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. The 1966 Batman show is 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.

Gotham's most fearsome villain The Black Widow strikes, robbing the city's banks in alphabetical order. As Dan and Nick discuss the show on this week's episode, they marvel at how toothless Black Widow is as a villain, that the show must have been thrilled to have guest Tallulah Bankhead guest starring, and that the show did revel in casting older guest stars.

Do you remember that time Bruce Lee was in the Batman TV show? It was more than a blink and you'll miss it moment. In a cross-over with the 60s Green Hornet TV series, Lee appears as the hero's assistant Kato. In this week's BATMANLAND, Dan and Nick explore what the Green Hornet even was and question why Lee was so under-used on screen.

Despite the funny books in Batman this week, it isn't all funny business in this week's Batman. After all, the Joker is littering Gotham with funny money and there was the absolutely not-funny at all business of what he placed in Commissioner Gordon't pants.

Ohmon chéri, Gomez Addams himself John Astin has taken over as The Riddler for this special 2-part episode in which the people of Gotham celebrate Batman's anniversary. The BATMANLAND team give the occasion the due respect it deserves.
The pictures didn't get small, the stars just got big. And there was no bigger star than Batman.
With this 3-part episode, The Penguin (Burgess Meredith) opens a movie studio bankrolled by Marsha Queen of Diamonds (The Addams Family star Carolyn Jones). Of course Batman stars in their first movie because that is the only logical way this story could go.
On the BATMANLAND podcast, Nick Bhasin & Dan Barrett go in deep in discussing these three episodes.
Get ready for your close-up, Batman! The Penguin has started a movie studio and has Batman starring in his first picture. How will Batman perform alongside his co-star, Marsha Queen of Diamonds?

When the Batman TV show started airing in 1966, it aired half-hour installments on Wednesday and Thursday nights with an 'epic' cliff-hanger on the Wednesday night encouraging viewers to watch the next night. In the second season on 11 January 1967, Batman did something different. It started the first night of a 3-part episode.
THAT'S RIGHT, BAT FANS, A 3 EPISODE STORY-LINE COMPLETE WITH TWO CLIFFHANGERS!!!!
(In one of the cliffhangers, Robin is almost eaten by a giant clam. No, really.)
Could any one villain be fiendish enough to keep Batman and Robin from justice for a full 3-chapter story? Heavens no. For this, the show teamed-up The Joker and The Penguin to try and stop the Dynamic Duo.
In a special treat for Batman fans, SBS aired all three parts on the one night, so there was no waiting to find out if Batman & Robin were able to make it out of a death-trap at the end of part 2. Imagine having to wait an entire week to find out? Productivity around the nation would be halted by anxious viewers unable to focus on anything else.
On the BATMANLAND podcast this week, Dan & Nick chat with Chris Feggans, a returning BATMANLAND guest and a member of the Programming team who explains the very deep thinking and organisational Ninjitsu that goes into scheduling three episodes of Batman on the one night.

One of the biggest stars from the 60s Batman series was Frank Gorshin, who played The Riddler. Following his time in the first season of the show and his featured role in the 1966 Batman movie, Gorshin understood how popular he was and wanted to be compensated appropriately. But the producers weren't so keen to open their purse. Instead, throughout season 2 there were a number of scripts written to feature The Riddler, but they had to be altered at the last moment when they couldn't get Gorshin.
This is one of those episodes. Appearing for the first and only time on the show is Maurice Evans as The Puzzler. Basically, he's exactly the same as The Riddler, only without the green spandex costume.
Joining Dan and Nick to discuss these episodes is their pal and SBS PopAsia host Andy Trieu.
Stay tuned for the end of the episode where we grill Andy Trieu about the changing face of K-Pop. It's a fascinating chat.
Riddle me this: What happens if you can't use The Riddler due to a contractual dispute with an actor? Enter: The Puzzler.

Hey Bat-fans, the feline fink Catwoman is back in Gotham and this time she's stealing voices. A devilish crime to be sure, but the stakes are high with British Invasion popstars Chad and Jeremy in town. If they were to fall prey to Catwoman's nefarious scheme, not only would Gotham's teenagers be upset, but it would damage international relations.
Helping us unpack this thrilling adventure on BATMANLAND this week is our pal Ben Skinner, joining Dan and Nick.
Has The Penguin gone straight (yet again)? In this thrilling instalment, The Penguin has embraced his inner Gordon Ramsey and opened a restaurant for the wealthy citizens of Gotham. But, what is his scheme?
Joining BATMANLAND this week to discuss the show is returning guest Mick Rad who sits down with Dan and Nick to make sense of the episodes, taking a few diversions to ponder John Grisham films of the 90s and the outrageous cost of a bunch of Valentines Day flowers.
Great Scott! Gotham has a new celebrity chef - the feathered fink of crime, The Penguin!
Pew! Pew! This week Batman goes west with a storyline heavily influenced by the Academy Award nominated western Shane. These days the film Shane is best known for its influence on modern western-inspired films like 2017's Logan.
Joining us in the BATMANLAND cave is Filmink news editor Travis Johnson to give some perspective on Shane and westerns generally.
Morticia Addams herself, Carolyn Jones, makes her Batman debut this week as the very charming Marsha Queen of Diamonds. Join Dan, Nick, and Fiona on this week's BATMANLAND as they deep dive into a fun Bat episode.
What an episode! This week The Joker develops technology that enables him to bend space and time. In the episode they claim it is hypnotism, but the panel on BATMANLAND know better. Trying to make sense of this week's episodes is regular hosts Dan and Nick, but joined by Mick Rad. Mick is best known to Sydney radio listeners as the host of Drive on 2SER every Wednesday, but in his off time he spends much of it thinking about Batman.
1966 Batman has a complicated relationship with Mister Freeze - they could never bring an actor back to play the role more than once. This week on BATMANLAND we explore the casting of badly behaved famed director Otto Preminger who appeared as Mister Freeze in this week's two-parter.
Sitting in the BATMANLAND cave this week is Dan Barrett & Fiona Williams, joined by the SBS Channel Manager Ben Nguyen who is armed with terrible Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mister Freeze impersonations. But please, don't hold that against listening in this week.
Up for discussion is the season 2 episodes Green Ice and Deep Freeze.
American politics has never been more vital than the infamous 1966 Batman v Penguin mayoral race. While the Penguin runs a cynical campaign, queuing up as many babies as he can to kiss, Batman puts too much faith in the voters and not the polls. An electoral defeat is nigh for the caped crusader.
Joining Dan and Nick in the Batmanland caves is film critic and culture writer Sarah Ward.
Episodes: Hizzonner the Penguin - 2 Nov 1966 Dizzoner the Penguin - 3 Nov 1966 Broadcast on SBS VICELAND - 12 January 2017

When Vincent Price makes his first appearance as the egg-themed villain Egghead, this week's Batman was supposed to be a joyous egg-pun heavy episode - but some overt racism in the episode leaves egg on all of our faces.
