Equal Pay PSA Featuring Batman, Robin, and Batgirl

Newsflash: Batman was not only a degrading husband, but a sexist employer to boot. In the following PSA for the Federal Equal Pay Law, Batgirl argues that she's underpaid and deserves to earn the same wages as Robin.

Sexist 1959 Batman Comic

This appeared in a 1959 Batman comic titled, "The Marriage of Batman and Batwoman." Once Bruce Wayne disclosed his superhero secret to his new wife, she wanted in on the action.

Flashback: Holy Siamese Human Knot, Batman!

Back in the day, this was considered "action-packed" television? Awkward and uncomfortably staged is more like it. And if this "Siamese Human Knot" is Batman's idea of torture, then what kind of sheltered "superhero" are we following here? Although I do love the set design. They should have called this episode, "Batman and the multi-colored moving boxes." Now that would have been bad Read more
