Re: SCRIPT: True or False Face
I always had been dismayed by the scene near the end in which False-Face instantaneously goes from 'Cowboy' to Commish. That, to me, was the one instance in which the illusion was broken and in which FF became more of a shapeshifter than a 'master of disguise.' I was glad to see Kandel didn't write...

Re: SCRIPT: True or False Face
Thanks as always for providing the script, especially all the versions so we could see the creative process. I know how Malachi always said he was told the original concept was different facial makeup, but I have to admit, I'm not quite sure how that would've worked, just reading the treatment and f...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #187: "Superman" musical: It's not a bird, but is it camp?
Great research, guys. I can see you put a lot of work into this. Yes, only one 'Wide' in 'Wide World of Sports.' :D Just listening to some of the tracks and even with Holiday's obvious enthusiasm, I suspect one of the problems is much like Dozier with Dick Tracy and Mr. Memory. You've got the recogn...

Re: Which episode is this screenshot from?
I think you're right. Compare this screengrab from The Ivy Maze, an episode of The Fugitive in which she played a college student. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0584018/mediaviewer/rm4128064000/?ref_=tt_md_3 I screened both of her scenes--it's shortly after the opening credits in The Fugitive--and it...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #186: Why "The Joker Jury" was out
After listening to it, these are my thoughts: Don't ever stop saying NANANANANANA LAWSUIT!!! It's still funny. Good observations on the lines of Finger's that Hodge changed and the ones he kept. As you noted, it does seem like a mashup of two ideas. Then again, season 2 was full of such arcs in whic...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #186: Why "The Joker Jury" was out
About to listen, but the first thing I notice from the treatment is this (pardon me, mods): NO SEXY DAME!! I can envision steam coming out of Dozier's ears a la Messrs. Slate/Spacely and his fedora, if he is wearing one, flying off and hitting the ceiling in his office. (He's also not enthused about...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #185: Zelda without Shame
Sirs, at long last I'll do something I should have done before. I'll take a shot at that final Julie Newmar Catwoman arc you tried to 'fix,' as it were, although it may require 'rewriting the fool thing.' To be fair, the CSI: Batman bit with the strand of hair isn't bad, and of course, Julie's iconi...

Resurrecting this one...
You eagerly bought tickets to the Broadway show Hamilton only to be sorely disappointed.
Similarly, you finally found the short-lived TV series O'Hara, United States Treasury on DVD only to discover it was not a spinoff.

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #185: Zelda without Shame
I think Peyer's story, as you described it, seems clever. And he came off terrific when you interviewed him. But I'd say this--were fans really clamoring for an Egbert story?? This is almost like season 2 when Dozier decided to make everyone in his Rolodex a guest villain. Just because you can gradu...

Re: My Ranking of the '66 Molls
BAT 77, great idea for a thread, as is Andy's on the villains that inspired it. I need to respond in full in both. But for now, I will say dell makes a good point. Yes, many moll actresses were given much less to work with. But as epaddon alluded to, what sets apart Julie Gregg's portrayal of Finell...

Re: Molls who were redeemed vs. those who weren't.
There is a higher percentage of "redeemed" molls in Season 1 because they frequently used the moll's redemption as the basis for the final tag scene of an episode. And inevitably, these tag scenes would end with the same music cue, a soulful sounding one that you can hear for the episode ...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #184: "Hizzoner": A Good Script? It's Debatable
Good and thought-provoking script show, as always. Agreed. But riddle me this, Dynamic Duo of Bat-Podcasting, is it the Semplian ideal for Batman and Robin to PURPOSELY put henchmen in the campaign literature machine just for a sight gag?? (They could've ended up maimed or worse had this been a Dar...

Good and thought-provoking script show, as always. Tim, your point about the election loophole that Batman found in the treatment is well-taken. No, it doesn't fit the Semplian ideal. But riddle me this, Dynamic Duo of Bat-Podcasting, is it the Semplian ideal for Batman and Robin to PURPOSELY put he...
