Two episodes ago, your daring hosts, Scott and BJ, watched the 1943 Batman serial from Columbia Pictures. In this week’s episode of The Batman Universe Podcast, Scott and BJ watched the 15-episode sequel serial from 1949.

In Batman and Robin, a new cast dons the crime-fighting outfits of the Dynamic Duo, and viewers are treated to appearances from supporting players like Commissioner Gordon (who was absent in the first serial), Vicki Vale, and Alfred Pennyworth. They’re also up against an original villain who was solely created for this serial – a sinister character known as The Wizard! It’s an another action-packed romp filled with big-time heists, murder, corporate espionage, and a twist ending after the reveal of who’s the mystery man behind The Wizard’s hood!
