Summary
On the latest episode of Bat Bits, Paul and I move into the second half of the early draft of Rik Vollaerts' script "The Bookworm Turns"! We can see the vague outlines of this script in the broadcast version, including the use of the Bat Magnet! But does it make sense for Bookworm to steal "industrial diamonds"? And, if an implement is called a Bat Cutting Torch, wouldn't it be better for us to actually see it cutting? We also notice how this version of the script keeps repeating the same themes! Listen to Bat Bits and follow along with a PDF of the script by subscribing to our Patreon for at least $2 a month! For $4 a month, you ALSO get our monthly discussion of silver age Batman comics as Paul or another in our stable of co-hosts joins me to examine individual Batman stories from the 1950s and 60s!
