Doctor Daka wrote: Not sure if anyone cares, but one of the things I found when researching the Universal serial release schedule was that the accepted order of the release of their serials was incorrect. There were a few mistakes in the listing in the back of Barbour's Cliffhanger book which has led to other serial lists having the same incorrect order to the releases. I think Eric now has it fixed on his Serial Squadron website listing. The next title after The Indians Are Coming was not Finger Prints, but Spell of the Circus. Also Perils pf Pauline was not he first title of 1934, but the last to be released in 1933. He also had an obvious error in his listing of Republic titles. In any case, here is an annotated copy of Barbour's list with the corrections noted: http://users.erols.com/scarletfire/Barbour%20serial%20list%20with%20corrections.pdf

The question I have: is this just an urban legend, or how it actually happened?

It was after the revival took off with people who came to laugh at it that it was shown in all 15 chapters as AN EVENING WITH BATMAN AND ROBIN.That would appear to be proof that my first post, and the rumor about the origins of the TV Batman, are correct.
