There’s arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman. No matter how many times he’s been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City’s greatest defender. With so much Bat content out there, there’s plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank! This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman’s history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.
Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break’s former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight. From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you’re a Batman fan, this is required listening.
It’s the first podcast of 2026, and that means the first of our yearlong theme of the Eras of Batman, where each episode we’ll be focusing on a key point in Batman’s long history in film and television.
And we couldn’t think of a better first episode than what is arguably one of Batman’s most important eras. That’s right, we’re going back to the 60s! This episode has been a long time coming – an entire episode focused on the glorious, iconic, and classic Adam West show from the 1960s!
To help with this fantastic topic, Daniel and Kris brought a newcomer into the pod cave, Stacy Dooks, co-host of the Fanboy Power Hour Podcast! The trio discuss every nook and cranny of this show, including major themes, Adam West and Burt Ward’s iconic performances, and the Chief O’Hara of it all! Â
Oh, and we’ll chat about some villains too.
That leads us to our rankings topic, because within this great discussion on the show, we had to fit in a ranking topic on these great underrated villains!
If you’re a fan of the 60s Batman show, this might just be your favorite episode of Batman by the Numbers Podcast!
