Superheroes were an American invention, at least the modern conception of them. But they have spread across the globe and taken on many forms. We've done an episode about Batman stories across the world before, but this weeks we're focusing specifically on Batman stories from Japan. We're reading the first collection of stories that spun out of the 60s Batman TV craze, a more serious tale of a killer stalking Gotham with connections to Bruce Wayne's study's in Japan and the final volume of the series where Joker raises a de-aged baby Batman. Batman: The Jiro Kuwata Batmanga Chapters 1-19 Batman: Death Mask # 1-4 One Operation Joker V.3 Check out our current ranking list at www.comicsxf.com/batchat-rankings/ Thanks to Geri Nonnewitz for our podcast logo Support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/batchatwithmattandwill

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the debut of the 1960s BATMAN TV series, Batman-On-Film.com's Javi Trujillo and BOF Founder/EIC Bill "Jett" Ramey discuss the show's  first 2-parter, "Hi Diddle Riddle/Smack in the Middle."

There's arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman.  No matter how many times he's been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City's greatest defender.  With so much Bat content out there, there's plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank!  This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman's history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break's former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight.  From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned.  Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening.It's the first podcast of 2026, and that means the first of our yearlong theme of the Eras of Batman, where each episode we'll be focusing on a key point in Batman's long history in film and television.And we couldn't think of a better first episode than what is arguably one of Batman's most important eras.  That's right, we're going back to the 60s!  This episode has been a long time coming – an entire episode focused on the glorious, iconic, and classic Adam West show from the 1960s!To help with this fantastic topic, Daniel and Kris brought a newcomer into the pod cave, Stacy Dooks, co-host of the Fanboy Power Hour Podcast!  The trio discuss every nook and cranny of this show, including major themes, Adam West and Burt Ward's iconic performances, and the Chief O'Hara of it all!  Oh, and we'll chat some villains too.That leads us to our rankings topic, because within this great discussion on the show, we had to fit in a ranking topic on these great underrated villains!If you're a fan of the 60s Batman show, this might just be your favorite episode of Batman by the Numbers Podcast!

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the 1966 Batman TV series. We've commented on this pivotal show before in passing, but it's turning 60 and we wanted to spotlight it. Plus our usual crazy talk, geek news, and tangents

A countdown, a cheer, and then a white bloom in the sky. We start with that January morning when Challenger lifted off with a teacher aboard and a nation watching, and we unpack how a routine launch became a rupture—O-rings, cold air, and the way live TV freezes time. The story isn't just technical; it's personal. Sneaking a screen at work, bargaining for a miracle, and remembering how hope hangs on for a few impossible seconds. From there, we follow the thread of wonder into a brighter palette.Cue the Batman theme. Adam West's deadpan responses and the pulpy poetry of Bam and Pow show how camp can be both silly and exacting. We dig into the Batmobile's improbable lineage—from the 1955 Lincoln Futura.Then it's a crate-dig through the Beach Boys Party album, where Barbara Ann's singalong charm and Dean Torrance's cameo capture a band between eras, loose and luminous before Pet Sounds. We jump to Elton John's Your Song and the city-streaked cinema of Dire Straits' Skateaway—drums, Roy Bittan's piano, and a roller girl writing her own movie. We also get candid about taste with Blondie's shift to The Tide Is High and Rapture.Finally, the volume tilts toward Public Image Ltd.'s Rise and the notorious Album project. “May the road rise with you” meets “anger is an energy,” a split-screen of blessing and bite, wrapped in no-frills packaging that turned the grocery aisle into a design joke.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

#477 Magic Bullet - Here's a bonus remote podcast (because we're not doing enough at the moment) with superstar actor and director and now podcast documentary (if you will pocumentary) maker, Rob Reiner. With limited time, they discuss which of his films is the greatest of all time, what you need to make a perfect improvised movie, the first toilet flush on US Prime Time TV and appearing in the Batman TV series. But mostly they talk about Rob's fascinating new podcast series “Who Killed JFK?” and the flimsiness of the official account of the assassination, why it means so much to Rob and why it's important to get to the truth. Plus what it was like sharing a duplex with Albert Brooks and the moving story of remaking the Princess Bride with his dad, Carl.Listen to Who Killed JFK? here, or wherever you get your podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/who-killed-jfk/id1714611578.See RHLSTP on tour.

