Something to read when you’re bored: Issue #22

A new week has begun and as promised yesterday, today’s edition of ‘Something to read when you’re bored’ is a little different. In this issue, I am focusing solely on Batman, so if that’s your thing you are in for a treat!

No news today, so let’s dive right in!

Prior to the ongoing situation with the coronavirus, Warner Bros. Pictures and director Matt Reeves were a partial way through the shoot of The Batman – the latest film to feature the Caped Crusader.

Serial killer

Long before comic book movies were leading the way at the box office, many classic characters (including Batman) were fronting Saturday morning serials. A number of these serials were based on DC Comics characters – but do you know how many?

Casting call

Music to my ears

Speaking of music, if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber then you may or may not know that you have access to a limited selection of music from Amazon Music. Amongst the various albums you can access, you will find Prince’s Batman ‘89 album, which you can listen to as part of your subscription.

Might be handy to know… if you fancy rewinding back to summer ‘89. The album can be streamed or downloaded if you need some background noise on your daily walk.
