Two episodes ago, your daring hosts, Scott and BJ, watched the <a href="https://thebatmanuniverse.net/episode-271-batmans-live-action-debut-pulp-propaganda/">1943 Batman serial from Columbia Pictures</a>. In this week&#8217;s episode of The Batman Universe Podcast, Scott and BJ watched the 15-episode sequel serial from 1949.
In Batman and Robin, a new cast dons the crime-fighting outfits of the Dynamic Duo, and viewers are treated to appearances from supporting players like Commissioner Gordon (who was absent in the first serial), Vicki Vale, and Alfred Pennyworth. They&#8217;re also up against an original villain who was solely created for this serial &#8211; a sinister character known as The Wizard! It&#8217;s an another action-packed romp filled with big-time heists, murder, corporate espionage, and a twist ending after the reveal of who&#8217;s the mystery man behind The Wizard&#8217;s hood!
If you want to join our podcast hosts and watch this serial, you can <a href="https://tubitv.com/series/300009273/batman-and-robin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">find it on Tubi</a>. Otherwise, get ready as Scott and BJ tackle topics like:

<li>Why does Vicki Vale have a brother, and is he canon or an original character?</li>
<li>Who is The Wizard, and has he ever appeared in the comics?</li>
<li>Two different actors portray Batman and Robin in this sequel serial. How do Robert Lowery and Johnny Duncan (the new Dynamic Duo) compare to Lewis Wilson and Douglas Croft?</li>
