I'm actually a bit surprised by this myself, but there really weren't a lot of stories about Batman getting transformed in World's Finest. The ones that are out there are pretty wild, but they're nowhere near as common as they were in Batma…
We made a feature film that you may be interested in sharing on your blog. ‘PARODY MOVIE’ spoofs Batman, Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones and more… and we released it free on Youtube. Here is the link:http://www.youtube.com/wat…
Hi,My name is Aleksandar from batmangamesonly.com. I run this gaming site about Batman for nearly 5 years now. I see you're a true Batman fan, and I am always excited to meet new friends and new batman fans across the globe. I would like to…
Can't wait until you get to World's Finest - That book had some majorly goofy moments but was a lot of fun! At least Batman was been spared the host of indignities Supes and his entire cast suffered. In fairness, it should be noted that Jac…
I agree that Bruce/Batman not aging in the intervening 30/25 years seems to make no sense but..... Haney was teaming Rock with a character who was active during WW II. There was no definite date for the first appearance of the Earth One Bat…
I was extremely fond of Norm Breyfogle's art and indeed the entire Wagner, Grant, Breyfogle run on Detective. As I recall, this issue introduced me to Guy Fawkes Day- I wouldn't end up reading V for Vendetta for another decade. There's a pr…
I'm with you on 'Robin Dies at Dawn'. Great cover, mediocre story. Batman #23 is the only 40's Batman I own. I used to have #9, but its loss (as well as a dozen or so other 40's comics) is a sad story of parental destruction. Thanks man for…
A few of us were discussing the inspiration for the initial pair of episodes of the Batman TV show ("Hey Diddle Riddle" and "Smack in the Middle"), Batman #171 (May 1965). But there's no parallel for Molly (the Jill St John character). The
JLA #37 portrayed "The Case of the Chemical Syndicate" as Batman's first public appearance, but the conversation between Wayne and Gordon at the beginning of the story implies that the "Bat-Man" had been operating for some time before then.…
No-one, I repeat NO-ONE should ever, under ANY circumstances divulge their secret ID to Jimmy Olsen! That makes Supes a hypocrite. Jimmy is supposedly his best pal yet he doesn't trust JO with his secret ID. This had to be written under the…
Love the Sprang Batcave illustration. It's now my desktop background at work. The forties Batman stories are some of my favorites. I own a copy of Batman #23; this makes me want to dig it out of the stacks and re-read it. I'm really enjoyin…
A great post, two comments: in addition to being a best selling novel, a silent film version of Ben-Hur had actually been the top grossing movie of the 1920s, long before it was remade with Charlton Heston in the 50s. I would assume this wa…
