Was the "Joker's Wild" prison escape from the comics?
We know that much of "The Joker's Wild"/"Batman is Riled" was based on "The Joker's Utility Belt" in Batman issue 73 (1952). But the "spring" prison escape is not in that story, and I feel as if somewhere (a search of the board turned up nothing) I heard that ...

TO THE BATPOLES #202: British Batmania: A Slow Burn
https://assets.libsyn.com/show/65262/BatmanInLondon.jpg We Americans know that Batman was also popular in the United Kingdom (and many other countries), but there are differences in the level of popularity that was reached and how long it lasted, and also in terms of when “first run” of the show wa...

Re: TO THE BATPOLES #199: "Nora Clavicle" scripts and writing in season three
A question: Are there other Catwoman scripts not written by SRR that you're aware of and are holding out for future episodes or did he pretty much hold the monopoly on the character aside from the Sandman eps? cheers Sorry for the late response! Back in 2018 we talked about a couple of unused Catwo...

TO THE BATPOLES #201: Chip Kidd’s Book of Bat-Merch
https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/65262/BatmanCollected.jpg When the Batman TV show set off Batmania in 1966, a wide variety of toys and other tie-in items, not all of them licensed, hit the market. Since licensers seldom made style guides in the ‘60s, rights to the actors likenesses weren’t av...

Re: Who is THE expert on '66 bat-merch?
We've had to give up on having a guest for this episode - those we reached out to either declined or didn't respond, and the rest we were unable to contact. We're going ahead with recording an episode in a few days that will basically be a discussion of the Kidd book. QUESTION: Many of the '66 bat-t...

BiffPow, thanks for the info on the MINT museum (https://emint.com/ )!
