As always love the research you delve into to present these episodes. It's weird how all three introductions of Alfred seem to be pretty different, aesthetically & to some extent caricature/character line walk depending on the medium.
My favorite live action Alfred is easily Alan Napier from the 60's show. Otherwise, I always liked Alfred in Batman the Animated Series, but then, everything in that show was likable.
We covered the first appearance of Scarecrow on a very early episode of the show. ruclips.net/video/0gDO0a1_SZk/видео.html Scarecrow is requested often though, and we’ve been considering redoing some of the topics from early episodes! The show has evolved a *lot* since then. Stay tuned! 🦇
You guys talked a little about the Batman Dailies. For Christmas in 2006 my grandparents bought me the collection book of all the Batman dailies from 43-46. Because of the dailies (along with Nolan’s movies) I’m a Batman fan. I remember reading them on my grandparents couch under a lamp in the corner of the living room reading and being fully invested in the stories. I even read these during the summer of 2007 and 2008 during the hyping up of the dark knight. It felt like being a kid from that era experiencing Batman stories for the first time. If it wasn’t for the dailies I wouldn’t have become a huge batman fan.
@@batlessons I forget the names of the story arcs names but the stories I loved was the one where a serial killer was terrorizing a theater and the actors. Another one of course was where Batman got shot and on the verge of death and a cop dresses as him while investigating a gang in the woods (won’t spoil what happens to him). That one has one of my favorite conclusions where the gang leader thinks Batman is a ghost and starts freaking out.
(Apologies if this is a redundant comment: I was almost done with a comment, and accidentally brushed against the icon for another video, which diverted e from your page...). Thanks for another entertaining and informative episode. Two thoughts. FIRST: Of all the newspapers you could have chosen in your hypothetical to talk about the differences between dailies and Sunday strips you chose the NY Times -- A paper that has famously never had a comics page. Still, it was a hypothetical, so maybe you were descriping a hypothetical alternate universe where the Times has an EXTENSIVE Funnies section... SECOND: I found the description referring to Alfred as "Batman's bat man" quite interesting, and I wonder if it was coined as a play on the traditional phrase used to describe a valet/butler: a "Gentleman's gentleman." Keep up the good work.
I should have been better prepared with example papers! Growing up the option of newspaper was the Kansas City Star or the Kansas City Star. Interesting thought regarding "Gentleman's gentleman", there's a definite parallel there. We'll include this in our next corrections and feedback episode for sure! 🦇
If you're gonna do the serials. You should take the time to listen to the episodes of The Adventures of Superman radio show. That featured Batman and Robin. Because Superman is the hero of the program. You get the most inept version of Batman and Robin ever. Especially with a running gag in the show. Where they play fast and loose with secret identities.

found you a few months ago and finished all the back catalog before tweedle dum and tweedle dee, so this last month of waiting was hard
We’re so glad you like the show! We’d love to release more often someday, but would need to grow the audience. Tell your friends!

Alan Napier is a fantastic Alfred. I can’t wait for us to get to Batman 66 on the show.
I would love to see a scarecrow video!

Do you recall a favorite story?

Love it. I’d like to return to the daily strips in a future episode. Stay tuned! 🦇

I'm pretty sure They're supposed to be Italian mobsters .

👀 We’ll add it to the potential topic list!
@batlessons it's good trivia, not worth a whole episode. There's 14 of them in the radio archives collection.
