  • From the Files of the Batcomputer #51: Legends of the Superheroes
    Dec 25 2022

    A group of super villains have set a doomsday device to go off in one hour and the superheroes must find it before it's too late.  

    ​John and writer Jim Beard and filmmaker Robert Long are in the Batcave this Christmas Day and discussing the two episode series of specials featuring Adam West, Burt Ward and Frank Gorshin reprising their classic Batman 66 roles.  The first episode is an actual story, of sorts.  The second episode is a roast.  Seriously, it's a roast of the heroes by the villains.  In this episode, we look at the casting of heroes for this team, the lack of real action, and the range of Frank Gorshin.
