Batman first appeared in Detective Comics in 1939 and was little more than detective who wore a superhero costume. Batman's powers evolved along with the character through the years, eventually ending up on prime-time tv on the ultra-campy BATMAN (1966) tv show starring Adam West and Burt Ward. The popularity of this show eventually led to the creation of the first animated Batman series, Filmation's...

If I were to compile a list of my favorite TV dads, John Robinson of Lost in Space would be high on my list. He was strong, brave, understanding and he did all he could to raise his children right. Manners are important, even if there is a two-headed swamp monster headed for the ship, you don’t interrupt mommy and daddy when they’re talking. When it came to playing John Robinson, the fatherly...

Leatherface Portions of the classic horror film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre were based on the crimes of serial killer Ed Gein, but the trademark Leatherface mask was inspired by a far more personal (and [...]

A while back I posted some photos on Facebook from a childhood visit with Burt Ward, Robin from the 60's Batman TV show. He'd come to town to make an appearance and sign autographs. I'd shared that my autographed photo I'd gotten that day had...... mysteriously disappeared. My sister and brother both still had theirs, but mine was gone. After I posted that, I decided to see if I could find the photo...

Hoo-boy. Let me tell you, it ain't easy to get back into the semi-regular posting after a vacation filled with cloudy weather, chowdah and almost no Internet access. And have I mentioned that I visited H.P. Lovecraft's grave? IN THE RAIN?! 'Cause I did. Aaaaaaanyway, I haven't even really had a chance to catch up on my comic book reading yet ...

When I was a child, I wanted to be Batman. And by that I mean the Adam West variety, not the johnny-come-lately versions played by Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton and others. I begged my mum and dad for the T-shirt,...

Yesterday, Batman: The Brave and the Bold returned with an episode guest starring Jack Kirby's OMAC. I was surprised anyone even thought about using the character, and I think it's part of what makes this show so special in the history of DC's Warner Bros.-animated series. There was also an episode back in June with Batman traveling into the future and teaming up with Kamandi to fight Gorilla Grodd...

I have just asked my twitter friends what I should blog about today. That's the list I got. Let's start from the top. Batman. Batman is the coolest thing ever invented. I have loved Batman since birth, I mean, what family doesn't raise their kid with a rounded appreciation of the Bat? But the '89 Tim Burton movie solidified my love into a personality-forming-moment. I am a lot of who I am because of...
