Customer Reviews
Really great
Great podcast very interesting. I will say the theme music intro goes on for wayyyy too long and when having guest stars in the podcast the mics are pretty bad and loud so I usually skip though although I’d be interested to hear them especially since they are long more in-depth discussions
A fun analysis of a neglected era
The 1970s era of BATMAN tends to fall between two stools . It’s neither the Campy Crusader of the 1960s, nor the Frank Miller inspired Dark Knight of the 80s ( and beyond)...
But it’s my childhood era of BATMAN.
Mego Toys,Superfriends , Colorforms & Power Records kept the torch lit for Bat fans and is a worthy subject of this excellent podcast! Be nice to Bat Mite, though. He’s only trying to help!

Love it!
A total delight to listen to. Host JB knows his stuff, and it’s really cool to dive into a kind of forgotten era of Batman.
