When I came to this site it was to watch "Ask That Guy" and "Nostalgia Critic" but now I am starting to get hooked on these AT4W videos they are awesome.
I never even knew how a bad comic book could be possible until I saw these videos and the story arcs between Linkara and Spoony are so exciting to watch.

While I in no way am saying that downloading the comic is bad, the laptop on your lap seemed too out of place, couldn't you have just pretended you had the comic for yout bits on tape? Just a "comic double" or something. Otherwise great stuff.

Linkara rocks

You have a serious work ethic with all these updates. I must say me like. Me like a lot. Keep up the good work and yes silver age was a confusing time. Think if it was for death of the Stacy's this would probably never would end.
-
You've GOTTA love any video that references Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, SNL, and Hudson Hawk all within several minutes of each other. This would've been good just if you pointed out the ridiculousness of the comic, but being chock-full of pop culture references is a huge plus man. Kudos!

Glad you all like it. ^^ We're coming closer and closer to having all the videos I've done on the site. I think we're down to about two more before they're all uploaded. ;D

12.29.2008 - 12:39 | RhomegaMan, it's just like the Adam West Batman, only cheesier, worse and even less realistic.

I should point out that while the Adam West series gets a lot of the flack for the image of Batman as campy and lighthearted, it was actually reflecting the comics at the time, not the other way around. Batman had been like that for years before the Adam West show.

I wish I could come up with a witty or creative way to say that you're quickly becoming one of my very favorite personalities on here but you continue to make me giggle and smile with every review you put out (and, as I've said before, I'm not a gigantic comic buff).
Rock on, Linkara!
I kinda want some Bugle chips now. :P

Before you watch this video, take a bottle of vodka poor 6 shot glasses about 75% full rest lemon put them on the table infront of your screen make a deal with yourself to finish every glass before the video is finished (i recommend to poor even more shots afterwards ) then watch everything with the Nostalgia critic, Ask that guy with the glasses and Linkara that would probably be a good evening for you :-)

Yay! More Linkara!! :D You're like some highly addictive drug that I just want to continuously shoot up (Okay, yeah, I admit that was creepy :'()

Ouch that hurt. I have been trying to forget those silver age batman comics. They do hurt a bit, when taken out of the context they had back then. Still any excuse for a DS9 reference works for me!
-
12.29.2008 - 15:55 | AltorinI was actually enjoying this story in the sort of way any Silver Age comic can be enjoyed... that is until the alien.
The second story is reminiscent of the adam west series, and as such can be forgiven a lot - enough in fact for it to seem actually half decent.
So if the first story didn't have an alien, and the bat baby story didn't involve batman retaining his physique as a child, they would probably not be worth a rant video.
good video though, I look forward to the next one, right now you're keeping this site afloat for me, so keep'em coming

12.29.2008 - 16:14 | KurvosWhere on that link in the end can I find the Bat-baby story? I am terrible at finding stuffs, sorry...:D I love your reviews, besides. Makes me both giggle and laugh.;D

I think all the Adam West TV show was doing was simply portraying Batman for what the comics were at the time : Pure silly fun.
-
12.29.2008 - 16:31 | TotalprannyBTW, I never get tired of the "Ambiguously Gay Duo" running gag (is it a rule for everyone on this site to use it at least once ?;D NChick has already used it for He-Man)

Great review.
Batman as comic book on its campiest. That kinda had that same thing Adam as West series had. Time when comic books made absolutly no sense at all.

great review Linkara, do some more reviews of old comics :D
-
And I - whatever number people said to revise the text recaps- revise the text recaps, espially the bat baby one.
-
"Your a goddamn genius Linkara.. They should make you a major general!" ;D
I'm really liking your style dude.
-
12.29.2008 - 20:04 | arctifoxThough I have never read any comic books (only some mangas), I want to say thank you, Linkara, for your videos, and for keeping entartaining us during this dead holiday season, while all the other reviewers have stopped their activity.
