In this series, they discuss the show's allure and its failures, the arc of the show from satire to sitcom, its influences (the '40s serials and the comic books themselves) and the things it, in turn, influenced.

Nancy Northcott joins us once again to discuss women on Batman . This time, we're focusing on the Egghead/Olga team-up episodes. Are they as full of sexism as we'd expected from a 1967 TV show? What do we make of the leggy babe technician at the Radium Center? Is crime fighting \"better left to the men\"? What's implied by Batgirl 's \"Sixth sense\"? And other general observations about \"The Ogg and I\", \"How to Hatch a Dinosaur,\" and \"The Ogg Couple.\" Subscribe to our Patreon for $2 a month for bi-weekly examinations of Batman 66 on BAT BITS , or, for $4 a month, get that AND our monthly discussion of silver age Batman comics, as Paul or another in our stable of co-hosts joins Tim to examine individual Batman stories from the 1950s and '60s — most recently, Tim and Patrick discussed \"The Vanished Batman\" from BATMAN 101! So slide down your Batpole and join today!","meta_description":"Here is an audio promo of our latest episode! Nancy Northcott joins us once again to discuss women on Batman .
