Thanks Ben!

I know some Batman '66 fans like Batgirl, but she was a terrible cultural throwback at a time when TV heroines already set in motion the move toward self-sufficient, brave women usually found in movies of the period. In my opinion, Batgirl threw off the chemistry of the show. Yvonne did a good job ...

Ben,
Where's this quote from?

Actually, since we're on the topic, I need a little explanation of this Batmite show, especially the Scooby Doo segment. Is this an Adult Swim thing or something? How old is it? It's not Mystery Incorporated, but clearly wasn't made in the '70s either -- they're just pretending it was! (although tha...

Thanks. It was fun to do. Wish Laramie were a little easier to get to!

Cool! Thank!

http://deconstructingcomics.com/Batpoles/EnterBatgirl.jpg Our latest episode is essentially a double-feature! First, we discuss how the Barbara Gordon iteration of Batgirl was born, in the comics and on the screen, including the eight-minute "not for broadcast" pilot and the Season Three ...

Ben, yes, exactly. Several months on from his death, and after the outpouring of emotion at the time, it seemed more appropriate now to have a discussion about legacy -- his affect on individual lives and on the culture overall.

Thanks -- keep 'em coming. I haven't read the script yet, so I'll read your comments after I've read it!

I don't know Google Play very well, but when I looked at the site the other day, I couldn't find any of the podcasts I listen to in it. I don't even see a podcast section...

Well, GooglePlay doesn't appear to be an outlet for podcasts...

http://deconstructingcomics.com/Batpoles/archer.jpg Just posted the latest BATPOLES episode, in which we announced that the next script we'll be discussing on the show (and the first from my Laramie scanning haul) will be the first draft of "Shoot a Crooked Arrow"! As always, we're making...

http://deconstructingcomics.com/Batpoles/ourliveswithbatman.jpg In the wake of Adam West's not-so-recent passing, we felt compelled to do a "thanks for the memories, Adam" episode. But, well, every episode functions as that, so this time, we present the memories of many other bat-fans who...

No doubt there was a list of potential villains when the TV series was first being planned and the False Face name stuck out. Doesn't mean he researched the original comic character, just that the villain's name suggests the modus operandi. So still "based on" the name, if not the comic o...

That was amazing that Kandel didn't know there was a False Face in the comics until you told him! We'll have to correct all the people who have written that the TV False Face was based on the one in the comics!
