My favourite episodes, in addition to those listed by @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, are those with composer Christopher Drake, writers Snyder and Capullo, Stan Lee and Adam West, and Neil Adams and Denny O'Neil. I also love the commentary eps for Batman '89, Returns, Forever and Batman And Robin. And lastly, I have a lot of fun with the two eps in which Kevin reads issues of JLA and Moore's Swamp Thing out loud. In fact, those eps forced me to buy the full series of JLA and Alan Moore's Swamp Thing. Thanks to Kevin, I also bought and read Brubaker's magnificent Gotham Central, and many more books. Say what you want about Kevin Smith the filmmaker, or Kevin Smith, the guy who likes to keep the cult around him alive; this man talked me through some dark months in my life, and I'll owe him forever for that.
@Risico007, I loved that one too. Just Kevin spending hours meticulously detailing every frame of that film with increasing enthusiasm and emotion.
Yes, those were absolute great as well!
And who can forget
I get two looks from billionaires
I just realized the rest of looks from billionaires joke can’t be posted here as this is a family site but yeah those who heard the podcast know what I am referring to
Hell the whole best revenge scheme ever….
I was going through a rough and confuising time in summer of 2012 and yet that podcast was one of the first things that made me laugh
(My ex fiancé said she wanted to explore other guys before committing to me so yeah I didn’t marry her I found a girl who is better and married her instead)
I found part of the review here
Yes, those were absolute great as well!
Remember watching this way back, and enjoying the OG Batman and Superman from the DCAU going at it. I also loved that Kevin got to recite lines from The Dark Knight Returns as his Batman, since he never got the chance in the animated series. The one episode of the animated series that pays tribute to TDKR, "Legends of the Dark Knight," has the wonderful Michael Ironside as the voice instead.
I have watched the Tim Daly sketch before it is a lot of fun, definitely worth a look.
Its funny I was watching a Football show yesterday and they kept making philosophical Batman quotes (in relation to a serious matter they were discussing), there are so many great meaningful Batman lines of dialogue throughout the characters history.
Kevin Conroy.
I know little about the new game though it appears Kevin Conroy is voicing throughout the game from comment's I have read. The surprise at the end was fantastic, great ovation from the crowd.
Batman: Caped Crusader was cancelled when in production by HBO MAX, Kevin Conroy is billed as Thomas Wayne in one of the episodes on IMBD. I hope he recorded his scenes and further more another streaming service pick's the show up. I will see if I can find any further information on the animated show.
I think that was a mistake I believe he was going to be Batman for that show as well …
Personally I am still on the fence with Sucide squad kills the Justice league largely because I want to play as Batman (or night wing or robin or one of the batfamily characters) rather then just as a dc character
Even in injustice my Main character in both games is batman
When I found out that that was what Rocksteady had been working on all those years, I was incredibly disappointed.
Even at his most maniacal the Joker still captures the spirit of Christmas.

The two Michael Keaton/Tim Burton films are great. The two Schumacher directed films are awful though entertaining in that they are so bad they are good kind of way.
Fifty-seven years ago, a cultural phenomenon debuted on TV. Happy birthday Batman 66!
I wonder if Jill St. John has ever been interviewed about this role?
FYI:
March marks 55 yrs since Batman ended , dont like to think about it , its like a funeral.....sadly the show went out with a wimper , not a bang. I wouldve had Bruce & D*ck reveal their secret identities or something , i mean it was the final episode for crying out loud :/
There was plans for a 4th season for NBC. But the Batcave was bulldozed and cost a million dollars to get a new one. So NBC passed.
Sadly this seems to be an urban legend. No one has been able to find documentation of NBC's interest in taking on the show. Yvonne Craig seems to have been the first person to publicly state NBC was interested, but she prefaced her comments by saying she wasn't sure if the rumor was actually true. Producer William Dozier's papers suggest he was more interested in cranking out enough episodes to ensure the show was syndicated.
The sad thing about Batman '66 was that the higher-ups "hotshotted" the show. After the first season, which did a fine job of balancing adventure and humor and was true to the comics of the era, the show gradually turned a self-parodic product, especially after Lorenzo Semple Jr. stepped aside as showrunner. Too many episodes were cranked out too quickly and the public decided it'd seen enough of what had become a one-trick pony.
It’s interesting to speculate what a 4th season would have looked like. Would it have continued the silliness of season three, or would changing public attitudes have dictated a “darker” tone? IMO, it may have been for the best that the series ended when it did. The type of “Pop Art” that the series came to typify was really a 1965-1967 thing. By late 1968/1969 the public mood grew a bit grimmer.
I could be wrong, but those are my thoughts.
The first season of Batman worked because of its approach to the material. Many episodes were adaptations of late '50s/early '60s comics, often surprisingly close ones. Those comic book stories worked perfectly well on the page but would seem absurd if adapted with a straight-face into live-action--which is exactly what the TV show did. The humor was less in the absurdity of the material than in how seriously it was played for the camera. Adam West was the perfect embodiment of this--he was funny because he was so serious and deliberative. He could express an actor's irony toward the material without ever going over the top--like Sean Connery, he had a twinkle in his eye and relish in his voice. This enhanced the material instead of condescending to it, since his acting worked simultaneously on two levels, and this was true of the show itself.
But when the press greeted the first season of Batman as "camp," that had a negative effect on the producers and network, especially after Lorenzo Semple was no longer editing every script. The suits didn't realize that the "camp" of the first season lay in playing comic book material with a straight face. Instead they began kidding the material by making it intentional corny and exaggerated. They mistook self-parody for camp. The writers began cranking out crass burlesques of Batman comics and villains rather than adapting the real McCoys with the straight-face that had provided the show's real humor.
