by the Church.
