Fred Flintstone, Alan Reed and Yabba Dabba Doo
Yabba Dabba Doo Fred Flintstone is widely known for shouting "Yabba Dabba Doo" but not many people may realize where his trademark comment originated. It actually came from the mother of the man who brought Fred to life. Alan Reed who voiced the iconic caveman is the one who came up with the popular phrase. Reed stated that his mom often would say "A little dab will do ya." He tweaked it and history was made. "A little dab will do you" came from the Brill Creme shaving cream television commercials that originated in the 1950s, which I viewed in the 1960s and 1970s. I had no idea that Fred Flinstone's signature phrase was related.

My Take on "The Batman" Trailer
WARNING: This is not a shot by shot breakdown. This is my feelings and opinions and impressions based on what I saw. Here we go again, a new reboot, a new actor and still no campy-ness. I will be the first person to admit I loved the old campy Batman films! Tim Burton started it all with 1984's Batman and whoo boy! After I had watched Batman: The Animated Series based on this campy telling of the Batman comic books I was in love. I loved the aesthetic the art deco style really captured my imagination and made is a bit spooky for me as a kid. I loved the music it could get me excited like the main theme, could make me scared. The music that plays over the scene of Joker's henchmen driving the trash barges in the episode The Last Laugh is a great example. I then watched the movies, and I loved them. Whether it was Michael Keaton, George Clooney or Val Kilmer, who played Batman I loved the comic book feeling of those films. I loved Batman up until the Nolan films. I could go on and on about the animated series and the pre-Nolan Batman films. That could be another article all on its own. This article is to talk about the trailer for the new film, The Batman.
