The series was never strictly for children, and long before the Dozier series, TV series such as The Adventures of Robin Hood (ATV, 1953-59), various cartoons and the well-syndicated 1938 Flynn movie appealed to / were watched by children. Let us not forget the fact number of kids who read comics a...

Good things in the Archer episodes: Adding "eth" with a different font to the fight FX. The idea of a villain using taped crowd noise. Alfred using a bow and arrow. SRR's a funny writer, presumably there's some witty lines in this script but I'm not going back to watch it anytime soon. Bad...

He’s best remembered as the Gotham City Police Department’s Commissioner Gordon, the Dynamic Duo’s #1 cheerleader. Listen here I recently re-watched some episodes and found myself enjoying the Gordon office scenes quite a bit more than usual.I don't know if Neil Hamilton had been burned out by the ...

Good luck with your book! Not just with the writing but after - may you have much success!

I posted this in another topic but figured I could repost it here. http://www.66batman.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=75345#p75345 Thanks for sharing your picks. Londinium Trilogy----a mix of nostalgia of where I was when I first saw them plus the following qualities: the exotic environment, a lot of ou...

---After some time, I figure unless Ellis St. Joseph and whomever connected to Batman were some disgusting perverts, Sleeping Beauty was never intended to be perceived as Sandman's daughter and the line was meant to be funny. ---And speaking of funny, for the first time I caught a bit of subtle Mich...

chrisbcritter wrote "No other way to say it - Sandman's pimping out his own daughter after perhaps turning her into a sleepwalker. Nasty stuff (and one of the reasons for the rewrite?)." I could be wrong I think more likely this is a play on words on the concept of a father walking his bri...

Jim, I really appreciate both your breakdown of the draft and how well written your assesment is...! Good points about Batman on the subway and when he gets more intense when Robin's in danger. Sure, I think the Alf-Cycle is hilarious and I enjoy when he gets a larger role in an episod and the way A...

Some more thoughts: While I don't care for the police force turning against the Dynamic Duo plot the writing in this sequence is again well done and O'Hara's line about his "own foot" crack me up. With the sleepwalker threat and the entire wide open nature of dreams, Sandman could've been ...

https://deconstructingcomics.com/Batpoles/Sandman.jpg Next month's TO THE BATPOLES podcast episode will look at Ellis St. Joseph's first draft of "The Sandman Cometh" Good day! Thanks for posting this. It would be fun to see the revised versions introducing Catwoman at some point if doabl...

A question: Are there other Catwoman scripts not written by SRR that you're aware of and are holding out for future episodes or did he pretty much hold the monopoly on the character aside from the Sandman eps? cheers Sorry for the late response! It's fine, I appreciate the sentiment but no apology ...

I may have more to say on this later. first, thanks for sharing another treatment. I was excited to take a look though the title isn't that catchy. To be fair maybe it was just a placeholder title. Hmm...what's good here? The concept. A villain who uses painting as a motif opens up some possibilitie...

This is a very good point. I think, to a degree, they tried doing different things with the formula in the 2nd season. Ma Parker---Criminals wanting to be arrested, villaiin's hide-out in jail, the speed based bomb death-trap. Chandell---Giving Aunt Harriet a larger role. Darn Catwoman---Robin being...

Could be also that having a way for them to contact each other would lead to the next step which would be sharing their identities and they weren't sure if they wanted to do it yet. Maybe they figured they hadn't spent enough time having Batman and Robin end every adventure by noting Batgirl's disap...

I think it would've been too much, Forget the logistics regarding the stuntman or Adam, it would've been another pointless denigration of the character.
