a wave 2 or a way to get a Joker, Penguin, and Riddler? Were these really sculpted and never released?

I got impatient.

Is this for sure the hero helmet...?

Is there a Certificate of Authenticity?

In 1989, two Aussie Batman fans - to their great surprise - managed to get "kind permission", from DC Comics' Phyllis Hume, to run a Batman club we called "Battalion" (she said that was a clever title that stretched the "no Bat-prefixes" rule) and published a newsletter called "Utility Belt". Someo...

I've heard the Red vs Orange debate so many times over the years, I couldn't count them all. Yes, it originally was orange BUT as Andy pointed out, it filmed red. Same tone as "Star Trek": the bridge safety rails and the front of the helm/navigation console. They look red on TV but were apparently ...

I love the aghast first-draft note "NO!" at the notion of goons removing our heroes' boots. I remember a panel in the "Batman '66" comic where our heroes take their boots off to reveal bare feet, ie. that their tights are the footless variety, leading to fan arguments. If "Lafcadio" means anything,...

Didn't Burt have a Batgirl with him doing appearances right after the show stopped airing? I seem to remember a picture of him with her and the costume was terrible.

Yes, I hunted that down the other day. Looked nothing like the person in question. Ditto the outfit.

Why they did cancel the Bats66? Sales? Well, if they keep doing these miniseries, I think they could do small arcs instead of matching the heroes with different franchises. The comics industry found out a long time ago that #1 issues sell very well, so a series of mini-series means more covers with...

... as well as one with the same lady on a funny mini bike came across the old board. I knew I had seen this thread before. Currently being chatted about on Facebook. I did find the other UK pic that Yvonne claims was not her. Yes, same building in the background; I have seen the pic before. "Like ...

I ordered this earlier this AM from Amazon. It says it is a softcover, no hardback this time. Also, the date is April 16 at Amazon. Happy to get it earlier, and prefer a hardcover. Will it have all the cover variants? https://www.amazon.com/Archie-Meets-Batman-Jeff-Parker/dp/1682558479/ref=sr_1_1?s...

Likewise, when she appeared in S2 in the Tut episode it's clear that was a last minute type of thing (there is no name for the actress playing Lisa Carson on the initial call sheets even with all other cast members named at this point) because she had to do that episode sandwiched around her commit...

Maybe this will pave the way for a Gotham/Riverdale tv crossover. :) https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7900/32825346548_b387d31eec_z.jpg "Archie meets Batman '66" omnibus by Ian McLean , on Flickr The omnibus of reprints has been announced! 27th March.

As a kid I never took notice of anything. I was oblivious to the existence of the movie for some years, and my friends and I puzzled over the Bat Laffs gum cards, pondering a mysterious, unseen episode where four arch villains interacted and had bookshelves with personalised labels. We also didn't ...
