Adam West, star of a new Fox network promotional campaign called "What's Adam West Watching," couldn't be more comfortable with comedy. This is the man, after all, who played one of the darkest crime fighters for campy laughs. "They have the Dark Knight ...

Batman first appeared in Detective Comics in 1939 and was little more than detective who wore a superhero costume.

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.

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,...
