Batober 2025: Zelda the Great

The first original ’66 villain (sorta. Women aren’t allowed to be evil, just sad unfortunate souls. Even if you kidnap elderly women and dangle them over fiery pits of oil).

Batober S01E08: Rats Like Cheese

Throughout this endeavor, I will draw different Robins. I like to think it’s gonna be obvious which is which.

Batober S01E05: The Joker is Wild

The joy of this is that I can choose whatever version of the character I want from all of comic history. Whichever version makes the scene funniest. So here we have maybe the only good thing to come of Nu52 faceless Joker.

Batober S01E03: Fine Feathered Finks

Not gonna lie, Penguin is my least favorite of the classic Bat-Villains, but he seems to pop up a lot.

Batober S01E02: Smack in the Middle

Molly – Riddler’s moll – first of a long line of “poor deluded souls” Batman would fail to save throughout the 60s tv show.

Even though he denies it, redhead Jill St. John dresses up as Robin in a defining moment from the January 13th, 1966 episode of BatmanSmack in the Middle, and this HAD to have made a major impression on Frank Miller to create Carrie Kelley for Dark Knight Returns. HAD TO.

Batober S01E01: Hi Diddle Riddle

You come up with the dumbest ideas at 5:30 in the morning.

After a many-years long snooze, I decided to try my hand again at a limited edition Sketch-a-Day effort. Batober is all the rage in the comic art nerd community, usually driven by the absolutely stellar Chris Samnee. I kinda want to participate, but I don’t follow prompts well.

So instead, I’ll be re-watching the 1966 Batman television program, and I will be drawing an interpretation of a moment from each episode, for at least the next 31 days. However, I’m not great at likenesses, so I’m gonna draw those scenes with comic-accurate versions!

So first up, a defining moment from the January 12th, 1966 premiere episode of BatmanHi Diddle Riddle.
