About this episode

The episode examines the first draft script of 'The Ring of Wax' and its adherence to Batman themes.

It's been quite a while since we've taken a look at "The Ring of Wax"/"Give 'em the Axe" , but it's finally this arc's turn for an examination of its first completed draft script. How well did Jack Paritz and Bob Rodgers do at sticking to Semplian ideas of Batman? Where did they not go into enough detail to get their story across? And what do we notice about a certain Gotham City politician? We begin our multi-part look at this script, which you can see for yourself on our Patreon page! Subscribe to our Patreon for $2 a month for bi-weekly examinations of Batman 66 on BAT BITS, or, for $4 a month, get that AND our monthly discussion of silver age Batman comics, as Paul or another in our stable of co-hosts joins Tim to examine individual Batman stories from the 1950s and '60s — most recently, Tim and Emmet discussed "The Man Behind the Red Hood" from DETECTIVE COMICS 168!
