"Chessman Building" window ledge

Rewatching "The Riddler's False Notion" and Robin's bite-the-batarang rescue, it occurred to me that the window ledge from which Riddler pushes Robin looks like the same one that the Man of Steel saved Lucy from in the "Lucy and Superman" episode of I love Lucy. I suppose it was ...

Re: Regarding the Surfing Episode...

I'm excited for the bat-locations book too. And after seeing these pics, I may be equally excited for a "behind-the-book" making-of documentary. :)

Re: Baltimore Comic Con Meetup?

I've seen some pics from Baltimore on Walter Simonson's Facebook feed. He and weezie always draw a crowd, and it looks like they had fun and also re-connected with Allen Milgrom and Howard Chaykin. How did the con go for you, Andy?

Re: Johnny Green Dies

I just noticed the "Chemo Sucks" ball cap in the photos from Walla Walla. I'm sorry to hear he's gone, but glad he's free from pain. R.I.P.

Re: When were Adam and Burt on the Merv Griffin Show?

Thanks for the clip, Ben. Maybe the July '67 IMDB link I found was for a rerun, because the female guest Merv and our heroes are bantering with is indeed Gwen Verdon. She must've been plugging her appearance in Sweet Charity, since the "Charlie" tattoo the heroine sports in that play is ob...

Re: When were Adam and Burt on the Merv Griffin Show?

I found this IMDB entry for July 20, 1967. As you note, clips have been posted before but are no longer available.

Female guests on the episode included Gwen Verdon, Lainie Kazan and Charo (whose voice I'm guessing you'd have recognized).

Re: Nic Cage wants to play Egghead

A bonkers Cage take on Egghead could be the Batman villain we all deserve. :)

If campy horror schlock floats your boat, I highly recommend 2021's "Willy's Wonderland," in which a silent(!) Nic takes on a possessed platoon of animatronic mascots in a Chuck E. Cheese-style pizza joint.

Re: Any questions for SUSAN SILO?

Your question got me wondering about when this episode was shot and sadly I don't have any paperwork from this specific episode. (I have big holes in my S1 archives). But we do know that this episode was Prod #8711... The episode prior to this in production order was #8709 (Joker Is Wild) and I do ...

Re: Any questions for SUSAN SILO?

Congratulations on landing another member of the bat-cast as an interview subject. Here are a few potential questions for Susan Silo: Her episodes aired in the series' sixth week, as Batmania was gaining steam: Had she seen any episodes of Batman before she arrived on set to to shoot her appearance?...

Re: Batman " caped Crusaders" Express

It sounds like the guy in the video said he paid $40 for the Batmobile flatcar back in December, so prices have more than doubled? Holy inflation!

He's obviously a model train enthusiast already, so maybe his set didn't include the "free" track and controller?
