With the 2012
London Olympics now underway, I figured it was time to bust out another issue
of the old school Teen Titans comic,
and you can probably guess why by looking at the cover. And, um, that’s it really. So let’s start.

Batman, Season Two
The second season of Batman is almost twice as long as Season One, and frankly, I don’t think that was a good thing. By this point, the show was a monster success and everyone was riding high. It was nominated for three Emmys—Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Comedy (for Frank Gorshin), and Individual Achievements in Sound Editing—and was even being referenced by other shows (The Monkees, Gilligan’s Island) and movies (The Fortune Cookie). The Bat-climb celebrity cameos were in full swing, featuring everyone from Sammy Davis Jr. to… Colonel Klink from Hogan’s Heroes? How is that supposed to work?*
The point is, the show was at the peak of its popularity, and I guess that made the writers too lazy to get up off their laurels and make sure the show continued to be a success.