Welcome back to Word Balloon — the comic book conversation show. I'm John Siuntres, and this is Part 2 of my deep-dive with the late, great Martin Pasko. As the saying goes, you don't know where you're going if you don't know where you've been. And nobody knew the road behind — or the road ahead — at DC Comics better than Marty.In this episode, we go beyond his 1970s Superman Retroactive story and dig into his role as one of DC's most trusted historians. Marty helped shape The DC Vault in 2007 and contributed key research to Taschen's massive 75 Years of DC Comics anniversary book. We cover it all — the decades of change and innovation that redefined DC's biggest icons. You'll hear wild behind-the-scenes stories, from the editorial panic caused by William Moulton Marston's risqué Wonder Woman tales, to how a young Pasko and Cary Bates were tasked with tutoring The Godfather's own Mario Puzo in Superman lore while he worked on the screenplay for the 1978 Donner film.Marty also shares the real story of how editor Julie Schwartz gave Batman a sharp new direction in 1966 — just in time to catch the eye of producer William Dozier and spark the campy but iconic Batman TV craze, and how it influenced the Joel Schumacher Batman films more than the gritty comic books.  This one's a goldmine for comic book historians and longtime Super fans.

Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz sits down with Michael Uslan, the originator and executive producer of the Batman and Batman-related movie universe, who turned his childhood passion for comic books into Hollywood gold. As an avid comic book collector and Batman superfan, Uslan is proof that following your passion pays off. He shares the story of his decade-long journey to bring a dark, serious Batman to the big screen after being horrified by the campy 1960s TV show.The Origin of Michael Uslan's Passion (07:47)Uslan reveals his "secret origin" moment: watching the first episode of the 1966 Batman TV series and making a vow like young Bruce Wayne to someday show the world the true, dark Batman.Ten Years of Hollywood Rejection (09:53)From October 1979 to the first Batman movie's release, Uslan shares how he and partner Ben Melnicker faced rejection from every studio in Hollywood.Batman's Batman (15:12)When offered the chance to make a campy Batman movie, Uslan said no. His partner Ben called him "Batman's Batman," the character's defender who would stand by his initial vision.Peter Guber Says Yes (16:15)Uslan details how former 20th Century Fox president Peter Guber became the first executive excited about his dark Batman vision, leading to a nine-and-a-half-year journey to production.Financing the Dream (22:43)Uslan explains how he quit his job when his wife was nine months pregnant and raised money by selling project shares to his network, who invested in him, not Batman.Comic Book Academic Pioneer (25:16)Uslan recounts becoming the first person to teach an accredited college course on comic books at Indiana University as a Junior, leading to national publicity and a life-changing phone call from Stan Lee.Stan Lee's Mentorship and Marvel's Debt to Batman (39:54)Uslan shares Stan Lee's revelation that the Marvel Cinematic Universe wouldn't exist without his Batman, which proved superhero movies should focus on the person.Tim Burton and Michael Keaton (40:58)Uslan describes discovering Tim Burton through Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Burton's genius decision to cast Michael Keaton, initially against Uslan's wishes.Uslan demonstrates persistence, vision, and the courage to say no when protecting something he believed in. His journey from comic book collector to Hollywood producer offers insights into passion-driven success, handling rejection, and the importance of having people who believe in you.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share. We look forward to bringing you more behind-the-scenes revelations next time on Don't Kill the Messenger. Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Michael UslanProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment) For more info about Michael Uslan:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_E._UslanIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0882388/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaeluslan/?hl=en For more info about Kevin Goetz:Website: www.KevinGoetz360.comAudienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, & Substack : @KevinGoetz360LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz

