BATMAN WEEK IS HERE!
All this week Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride celebrates Batman with all-new features!
MONDAY- Allen Keyes returns. I chained him to his computer until he churned out a Batman post and wow, it is a doozy. Tomorrow we will debut The Batman Sadness Scale and believe me, it is worth the wait.
WEDNESDAY- Remember when police in Michigan found “Batman” hanging from a roof and arrested him? Well he made news again and on Wednesday we’ll revisit the Dark Knight of The Mid-West.
THURSDAY- The Late Night Movie House of Crap gets into the action with a bunch of very funny Batman parodies from around the ‘net.
FRIDAY- Imponderable #64 takes us to Singapore to meet a man who is undeniably the real Batman. He has the paperwork to prove it.
SATURDAY- Saturday Comics looks at a truly great newspaper strip, the Batman daily from the 1940s.
Those of you with a better than kindergarten education may have noticed that I skipped Tuesday. That is the American Chopper Weekly Rundown but I will work in Batman somehow. (I already worked it into the graphic, now I have to work it into the review)
See you soon, same Bat-time, same Bat-url!
To get you in the mood, here are a few classic Batman posts from the past:
The Infamous Case of the Joker’s Boner
What Happens in Gotham City Stays in Gotham City (AKA Batman Gets Beat Up in Las Vegas)

Have you ever read the Batman story ” The Night of Thanks, but No Thanks ” ? It’s a very good Batman story scripted by Harlan Ellison. I bought the comic on eBay back when I had an active account there. A good Internet search should fetch you the storyline & some of the artwork.

Ellison did a Batman? I have to check that out.

Just look up ” The Night of Thanks But No Thanks “, Detective Comics.I’m not going to give the ” punch line ” or pay – off, to this story away. It’s a classic, or should be. Just wish I knew where my copy got to.
