I agree. Plus it's the only two-parter I can think of with two doom-traps. That giant cookbook was a cool prop.

I wish Bookworm had been a repeat villain.

I just rewatched the episodes after listening to the podcast, and noticed something for the first time. It's never mentioned in dialogue, but there is an explanation for the way Pinky's alphabet-soup letters revert to uncooked noodles before Batman feeds them to the batcomputer in "Batman's Sat...

Thanks for setting me straight, Scott! I never got the memo, and I've been doing it the hard way.

I know obituaries aren't supposed to be amusing, but reading Ms. Merrill's send-off in The New York Times , I was struck by its observation that most of her acting roles involved characters with backgrounds similar to her own -- socialites, heiresses, philanthropists, etc. The write-up cites several...

For what it's worth, I found a plastic jar about the diameter of a soda can with a screw-on lid and covered it with black duct tape that roughly matches the plastic trim in my car. Then I used velcro tape to anchor the phone to the jar lid, and inserted the jar into the cup holder. I had planned to ...

Legion stories from the mid-60s are pure Silver Age fantasy stuff. In fact, 1966 was the year future Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter became the title's primary writer -- at the ripe age of 14! Among the innovations Shooter brought to the book was the notion of mortality and its inevitability. One...

I put mine on the desk next to my Shakespeare bust, but it just didn't look right. So I moved it to a more appropriate location.

I just found another one. In "Zelda the Great," Batman and Robin plant a bugged emerald at Hillary Stonewin's jewelry store. Hillary Stonewin is a feminized play on the name of famed gem merchant Harry Winston. The gender-swap is in keeping with Zelda herself, who was based on a male chara...

Joker's goons threw dart-like "sea urchin spines" at Batman and Robin in "Surf's Up, Joker's Under," too. They weren't especially thick, though -- they looked like pick-up sticks, or maybe uncooked spaghetti. But they "pierced" the duo's batsuits and were sticking out o...

I have no idea of its rarity or value, but I've never seen one before, so I'm glad to see the photos. Thanks for sharing them. It's a very cool remnant of the 1966 boom in bat-toys and other merch, licensed and unlicensed. My only expertise on that subject is having lived through the era as a wide-e...

If it's a round ring with 6 bat wings, I bet "Bat-O-Rang" IS the correct spelling. That description sure doesn't match any Batarang. It sounds more like a Frisbee/Aerobie-style flying toy than anything boomerang-like. It'd be great if OP could post a photo.

Cheers,

Jim

I don't know anything about Well Paid Scientists, the purveyors of this edition's cover of the Batman theme, but I bet they took their names from the Dead Kennedys tune "Well Paid Scientist."

I like it. "The Squire of Gotham"

There are probably others, but: Grace Lee Whitney played Yeoman Janice Rand on the first season of Star Trek and King Tut's jealous moll (lady-in-waiting?) Neila in "King Tut's Coup"/"Batman's Waterloo." Sherry Jackson played Andrea the (unforgettably dressed) android in the Star...
