  • Rollo T  - The Midas Touch
    Everything Linkara does turns to gold! Excellent review good man!
  • The Heckler
    You're quickly taking over the site!:D

    Great review.
  • Stammer  - Comics Schmomics
    You don't even need to read comics to like these reviews.
  • hookman  - Brilliant!
    At first I wasnt sure about AT4W but now I cant wait for the next video!
  • Heartbeat  - Great Review, a little advice though
    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.
  • KRN925
    he's new and he's whoopin some serious ass.

    Linkara rocks
  • cyclopsfan1  - Another Great Review Linkara
    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.

  • DanManX  - You've gotta love it
    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!
  • Linkara
    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
  • Mr Dark  - Title
    Great review.

    BTW, you want a bad Manga to review? Read the Mega Man Zero manga.
  • Rhomega
    Man, 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.
  • mwong04  - WOW
    Batman series are very boring
  • TheDramaticMonarch
    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
  • Ocegues  - Before you watch this
    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 :-)
  • CroutonsOfDeath
    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 :'()
  • norgavue
    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!
  • Seijimei  - You're A Machine!!
    Three reviews at once. Amazing!
  • Altorin
    I 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
  • Kurvos
    Where 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
  • Linkara
    Right here:

  • Totalpranny  - Adam West
    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.
  • Totalpranny
    BTW, 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)
  • BabyImplosion
    another great video by that guy with the glasses! ........ no, not THAT guy, but
    THAT guy.

    this all sounds like a good plot for batman 3
  • Shinigami
    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.
  • Jankrist
    great review Linkara, do some more reviews of old comics :D
  • B gal  - Good review
    And I - whatever number people said to revise the text recaps- revise the text
    recaps, espially the bat baby one.
  • m60462a  - From Forrest Linkara
    "Your a goddamn genius Linkara.. They should make you a major general!"
    ;D

    I'm really liking your style dude.
  • arctifox
    Though 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.
