Re: The 1966 Batman logo - as unique as it's series
The cool lettering was created for the TV logo, but the underlying image -- bat wings and Batman head -- dates back to the 40s. I was stunned when I first saw this, because the logo looks so "modern" to my eyes. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hNO98WF9Wi8/Uo2CnZxbz2I/AAAAAAACPJE/rvR-1sxd4V0/s160...

Re: Frank Gorshin and Richard Widmark
Operating on the 1966 timeline, Riddler's dad was probably in his prime, but just a little past the age of service, during WWII. So rather than a super-villain, what if Riddler's papa was something even worse: a Nazi fifth columnist and saboteur? As such, he could have trafficked in explosives, knoc...

Re: 45th Anniversary of a Baturday Morning Debut!
I loved those Filmation Batman cartoons-- starring Ted Knight, Ted Knight, Olan Seule, Kasey Kasem and Ted Knight! :) One cool offshoot was their incorporation into Sesame Street segments about safely crossing the street: I recall the Joker ignoring a "Don't Walk" signal and winding up in ...

Re: Did anyone see this?
Hadn't seen it. But here's a link to the book page at Ellison's site. Sounds interesting, to be sure.

I enjoyed this, but coming late to the party, it took more than a little scrolling to find the entry. Here's a permalink to the post: http://www.newsfromme.com/2013/09/05/te ... toteboard/

Inspiration for Shame?
The main inspiration for the character of Shame was obviously the Alan Ladd movie Shane , but an obituary I saw today makes me wonder if there also wasn't a more contemporary inspiration, which would have been familiar to Hollywood screenwriters -- and to SoCal BatFans -- during the original run of ...

Re: Batman Behind the Scenes
I love this. I think there was a link to a lower-quality version of this segment on David Sutton's original 1966 Batman fan site. Maybe I just never noticed it before, or perhaps it wasn't legible in that older clip, but I like the "U.S. and Canada Crime Computer" label in the Batcave. Was...

Re: Meaning or Reference of Robin's Quote
ITT Corp. still exists, but it's no longer in the phone business; there's no longer an "&" in its name, either, and the letters of its name are no longer initials for anything. In the 1960s, when it was still International Telephone & Telegraph, it was a peer of "Ma Bell,"...

Re: Batman beats drugs
In "Marsha, Queen of Diamonds," Batman fights off the effect of a dose of love potion administered by a dart shot from a Cupid statue. Marsha sics her goons on Batman and Robin, and during the ensuing batfight, she reloads Cupid and drugs Robin, who's too inexperienced to resist. Batman th...

Re: Why were the Chandel episodes everyone's favorite?
Aunt Harriet was added to the show as a female "chaperone," to eliminate any impression that the relationship between millionaire and teenage ward was anything but wholesome. (I'd say "platonic," but Plato approved of the kinds of relationships Aunt Harriet was there to prevent.)...

Re: My Personalized Batphone Ringtone
I use the "batspin" sting as my text message alert. The guy sitting next to me on a flight the other day recognized it right away, and said he'd have the Batman theme stuck in his head all day.
