Beware The Gray Ghost
How’s this for meta brilliance? Adam West, the first famous on-screen Batman, plays has-been actor Simon Trent. Bruce Wayne happens to have been a fan of Simon’s depiction, the Gray Ghost, since he was a child. He even modeled the Batcave after him. A bombing spree based on a Gray Ghost episode spurs the episode’s narrative. The script delves into obsolescence, what makes life worth living, and the horrors of being a fan.
