* BatmanGrabsAGun: In a strange moment, the writers seem to just forget about Batman's two major taboos for a moment. In discussing how to stop Clayface, who's become impervious to darts, Robin suggests "How about a rifle?" After a panel of thinking about it, Batman's only objection is that Clayface could become ImmuneToBullets, too.

Dirrect link.


* CutLexLuthorACheque: Played with in relation to Gagney, the Human Ball. His crimes are intended to demonstrate the power of his "elastic alloy" so he can sell it to the highest bidder, but it's still hard to understand why he decided to go on a robbery spree instead of just demonstrating it in a less illegal way.

In the mid-1960s, the ''Series/{{Batman}}'' TV series was exported to Japan and proved extremely popular. As a result, an officially licensed ''Batman'' manga was published for just over a year, in the weekly ''Shōnen King'' magazine and, with different stories, in the monthly ''Shōnen Gaho''. Jiro Kuwata, an established mangaka of superhero and "scientific detective" manga, was hired as writer and artist. The manga was loosely based on DC ''Batman'' stories of the era, but with significant AdaptationExpansion and CulturalTranslation. After the end of Japanese Bat-mania, the series was largely forgotten.

***If you go by cover dates of the original magazines, Clayface's origin (Shonen Gahou 1966 #9, 9/1/1966) would go between "Professor Gorilla part 3 " (Shonen King 1966 #34, 8/28/1966) and "Go-Go the Magician part 1" (Shonen King 1966 #35, 9/4/1966).

** For those curious, "The Crimes of the Planet King" was the last of the weekly stories printed in Shonen King. All of the stories collected after that (starting with "The Robot Robbers") were printed in the monthly magazine Shonen Gahou at the same time as the weekly stories. The result is that Clayface's origin is printed in volume 3 of the collected edition while his return is printed in volume 2.
