King Tut is back - for the very last time. ALSO, The Joker is back - for the very last time. Join us as we wind down the Batman TV show on this, the second last episode of the BATMANLAND podcast. Dan and Nick discuss episodes that has King Tut discovering the location of the Bat Cave, while The Joker builds and flies a UFO. It's one heck of a pair of episodes.

Yee haw! At BATMANLAND we love to celebrate both types of villains - country and western. So, it's fantastic to see both rolled into one with the return of the cowboy Shame - this time joined by his honeybunch Calamity Jan. While both Dan and Nick have many thoughts regarding the return of Shame, their passion is outmatched by returning BATMANLAND guest Ben Nguyen. An SBS Channel Manager by day, Batman uberfan by night.

Welcome to BATMANLAND, a frank, honest discussion of the 1960s Batman TV show. This week we look at an episode that looks at the subject of feminism through what can only politely be referred to as a 1968 lens and fails badly at it. Dan and Nick try to get a handle on what the show thought it was doing. They then go on to discuss a much better episode showing the return of (and final appearance of) The Penguin.

As we close in on the final episodes of Batman, we are also saying goodbye to some of our favourite characters - like with this week as we see the final episode to feature Catwoman. Eartha Kitt as Catwoman has been fascinating from a 2018 perspective as we see how the treatment of the Catwoman character has changed with the recasting of the role with the African American actress. 1968 wasn't as progressive as we might have liked to have seen, here at BATMANLAND. Also this week, the return of Milton Berle as Louie The Lilac.

Look kids, BATMANLAND is all about context and working through the complicated cultural mire that was the 1966 Batman TV show. The show was weird - for example this week we are seeing an episode that was written to be the 2nd episode of a 3-part storyline, but reconstructed to work as an individual episode. So, Dan and Nick try to explain how they did this... and along the way get distracted by talking about The Odd Couple, Simon & Garfunkel, and more. They also discuss part one of a Joker/Catwoman team-up and try to bring some sense to it all.

It's another purr-fect outing for Batman and Robin this week with the two wrapping up in merry old Londonium fighting the mother from Mary Poppins before returning to Gotham for Eartha Kitt's debut as Catwoman. On BATMANLAND, Dan and Nick do their gosh-darn best analytical work in breaking down this week's thrilling chapters in the ongoing story of a wealthy billionaire who enjoys the feeling of wearing tights.

Cor blimey, Governor! Batman and Robin have left Gotham for merry olde England, or more specifically, the city of Londinium. They're a reverse British Invasion where they discover just how different life is across the pond - people drive on the other side of the road and they're all obsessed with fog. This week on BATMANLAND, Dan and Nick explore this brave new world the Caped Crusaders find them in. PLUS: Dan does some bat-journalism and reports from a Batman-themed wedding held in a comic book shop.

It's an eggstremely epic Batman this week with Batman and Robin joined by Batgirl as they face off against the eggcentric villain Egghead and Olga, the Queen of Cossacks. The heroes also face off against the patron saint of BDE Milton Berle for a battle over who wields the most power in Gotham.

It's a very special BATMAN:AND this week as we mark the conclusion of the Batman TV series. 120 episodes are a lot of BIFFs, BAMs, and POWs. Dan, Nick, and Fiona not only go deep in discussing the final two episodes, but they take some time to consider the series as a whole - the highlights, the many, many lowlights, and much more.
