Yes, it’s time for another hiatus. As usual, the Monday reminders of comic-book awesomeness will continue, but the longer Thursday posts will probably only be back in the summer.
In the meantime, I leave you with a little time capsule of another era when Batman was super popular… In fact, he was so popular that people even went to the cinema to see his godawful 1943 serial (the one that was basically lampooned in Adam West’s TV show). I love all the scare quotes, suggesting the reporter’s embarassment and/or campy glee, especially when writing about the “Bat-Girls.”
