Summary

Lorenzo Semple, Jr. , is the writer entrusted by producer William Dozier with getting the writing side of Batman off the ground. This time, we take a look at a letter from Semple to Dozier, in which he discusses his plans for the script of "Zelda the Great" , a template for Bat-scripts, concerns about Adam West 's acting style, and more.
