I'm Not a Fan, But... Batman #251 (1973)

Greetings, Good Gothamites! It is I, Frank of the non-Bat Believers. Here I am once again to give a non-fan's perspective and desecrate the name of Caped Crusader whose image is printed all over those flanel pajamas you're wearing! (Very becoming, by the way.) In case you missed it, last time I talked about my introduction to Batman with the 1966 Adam West feature film. This time around, I've been given an assignment by the man with the bearded FAC3: Batman #251 a.k.a. The Joker's Five Way Revenge! It's a classic tale of the Joker's merciless ways and Batman's perseverance in chasing him down.

I'm Not a Fan, But... Batman (1966)

Well hey there, Gotham! The name’s Frank. I’ve been a follower of the Gotham Podcast (or Gotham Central, or Gotham Inc., or Got Ham, or whatever they’re calling it this week) since it first began, and it’s a pleasure to finally be writing a column for the site! Growing up, I never considered myself a Batman fan. Superman always was and always will be my favorite hero. Take a moment to absorb it. Pick up those Batarangs you just threw at your screen. Feeling better? Ready to move on? Good!

Age of TV Heroes

Hey there Gotham,

This didn't quite make it to the podcast, but I did want to let you all know that Age of TV Heroes HC is on it's way to some comic shops and books stores this week. It is not being published by DC Comics, but does feature some of our favorite DC Heroes including Batman!

Here is the full description:

"Age of TV Heroes examines the history of the live-action television adventures of everyone's favorite comic book heroes! This volume features the in-depth stories of the actors and behind-the-scene players that made the classic super-hero television programs we all grew up with. From The Adventures of Superman and Batman to The Tick and Smallville, it's colorfully presented in vivid detail, lavishly designed with a bevy of color photographs. Included are new and exclusive interviews and commentary from Adam West (Batman), Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman), William Katt (The Greatest American Hero), Jack Larson (The Adventures of Superman), and many more. "

If you are interested in this book, and I know I am, you can pick it up from Amazon.com!
