I'm getting a 404 error at that link.

I'm pretty sure the Tracy/Batman connection has been confirmed as far as rogue's galleries go. Since they were in production at the same time, I always viewed it as the equivalent of the Beatles/Stones rivalry, with each trying to outdo the other. Ultimately, Batman wins for me because his villains ...

That would make sense as we're already following the logic of traditional comic strip coloring (where black-haired people have blue highlights, as they never do in real life...except maybe at the retirement home). Dick Tracy's raincoat is always colored yellow when it's almost certainly supposed to ...

I think the costume definitely started off as black because (1) it's a color more associated with bats (you don't see many blue ones!), (2) Batman is obviously heavily inspired by The Shadow and Zorro, who both favored black and (3) the more black there is, the less you have to know about drawing wr...

Wow. Neal Adams was everything to me as a kid; any book he drew was an instant buy and any book with even a cover by him was a contender for my allowance even if the interiors were drawn by other hands (which was sadly often the case). I wanted to grow up to be a comic book artist just like him. Of ...

Interesting how Clark keeps referring to "The Batman" when the definite article had been largely absent from the comics for many years at this point, and it's not the title of the show. Also, this might be the first time I've heard a "Bingo" tossed in with the pows, zaps and zowi...

Not necessarily excited, but interested in a multiverse of Batmans (Batman? What is the plural of Batman?)

Batmen
Batsmen
Batmanity
Batmankind

Considering how many are piling up with no end in sight, we need a word for it soon.

Thanks for saying it, Andy, so I didn't have to. I like Keaton as a performer, but as others have pointed out, if Warner needs the "hook" of not just one but multiple Batmen to get people in the seats for a film supposedly about The Flash, it's fair to ask how much confidence they have in ...

"I've heard that song before, Catwoman. The last few bars are always the same. The criminal is always behind them."

Amen to that. Quick story: My dad's a retired minister and many years ago when I was still living at home a congregation member called to say she wanted to donate some of her late husband's possessions to the church. I went to pick it up and it turned out to be a remarkably comprehensive movie-makin...

Still not interested in the movie,but thought I'd mention Google is running a fun tie-in to promote it. If you use Google's search engine to look for "Bruce Wayne," "Bat-Signal" or "Gotham City," you'll get an animated gif of a swiveling bat-signal, and clicking on that...

Andy writes: This is where you guys are going off the rails, toys are for taking out of the box and displaying or playing with them. THIS is the reason I don't buy everything that comes out, I wait for stuff that really appeals to me. They always come out of the box, and briefly get displayed. But ...

Just for you, Larry, here's a fun image from some years back by artist Randy Garrett, retooling the original, painted box art from the Aurora kit so that it even more closely resembles George Reeves: http://www.jimnolt.com/graphics/WALLCRASHlarge.jpg Incidentally, this is linked from Jim Nolt's TAOS...

Robin would have made more sense, but how else to work in Two-Face but in a two-pack? Maybe this should be taken as a good sign that Robin is on the way, paired with another villain. I like them, obviously given my screen name, but I'm out of places to put this sort of thing and if I get another col...

I was another of those young fans who used to dress in a Superman suit and save the world from his backyard. Years ago, I recounted one of those adventures on my old Superman fan site: http://davidmorefield.com/superman/editorials/crazykid.htm I was pretty surprised when the American Textile Museum ...
