I think Gernot is right in suspecting the TV show continuing on to season 4 would have frozen any changes in the Bat comics titles. Even a crummy Batman comic probably would sell twice as many copies if it resembles a show on TV than a great comic that doesn't. Keeping in mind that DC dutifully recr...

Really? Where on MSN does it appear?

I personally doubt thatJulie's departure was a case of outside demand for her making her unavailable (and I think any 'tired of the CW role' kind of assumes she had other offers rolling in). The Star Trek episode Friday's Child was filmed in May, 1967, so wouldn't have conflicted with appearing in '...

Yeah, the "thrust of manhood" story - a little hard to believe - made the Thursday session, also. I cringed as soon as I heard a "Piece of the Action" fight scene question coming (Seattle also lays claim to Bruce Lee as one of their own), but other than that, the stories were liv...

I'd be interested in hearing any answers that were new or questions Adam and Burt fielded that were off-the-wall. I made it to the showing of the '66 Bat film the day before Emerald City Comicon. Someone from the mayor's office was there to proclaim it Adam West day (though it partly seemed to be ba...

Yeah, another good possibility... I guess they were so in love with using Julie for season 2, that it's unlikely they decided to replace her, no matter how impressed they were with Eartha Kitt or no matter how much Batgirl changed the playing field But I love a conspiracy theory - we need to find so...

Seldom have I seen a post that required so much homework, so kudos to High C Julie was in an absurd number of episodes in season 2 - something like 10(?). Perhaps there was some agreement she would get a certan number of episodes if she continued as Catwoman, and then when it was apparent there'd be...

There's some sort of interview footage up for bid on ebay. Adam from the set, WITH sound! Just figured that I'd lay the word on the board about this. Hope this helps...

"Actor Ernest Borgnine on set"?! Anyone heard that before - I assume it is wildly wrong

I just figured Clark had been caught dipping his dipthong:)

Really? I didn't know that. Hope you don't mind? Thoughts on Steve Carel in the role? No, that's perfectly fine - it's 4theboid's plot In my mind, Mr. Personality is very much Howard Cosell as a super-villain (like Chandell is just an evil Liberace). Unless there's modern day sports broadcaster who...

Clavierankh's first question is easy to answer. Nobody would have minded Astin as the Riddler in season one - the Riddler's personality was a blank slate, at that point. The comics just had an egotistical guy who came up with riddles. This also kind of points towards the question: why wasn't Frank G...

Yeah, second the Diane McBain pick!

Pauline was elevated to a super-villainess named "Drama Queen" is several tales by Mr. Deathtrap.

This plot is so good that this is the second hypothetical Bat-season to utilize it. I begged 4theboids to let me borrow it during "season 7" of twof's site (back when people still remembered Howard Cosell). That version came out a good decade ago, so I think we can safely say this plot sta...

Queenie has my vote. Some of the first-season molls didn't seem to be so defined by their worship of the super-villain

That's an excellent point about Alfred always relying on Aunt Harriet's poor hearing! Although a main point of the TV show was to poke fun at the conventions of comic book story-telling, Alfred's procedure was an instance of television convention that could use a send-up. In the comics, things neede...
