Bam! Clunk! Whap! A visual catalog of the interstitial fight-scene titles from the old “Batman” television series. Seen collected like this, they’re actually quite beautiful. According to this blog post, the most popular titles were “Kapow!” (used 50 times) and “Boff!” (used 43 times). Now you know.
I just produced a movie with 9-12 year olds about the importance of getting good grades and going to college. In the film, the kids engage in a full-blown food fight. To embellish the action, I used my own “Kaplowee” (etc.) signs flying out of the screen. Huh… less tjam one week later here are the signs that inspired my integration of the same concept. Fun stuff!
These are great! I’ve been using the “Kapow!” one as a message board avatar for several months now.
If only they were just that bit bigger, they would make great desktop backgrounds
