BatChat With Matt & Will: When Batman ’66 Met the Comic

Batman '66 Pink Cowl

Patreon backer Sam Hopper wanted to give us a nice, fun week, and we appreciate that. He requested three stories that inspired episodes of Batman ’66. There are surprisingly few episodes of that show that were adaptations, but definitely enough or an episode. But these are really short stories, so we wanted to add a little something. So on top of ranking the comics on the Big Board, we are talking about the episodes, and adding them to the Little Board. And we made a special public post over on our Patreon with of the Little Board so you can check out all the media we have ranked there before we start getting even weirder with what we’ll be adding to it this summer.

  • The Riddler (Detective Comics V.1 #140)
  • Joker’s Utility Belt (Batman V.1 #73)
  • The Mad Hatter of Gotham City (Detective Comics V.1 #230)

This week’sĀ BatChat columnĀ focuses on Detective Comics Annual 2025.

Matt Lazorwitz read his first comic at the age of 5. It was Who's Who in the DC Universe #2, featuring characters whose names begin with B, which explains so much about his Batman obsession. He writes about comics he loves, and co-hosts the podcasts BatChat with Matt & Will and The ComicsXF Interview Podcast.

Will Nevin loves bourbon and AP style and gets paid to teach one of those things. He is on Twitter far too often.
