Searching for lots of things...but just a name right now

Renewed interest in the Caped Cruisader

With "The Dark Knight" shattering box office records every day (will it shatter the all important Monday matinee record?), it seems like everybody is talking about Batman.  Heath Ledger was on the cover of more than a few magazine last week.  NPR ran a piece that dug into Batman's creation...with comic artist Bob Kane.

hell, even the History Channel ran a special digging into the Bruce Wayne psychology......very interesting stuff indeed.

Since I haven't seen the movie yet (Chicago's IMAX next Saturday, 1 pm), this revival is paying off in 2 ways.  First of all, it is much much easier for me to find episodes of "Batman: The Animated Series" online to watch.  Growing up, I had the perfect after-school lineup:

- Tiny Toons
- Animanics
- Batman the Animated Series

the second way, is that somebody just snagged my copy of the campy Adam West/Burt Ward Batman from half.com.  I've had that movie online for almost a year, but it took the Dark Knight to finally sell it!
