Wow! Between Michael Bradley's "Superman & Batman" podcast, Episode 33, covering World's Finest #90, and this episode of your podcast, covering World's Finest #117, I've been hearing a good bit about Bat-Woman's having super powers. I've always had a soft spot for the original Bat-Woman, so I certainly enjoyed this. I have nothing to add to your commentary, but I want to thank you for all the work you do in producing such a wonderful podcast.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode. Bat-Woman is an interesting silver age character.
