Episode Details

This week, discussion of the Riddler pilot arc concludes with discussion of the series tropes already on display at this early stage (and a few that aren't); the impracticality of cliffhangers; Burt Ward's versitility; is the Batmobile alive, or just really cool? We've even got some music! Shall we dance the Batusi?

Also, a few other series influenced by, or ripoffs of (what's the distinction?), Batman; and, did the Batman TV show save the character from obscurity?
