To The Batpoles! Batman 1966Author: Tim and Paul
Like many who grew up in the '60s and '70s (and perhaps even '80s and later), Tim and Paul had the course of their lives changed by the 1966 Batman TV show, from the types of play they did growing up to their present-day interests. 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.

BAT BITS #32 NOW LIVE on Patreon: "Battyman" parody in CRACKED
Thursday, 7 May, 2026
In their years of podcasting about Batman 66, Tim and Paul have covered a number of parodies and ripoffs of the show, from MAD magazine to Batfink. But a listener has informed them of another one, b from the March 1988 issue of Cracked magazine. Even more than a year out from the 1st Michael Keaton Batman movie, interest was running high with still very little known about the film, so cast reunions and flashbacks to the '66 show were numerous. How does this parody stack up with the others we've discussed? Find out by listening to Bat Bits! Subscribe to our Patreon for at least $2 a month, or, for $4 a month, you'll get that AND 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 — most recently, Kumar and I discussed the origin of Killer Moth from BATMAN 63! So slide down your Batpole and join today!
