The unheralded somewhat recent edition to FTC’s Batman 66 line, removable mask Riddler, is finally down to $20 in the window box. I wish they had all originally been released in the window boxes.
Officer Toody easily should’ve been part of Chief O’Hara’s elite squad (“...when it comes to brains, me men just aren’t equipped.”) but instead it appears he retired from the force to become a talent manager.
Was there ever an answer to how we’re sure these Bat costumes were worn by Adam? What about the ones in the George Sanders episode, or were those all worn by Adam, too? What about Alfred’s?

More thoughts now that I'm home... My first exposure to Batman was a bit later than a lot of folks here, the 1989 revival. The Family Channel was airing the episodes. My parents remembered it, but they were just old enough to not have seen a whole lot of it. They would've been right in between the a...
