A failed writer with an obsession with books has his sites on a rare collection of priceless works in the Gotham City Library.  But how does he plan to get past the near indestructible doors?  Batman and Robin match wits with the leather-clad Bookworm as played by Roddy McDowell in an episode that offers a number of firsts, including the first use of the harpsichord (which we totally forgot to mention in the podcast).

Joining John to talk about The Bookworm is RevCast host and DragonCon American Sci-Fi Classic Track director Gary Mitchel.