Dinner dinner dinner dinner! Etc. Announced just six months before it landed in cinemas, the much-loved 1966 production Batman: The Movie was a masterclass in moving fast. Shot while the first series of the Batman TV show was still playing, it was written in two weeks, filmed in a month, and premiering in Texas as a result of some help with a boat... Also filmed in a month? Jason Reitman's 2011 feature Young Adult, starring Charlize Theron. Written by Diablo Cody, Reitman was all set to go with a different film until the Young Adult script came in. Even then, he had a key condition to getting the movie made. Stories of both are told in this episode... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As an all around athlete, strong in martial arts, wrestling, track, tennis and golf, combined with a sharp intellect, playing "first board" in chess for Beverly Hills High School, achieving the top 3% in the U.S. in math and science tests at UCLA, and becoming the world's fastest reader - Burt tested before the American Medical Society in Beverly Hills, California and was clocked at 30,000 words per minute with 90% comprehension (the average reader reads 240 words per minute with 40% comprehension). Burt was featured in an article entitled, "Will the Real Boy Wonder Please Stand Up" and subsequently appeared on the national television educational show "Read Right."  After signing with a Hollywood agent, Burt's first interview was set up at 20th Century Fox Studios, and a few weeks later, Burt was called back for a screen test with Adam West. Holder of a brown belt in karate at the time, Burt showed off his athletic ability for the producers by demonstrating some falls and tumbles, and even broke a one-inch pine board with his hand.  Burt was friends with Bruce Lee. A special piece of movie trivia is that Bruce Lee's first filmed fight scene of his career was fighting Burt Ward.  Executive Producer William Dozier commented about Ward's tall size in comparison to Adam West, and the new Boy Wonder prospect replied, "I promise you, sir, I won't grow anymore." Dozier laughed and told Burt that he would hold him to that. It wasn't until six weeks after the screen test that Burt learned that he had won the coveted role of Robin, the Boy Wonder in the new "Batman" TV series for ABC-TV. He was everything they wanted. All he had to do was just be himself. Batman Was an Overnight Sensation!   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Author and researcher Lon Strickler will join us tonight to discuss reports of a winged creature in the Chicago skies.The presence of strange winged beings is as old as the human imagination. In the late Summer of 2011, reports of Mothman-like flying humanoids began to surface in the city of Chicago. After three brief sightings, there were no further accounts. Then, unexpectedly, in early 2017, a smattering of encounters emerged from different locations throughout the Chicago metro area until fifty sightings were reached before the end of the Summer. Why Chicago? Why now? This book will examine the witness accounts and the investigator's thought processes as these incidents were brought to our attention. The sightings continue… but we are determined to find the truth. In West Virginia folklore, the Mothman is a humanoid creature reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area from November 15, 1966, to December 15, 1967. The first newspaper report was published in the Point Pleasant Register, dated November 16, 1966, titled "Couples See Man-Sized Bird ... Creature ... Something".[1] The national press soon picked up the reports and helped spread the story across the United States. The source of the legend is believed to have originated from sightings of out-of-migration sandhill cranes or herons.[2][3]The creature was introduced to a broader audience by Gray Barker in 1970,[4][5] and was later popularized by John Keel in his 1975 book The Mothman Prophecies,[6] claiming that there were supernatural events related to the sightings and a connection to the collapse of the Silver Bridge. The book was later adapted into a 2002 film starring Richard Gere.[7]An annual festival in Point Pleasant is devoted to the Mothman legend.[8] On November 15, 1966, two young couples from Point Pleasant—Roger and Linda Scarberry and Steve and Mary Mallette—told police they had seen a large white creature whose eyes "glowed red" standing at the side of the road near "the TNT area," the site of a former World War II munitions plant.[9][10][11] Linda Scarberry described it as a "slender, muscular man" about seven feet tall with white wings and said that she could not discern its face due to the hypnotic effect of its eyes.[12] Distressed, the witnesses drove away at speed and said the creature flew after their car, making a screeching sound. It pursued them as far as Point Pleasant city limits.[9]Other people reported similar sightings during the next few days after local newspapers reported it. Two volunteer firemen who saw it said it was a "large bird with red eyes." Mason County Sheriff George Johnson commented that he believed the sightings were due to a huge heron he termed a "shitepoke." Contractor Newell Partridge told Johnson that when he aimed a flashlight at a creature in a nearby field, its eyes glowed "like bicycle reflectors." Additionally, he blamed buzzing noises from his television set and the disappearance of his German Shepherd dog on the creature.[2] Wildlife biologist Robert L. Smith at West Virginia University told reporters that descriptions and sightings all fit the sandhill crane, a large American crane almost as tall as a man with a seven-foot wingspan featuring circles of reddish coloring around the eyes. The bird may have wandered out of its migration route and was unrecognized initially because it was not native to this region.[2][3]Batman and his antagonist, Killer Moth, are varyingly cited as influences for the term "Mothman."Due to the popularity of the Batman TV series at the time, the fictional superhero Batman and his rogues gallery were prominently featured in the public eye. While the villain Killer Moth did not appear in the show, the comic book influence of both him and Batman is believed by some to have influenced the coinage of the name “Mothman” in the local newspapers.[13] Do you frequently miss episodes of Mysterious Radio?

