The Adventures of Little Batman and Robin – shear genius
Imagine the 1960s Batman TV show recast with young children…
From the description on Youtube:
Based on the 1966 Batman TV series, a very young Bruce Wayne takes on the famous, pint-sized villains of Gotham City. Directed, shot and edited by Joe Valenti of Valenti Vision Films and Produced by Jordan Wachtell. In Part 1, the Dynamic [...]
Batman: Arkham Asylum
This could well be the Batman video game that we’ve all been waiting. It’s telling that one review called it a “Batman simulator.” The story opens with the Batman returning the Joker to Arkham after an incident at the Mayor’s Office, even then the Batman suspects that something isn’t right. We’re taken through the security [...]
The History of Arkham Asylum (trailer)
There is a new trailer for the Batman: Arkham Asylum videogame which recounts the early history of the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane.
Now is it my imagination or does a voice say “Rise” during that final show of Dr Arkham’s grave? Could somebody be sneaking in a Blackest Night reference?

Despite all its vainglorious hype the 1960s Batman TV has genuinely made an impression on popular culture. Even in [...]
Jerry Robinson as creative consultant
Jerry Robinson has the distinction of being one of the few high-profile first-generation Golden Age creators still working. As the creator/co-creator of a lot of Batman’s extended universe he retains a certain primal link to those times. It’s great to see that DC have hired him as a “creative consultant”, but the press release is [...]
After the Joker fish we get: the Batman fish!
A fish specialist has named his latest discovery, a type of catfish, after the Batman because of the batlike markings on its tail.
Ichthyologist Pablo Lehmann, of the Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio Grande do Sul, has named the species Otocinclus batmani in a paper in the current volume of the journal Neotropical Ichthyology.
“The name batmani, [...]
