This was an interesting podcast. Attorney Jim Dedman had many fascinating things to say about how '66 Batman was often off the mark in terms of legal issues.
I'll admit it was disappointing to me that Siren wasn't referenced. I would liked to have heard Mr. Dedman's thoughts on how someone with Siren's powers would be treated by the legal system. In fact, she was one of the few villains to note the heroes (Robin and Batgirl) were trespassing and in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Oh, well.
Speaking of missed opportunities, I agree with him that it would have been fun to make the Catwoman/Joker trial much longer on screen. He made a lot of excellent points about both trials, including what a terrible trial attorney '66 Batman is.
Dedman also was enlightening about how Riddler already had the lawsuit ready beforehand, which was unethical. I also had no idea Alfred impersonating an attorney could be excused because it could be argued it was necessary because others were in danger.
Oh, and I was surprised Tim forgot about Batman endorsing the check in the Joker arc (
bad check nananananananana, bad check nananananananana).