But the information is good, and it is presented in an entertaining fashion.  So its decent, but I would recommend you see if you can just borrow it from the library instead of purchasing.  Wells, John.  American Comic Book Chronicles: 1960-1964.  Raleigh: Two Morrows, 2015.  Not cheap, but a fantastic series that is informative and fun to read.  Wright, Bradford.  Comic Book Nation: The Transformation of Youth Culture in America.  Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001.  This is the revised edition.  Marvel Year By Year: A Visual History.  New York: DK Publishing, 2022.  The academic in my rails at using information from any work that doesn't have an author credit, but this is a decent (if very surface) look at each year in the history of Timely / Marvel from 1939 to 2021.    Cowsill, Alan et al.  DC Comics Year by Year: A Visual History.  New York: DK Publishing, 2010.  Because its nice to occasionally take a peek at what the Distinguished Competition is up to.  Dauber, Jeremy.  American Comics: A History.  New York, W.W. Norton & Company, 2022.  An excellent, relatively compact history of the domestic comic industry from its 19th century origins through to recent 21st century developments.  An excellent successor to Bradford Wright's Comic Book Nation.

Following the December 15, 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge and the death of 46 people, the incident gave rise to the legend and connected the Mothman sightings to the bridge collapse. According to Georgian newspaper Svobodnaya Gruziya, Russian UFOlogists claim that Mothman sightings in Moscow foreshadowed the 1999 Russian apartment bombings. The Mothman Prophecies (2002) is a major motion picture, loosely based on the 1975 book of the same name by John Keel. In 2016, WCHS-TV published a photo purported to be of Mothman taken by an anonymous man while driving on Route 2 in Mason County. Science writer Sharon A. Hill proposed that the photo showed "a bird, perhaps an owl, carrying a frog or snake away" and wrote that "there is zero reason to suspect it is the Mothman as described in legend. There are too many far more reasonable explanations."

But mostly they talk about Rob's fascinating new podcast series “Who Killed JFK?” and the flimsiness of the official account of the assassination, why it means so much to Rob and why it's important to get to the truth. Plus what it was like sharing a duplex with Albert Brooks and the moving story of remaking the Princess Bride with his dad, Carl.Listen to Who Killed JFK? here, or wherever you get your podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/who-killed-jfk/id1714611578.See RHLSTP on tour.
