  • (crowd applause) Mad music Max, thank you.

  • Do you wake up to that music every day every?

  • Every morning. Gets me going, yeah.

  • If I were you, I would program that into my snooze alarm.

  • (laughter)

  • It's very nice to see you. You look great.

  • Thanks. You look terrific.

  • Conan, I had more fun here last time because,

  • as I recall -

  • There was alcohol in the green room.

  • (crowd laughing)

  • No, we all sat around the campfire.

  • Yes. A toast cigar weenies.

  • That - And you were -

  • That was actually the time before last. Yeah.

  • Okay. And you were playing the guitar.

  • Which - Yes

  • I thought was memorable. And we were all singing

  • Roy Acuff, stuff or something.

  • Yeah, that's when we experimented more on the show.

  • Now, we've learned not to make people hate us.

  • Just stick to the basics

  • Just for land and the prairie, yes.

  • That's right. Okay.

  • Now, one of the reasons that I wanted to talk to you.

  • Yes. This time.

  • (laughter)

  • What was that all about?

  • Anthony did you just press an electric button in the seat?

  • You really want to talk to me?

  • No, I want you here because this movie just came out.

  • This thing that people claim is a Batman movie.

  • Are you all right, what's wrong?

  • I'm sorry. I just wanted to cheat

  • and look at your notes. Okay.

  • What are you talking about?

  • The notes.

  • It just says ask him about the Batman movie.

  • The new Batman movie

  • Well I wanted to take away because, I'm not judgemental.

  • You're not judgemental.

  • Oh, you don't want to talk about this?

  • I don't want to talk about -

  • People want you to talk about this.

  • You do? Yes, they do.

  • (crowd applause)

  • No, I want - What do I know about Batman?

  • No, I want to ask you about this.

  • They come out with this new movie. George Clooney is in it.

  • They got Chris O'Donnell as Robin.

  • Batman and Robin. Remember you Batman and Robin.

  • That should have been you and me. I know this.

  • (laughter)

  • Yeah. Boy people would be lining up

  • around the block to see that.

  • The saddest Batman movie ever made.

  • No.

  • No, but I'm curious about this.

  • I mean, don't you think that they could incorporate you,

  • into these Batman movies in some way?

  • I know you've said before that you could be uncle Batman.

  • Yes. That's all I want.

  • You could be the elder statesman, Batman.

  • Yes. You see what I'm saying?

  • You could be the Batman who retired,

  • but still comes by occasionally,

  • and gives George Clooney advice.

  • And says, "In the 60s, we did it differently, old friend."

  • Yes I like that idea. Right.

  • I think we could freshen the whole franchise.

  • Yeah, exactly. Yes.

  • Because if you ask me, these movies,

  • they've got all the stunts,

  • they've got all the special effects,

  • but they're lacking a little oomph, don't you think?

  • Well, I think we could be humanized a bit more.

  • A little warmer and wittier.

  • And I think Uncle Batman's a pretty good idea.

  • Yeah, Uncle Batman. Things as -

  • I think people by the idea of Uncle Batman.

  • (crowd applause)

  • Uncle Batman, popping on a pipe.

  • Well, things could be so desperate,

  • and gotten absurd, yeah.

  • Puffing on your bat pipe, (laughing) coming by.

  • What was that? I don't know.

  • The bat pipe was moving, yeah.

  • You just had a flashback, didn't you?

  • Yes I did.

  • Look, smoke. There's a bat, it is smoke.

  • It was a crazy time in the 60s for you, wasn't it?

  • Do you do that often during conversation,

  • you're talking to someone you just go, like that?

  • Please, Adam, over here.

  • No. No, you don't.

  • I'll leave you. I'll be fine.

  • Yeah, I'm sure. I'll leave with you Conan.

  • Have you noticed? This is something,

  • that I've noticed in these -

  • Where, what? Oh, I'm over here, Adam.

  • I didn't notice. Adam, it's okay.

  • Adam, 1997 right here Conan O'Brien, all right.

  • Right here lock eyes with me baby.

  • I've noticed that in these new Batman movies,

  • they're making.

  • Have you seen it, they put all these sexual stuff,

  • into these Batman movies?

  • For example, the suits that George Clooney,

  • and Chris O'Donnell have -

  • You're talking about lumps?

  • No, they put nipples on them,

  • and they wear big coat.

  • There are nipples on their suits now.

  • What was that?

  • Was a long nipple.

  • (crowd laughing) I was -

  • (crowd laughing)

  • I thought it was a short something,

  • because I didn't know what's going on.

  • (crowd laughing)

  • I didn't know you were referring to that.

  • (crowd applauds)

  • Don't bring up long nipple on.

  • My point is this is. Do you find that disturbing at all?

  • I mean, I find that a disturbing part of these movies,

  • is that you think they're essentially for kids,

  • and you go there - Well, I don't find it

  • sexually disturbing. And batman,

  • rubbing his nipples in his suit.

  • No, it doesn't turn me on. Is that what you're saying?

  • No, I didn't ask if it's -

  • Sexually disturbing, no.

  • Work eyes.

  • (Laughter)

  • Yes, I do a little bit, because -

  • You think it's a little odd.

  • I mean, you didn't do that in your series.

  • No, we didn't need to Conan.

  • It was all natural just a bat tall, of course.

  • But it was.

  • (crowd laughing)

  • What you saw was what -

  • You're gonna still regret that you hadn't.

  • On your show too,

  • one of the things was nice to see,

  • is that you guys did things lower tech,

  • and these shows, in these movies now,

  • they have all kinds of devices,

  • and everything to get up a side a building.

  • You guys threw a rope up there,

  • and then walked up the side of the building,

  • and that was just so much more enjoyable.

  • Don't you think, than all this high tech stuff?

  • Yes, we had a more leisurely bat climb.

  • (Conan laughing)

  • We took time to say hello to people on the way up.

  • Good morning citizens.

  • Your Batman had a lot of time to kill.

  • That's right.

  • I was curious.

  • I don't think, I haven't seen you asked about this.

  • But in Pulp Fiction,

  • quite a famous scene,

  • John Travolta, and Huma Thurman -

  • Oh, yeah. Are dancing.

  • And John Travolta, starts to do, The Batusi.

  • And I was thinking this is a movie,

  • that ended up garnering some Oscars.

  • Did you in any way feel,

  • you should get some credit for the movie?

  • I mean, that was a big scene

  • when John Travolta, was doing that.

  • Yes, but I didn't really want to step in,

  • and assume much credit.

  • I was going to take the Oscar,

  • I had arranged to steal the Oscar.

  • Yeah.
