Holy extravaganza! Holy eventuality! Holy camped cape crusaderness! Holy remastered HD! Holy, holy, holy, holy! Gosh Batman!
Robin said 'holy' an awful lot in the 60's Batman TV series whilst clenching his fist in his gloved hand. It was one of the things that the show was remembered for among many other tropes. Fans of the show longed to see the series released on DVD and blu-ray and a few weeks ago they finally had their prayers answered as the complete series is now available to purchase. So what better time to write about it?
Contains spoilers!
Here we go! The concluding part to Bookworm's story. Will Batman's identity be revealed?
The issue starts with Batman and Robin trying to decipher Bookworm's next move with the word 'Strike' and Robin figures it out as a matchbook, you strike a match against a matchbook. Bit of a Riddler moment going on here. Anyway this leads them to the 'Dicken's Match Boutique' which Bookworm plans on striking.
Ok so no prizes for guessing who the villain is in this weeks issue- The Bookworm! A villain who is obsessed with books and reading. He reminds me of a friend of mine who reads quite a lot of books and can get through several a week where as it usually takes me a year to finish one!
I better keep a close eye on him actually...
Holy retro comic book fan Batman!
Since July a digital comic book series called Batman 66 has been released every Wednesday on Comixology.com which I've been reading. It's based on the camp 60 series starring Adam West and Burt Ward and so far has been entertaining and quite enjoyable. The comic has villains that appeared in the show and some comical storylines.
