When I was a kid in the 90s and early noughties watching the TV show in syndication here in the UK on channels such as TCC and FX289, I always lost a slight bit of interest and never really liked the first few arcs of Season 2. During syndication at that time, they tended to show the run in producti...

Hi gang, Just a query regarding the use of Catwoman in the Dr Cassandra episode of Season 3. Is it known why they decided to use a lookalike resembling Newmar for this episode, even though Kitt had taken over the role at this point? Was this to do with the debacle at the White House in January of 19...

Thanks Ben, that's just the answer I was looking for. I always assumed that the DVDs were remastered into HD, but just not as good high def as the Blu Ray version. So for 10 years I've been watching and re-watching the series in standard def ! I never knew until recently that the streaming option re...

Hi All, I'm getting close to my next re watch of the whole series, having not done a full run for about 4 years! Every time I do a watch, I play my DVD boxset which I purchased back in 2014. However, this time, I'm wondering whether to do something a bit different and purchase the series on Amazon P...

Just a heads up for any fellow UK batfans out there. Talking Pictures have began showing the series every Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. This is a channel you can access on Freeview. They have just shown the first set of Joker episodes. I know we have the boxset now but it is nice to see thi...

Really enjoyed listening to this and looking through those call sheets! I could be wrong but I'm guessing Ben could confirm as from the UK - which is when Batman was broadcasted in the early/mid 00's (I think it was) on the cable channel FX (now Fox) they aired the second season in some random orde...

Ben and Scott - brilliant video. A very interesting watch. It's exactly the kind of stuff i wanted to know. Whilst watching them in production order, I've been thinking whilst watching a particular scene, that at the same time, shooting with another guest villain would be going on not too far away. ...

Thanks dell i never thought of it like that. I assumed they shown the first Joker arc before Zelda as Joker was a more well known villain, especially as the show had just started. I know they filmed the Penguin's Nest episodes before any others of season 2, opting to air these episodes much further ...

Hi All, I'm currently having a whole series watch, and have decided to watch the episodes in production order this time. Does anyone know why the production order of the episodes differs so much from the airdate order? Why show King Tut's Coup/Batman's Waterloo before the Black Widow episodes for ex...

Hi guys, Not logged on here for a while. However, with the lockdown continuing here in the UK, I have recently turned to my old friend, the Batman TV series DVD box set, to cheer me up! :D After not watching for probably a couple of years now, i'm loving it all over again! So i thought i'd get a new...

LittleLouisGroovy, that's one of the queries I was going to mention. It's always interested me, even as a kid, why they went for a Julie Newmar lookalike as opposed to Eartha Kitt, when Kitt had played the character just 7 episodes before. I'm guessing it was easier for them to get someone who looke...

That's interesting that it looked as though Preminger was going to resume the role in season 3. I agree with AndyFish that the character was a more expensive villain in terms of the make-up, costume and overall set design. Maybe Dozier took this into account and they didn't think it worth it, especi...

Hi guys, So, Season 3 is probably my best season (I know that's the complete opposite to a lot of people :D) It's the first season I watched when I was a young kid, and I think my first introduction to Batman as a character, so naturally I have more of a soft spot for these episodes. Few things abou...

So, I contacted Channel 4 and got this response; 'We have checked our schedules and have found that the first episode of the Batman series was broadcast on the 16th of August 1993. There were 120 episodes and the final episode was broadcast on the 22nd of August 1995' Looks like my memories served m...

Yep that’s the one!!! That advert was awesome. Got me proper excited haha. They shown the first season like 3 times. They didn’t actually get to the third season until about the October as I remember. But that was a great time. I remember those timelife adverts vividly. With the black and white clip...
