(I just can’t get enough of this version of the Batmobile)
Wow you found some treasures in this Silver Age mine, @Bar-El !
I’m assuming Batman put that humongous fin on the back of his car so he could figure out which car was the Batmobile when he went to the parking lot in the 50s…
The over explanations in this era used to annoy me but now I look forward to it Please Batman, recap the entire story I just read but from a slightly different perspective because otherwise how could I possibly imagine what’s going on here in my own I feel like a kid and I like it!
Wait Batman was Superman, Superman was Superman, Batman was Batman, Superman was Batman, and Superman was the villain, I’m so confused.
At least Robin was Robin and not Jimmy Olsen, I think.
Yes Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers. It’s kind of in his mission statement.
Yes folks a giant phonograph at an electronics show. It is 1955.
A stern lecture for drag racing teens? It is 1955.
Imagine this story in the last thirty years… Superman lures Batman out of Gotham City to save him from a mob trap then impersonates Batman to capture the criminals troubling “his city.” The absolute Bat Rage…
I’m trying to remember if Batman did the same thing for Superman a couple of times. We’re hoping he steps in on the radio show storyline “Super Sleuth” from 1947 we’re currently listening to.
I’m also wondering if Batman ever intervened for Superman in Metropolis to fight a villain that Superman couldn’t go near, like say a villain covered with Kryptonite.
omg wow!
