Re: Batman Week on my blog.

Thanks for the tour. I'm not much of a collector, although I still have a few dinged-up relics from my youth. I remember seeing and coveting those gumball-machine prizes, flicker rings and Soakies. I'm pretty sure we had one of the big-head puppets, and somewhere there's a great picture of my mom sp...

Re: Name these props?

Prop #5 looks like the attachment to the Chemo Electric Secret Writing Detector that Robin used to analyze Penguin's bat-brella in Fine Feathered Finks.

Re: SCRIPT: "THE PHANTOM PHARAOH"

As the script refers to him as an "ex-Jockey", I wonder who they had in mind for the part. Yul Brenner would have been a more imposing figure than the script suggests. I wondered about that, too. This is pure speculation (I have zero evidence), but as a youth in the 1940s, Roddy McDowall ...

Re: Anatomy of a Bat-shoot, Ring Around The Riddler

This is really fun. Thanks so much for the detailed analysis. As to Madge Blake ending up on the cutting room floor, I wonder when the decision was made to drop Aunt Harriet from the featured cast and make her a guest star. If it was really because of health concerns (which certainly seem legit, giv...

Adam West Easter Egg in Nightwing Comic

This post falls somewhere in a gray area between the Bat Board and the Off-Topic Lounge. I picked the Bat Board because it'll likely get more eyeballs, but I understand completely if the admins want to move it. The latest issue of the Nightwing comic (which stars the adult Dick Grayson, who dropped ...

Re: References to sponsors in Black Widow arc?

I found this comment in a Polish-language review of the Black Widow episodes. I'm guessing the post began in English and was translated, so this is from Google's reverse-translation: This is quite an unusual episode as it contains a parody of ubiquitous TV commercials. In the first scene, the bank's...

Re: Batman's Radioactive Spray "Purr-fect Crime" prop

Cool! Lucky for Batman it didn't turn those cat statues pink. He must have been using a safer isotope than Mad Hatter did.

Re: Episode Production Order

Does anyone know whether the next week villain teasers at the end of the episodes in season 3 were filmed at the time of filming the episode they were attached too, or were just edited on the end of particular episodes at a later date (for example, would Eartha Kitt have filmed the brief appearance...

Re: Mr Freeze rifle prop question

I'm excited that you're making a freeze gun. It's probably my favorite bat-prop. I wish I had an explanation about the orange-y tint on those acrylic discs; I've wondered about it but have no idea what causes it. Your inquiry did bring to mind a long-buried memory, however, that (I promise) leads up...

Re: Dummy Lip Activator Black Widow Prop

My vote for worst prop would be Joker's magic key box. I bet that'd be fun to make, too.
