Holy Having a Headline Contain the Word "Holy" In It, Batman!
Mike reminds me that today is the 40th Anniversary of the Willaim Dozier version of the Batman television show, starring Adam West and Burt Ward as the Dynamic Duo. Mike's written a lot of posts on the subject that you can find through the link I just gave you and they are all worth reading. He's even linked to some other great places on the web to get your fill of The Biff Bam Pow.
Scipio's post inspired by the anniversary is good reading. He contemplates the idea of a mythic hero's transformation throughout time. The Internet is often used for people to vent their outrage at the latest changes to their favorite characters in a fury of insults and bad grammar but Scipio take a thoughtful look at both sides the idea.
For some real Adam West fun you can now watch the pilot for Lookwell the show written by Robert Smigel and Conan O'Brien that's got West as a washed-up actor who solves mysteries. So funny no network dared pick it up.

Thanks for everyone who responded to this post about returning to comics. If you haven't already don't be afraid to contribute. Since Haloscan doesn't keep comments I think I might archive them somewhere and come up with a post on what people wrote. We'll see.
