The 1966 Batman Message Board

There certainly are obvious moments in the Season 1 that poorly reflect women and would be unacceptable today. And there's little doubt about the lack of strong female characters in the show. I may differ somewhat in agreeing that *every* situation reflects poorly on women. For example, in the situa...

I'm continuing my live play through of the Batman video game series. Last week I finished Arkham Asylum. We started Arkham City this morning:

I want to go at your analysis from the opposite, mirror direction. I first discovered Batman and his rogues watching reruns of the 1960s show in 1976, The villain who was the most different was Riddler. Great thought. The TV show certainly had it's influence on the characters and Riddler is a great...

Who's the green-faced guy in the 1942 panel?

The green guy is Joe Crow. In Batman 11 (1942), Penguin teamed with Joe Crow, Buzzard Benny, and Canary in a "honest casino" story.

I'm about halfway through Arkham Asylum game in 12 streams (taking a bit longer than anticipated). To accommodate my personal schedule better, I'll now be streaming on Saturday mornings approximately 9 AM Central Time. Here's a highlight from this week's game play: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/51528...

Hey all! I'll be streaming live game play of the acclaimed video game Batman: Arkham Asylum every Thursday night at 7 PM CT on Twitch.tv starting tomorrow, Sept. 5! This game, released in 2009, features a script by Paul Dini (DC writer and creator of Harley Quinn) and voice-overs by Kevin Conroy and...

Interesting episode! As Paul mentioned, this project has also brought me a greater appreciation of Victor Buono (and Burgess Meredith). I'm sure I'll be in the minority on this, but as a "romantic" I like Ross' original script where Batman admits his love for a villianess (and liked even more the li...

Fascinating!

Really enjoyed this episode! Your discussion on the "silliness" of costumes [in this and other episodes] in comics has been interesting to me. The silliness certainly never occurred to me as in the 70s... 80s... 90s... or 2000s! In fact as recently as last year I was distraught over why Luke Cage an...

Wow! The production quality is very impressive!!
