Happy Anniversary!
I dont know who remembers me, or who dont... But I wanted to jump in and say howdy, and say Happy anniversary to you all. I miss my friends here, and sorry I have not been active. I have checked in here and there, but I work like crazy now and have people tugging at me from all sides. Not a good excuse.. but its my fate, at least at the moment.

Re: Happy Anniversary!
Welcome back!
The 60th anniversary doesn't kick in for Australia until June 25, 2027. It aired on a Sunday night, with the followup episode on the Tuesday (June 27). The below review by journalist Nan Musgrove was printed in the "Australian Women's Weekly". The Adelaide premiere followed on July 3.
'HOLY RED SNAPPER' - IT'S BATMAN!
"All I can say about ATN7's 'Batman', after two episodes, and taking my note from Batman himself, is 'Heavens to Betsy!'
"Batman is American millionaire Bruce Wayne, who fights the forces of evil and triumphs over it episode after episode. Batman has other admirable qualities. He upholds the law at all times, he doesn't touch alcohol, he doesn't smoke. He has a clean tongue and never uses bad oaths or nasty words. 'Holy red snapper', 'Holy haberdashery' and 'Holy belt buckle' are some of his favourites.
"Batman is an excursion into the world of the comic strip and don't hold him against TV. Batman first appeared 27 years' ago as a comic book and has been popular, on and off, ever since.
"As a TV serial, I don't think I will watch it avidly, but if I ever want to escape into the world of Saturday arvo at the local flicks and the next episode of the serial, I'll know where to turn." - NAN MUSGROVE.
The 1966 movie version had a limited release Down Under on August 25, 1967, but it managed to slip past most of us until we spotted scenes in the "Bat Laffs" bubblegum cards featuring four villains at once!?
