After a brief, unsatisfying conversation with Lyndon Johnson, Kitt, annoyed, stood up and denounced the Vietnam War. This prompted an apparent effort by the President to kill her career in the US. We discuss a recent video from the New Yorker that explores this incident, with clever tie-ins to her Batman appearances. Also, we dust off our Batman \u201966 comics collections and take a look at issue 8, featuring the story King Tut Barges In. PLUS: A Japanese surf band tackles that Batman theme, we complete our listen to the \u201cFeaturette\u201d interview of Adam and Burt from the Batman: The Movie DVD, and read your mail on \u2026 various past episodes!
