Review: Batman '66 #1


When it comes to alternate media, it's actually rather difficult to translate the exact same feeling of watching the show, film, cartoon, or whathaveyou that you're trying to replicate within the pages of a comic book. And while one would think that translating an actual property based on a comic book would be a helluvalot easier to accomplish, it's actually alot rarer than you think to get it right. Everything from the many Batman movies and animated series to the current CW hit, Arrow, has been given a comic book adaptation and it's been brought to panel-by-panel life to many varying results. While you could never really say that all of the Batman comics based off of The Animated Series were bad, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that could claim that they're just as good, or even a respectable replacement for just sitting down and watching the show. And let's face it, that's going to be the problem with anything based off of something inherently designed for an entirely different medium.

Episode 12

In which the crew find that the tensions really ARE high, as they set off on the quest to record an epic-length episode that includes topics both seen and unforseen, struggling to prepare under the guidance of the show's weekly host by talking over him on several occassions, spiritedly debating whether or not filler is killer, tackling the "Watchmen" controversy head on, and making a siege of inappropriate jokes all along the way. One of us may suffer a stroke by the end of this episode.

Topics for this week include - reviews for DC's premier Dark titles, Marvel's only real dark title, and an Image book that's almost absurdly dark, aswell as DC's "Before Watchmen" announcement, creative team shifts and switches, and finally, taking in some live fan questions.
