That awkward moment when you remember the only Batman who's never killed is George Clooney...

Another epic post by Silver Nemesis!

Do you have to do a lot of research for these posts or do you just know it off the top of your head?

A bit of both. I'll often make a note of any comic that has something interesting in. Then I usually forget why it's interesting and have to go back and reread it. Sometimes I'll remember seeing something in a comic but can't remember which issue it was (I'm still trying to recall which story featured the bat-credit card). When reading the old comics you inevitably end up spotting familiar things. Make a note of them and they soon start to add up.

Speaking of which, I think it's about time we had a Batman: The Movie (1966) comic influences thread...

Great work once again. I think these comic influences threads/articles should be sticky.

That would be fun.

According to Mark Hamill, Joel Schumacher watched his Trickster episodes over and over for inspiration!

Is that true? I've never heard this before, but it makes a lot of sense. I think I might rewatch that episode and try and spot some more connections.

I'm pretty sure that issue inspired the B:TAS episode 'Perchance to Dream' as well.

Wow, this thread's been inactive for a year, and now suddenly we're coming up with all these new connections. Great work!

Yeah - Mark was on Kevin Smith's Fatman on Batman Smodcast - a great 2 part interview (and they mentioned Star Wars maybe twice for about 20secs in total!). I could listen to Mark talk for hours!

I am constantly amazed at the users of this site and their ability to source the comic material.
