BAT-VIEWS: A roundup of this week’s Batman titles

The Thanksgiving week is a really weird one. It makes for a short work week, which is nice, but the four day weekend, where we stuff our gullets with turkey and spend the next three days in a stuffing filled haze can be a bit overwhelming. Such is the case with DC Comics and the plethora of Batman titles released each week. Since I’m such a Batman fan (he said with much sarcasm), here’s a rundown of the past week’s Bat-titles.

Wizard World Chicago gets Batman, Robin, and Catwoman

Wizard World Chicago has quickly become the big alternative to the San Diego Comic-Con and this August attendees will get a chance to meet Burt Ward, Adam West, and Julie Newmar at the show.  This is the first time Ward and West have been seen together in Chicago in 25 years.

Though an avid comic fan growing up, Ward had somehow never read an issue of “Batman” when he first auditioned for the role of Robin. Quickly impressing the producers, Ward was cast as Robin alongside West’s Batman for an unforgettable three season run that lasted 120 episodes.

The Chicago Comic Con runs August 19-22 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill.

But he too tends to push certain buttons that turns some people off.  Toss them both in an issue of World’s Finest, and watch the fireworks fly.
