Batman, Robin, Joker, Penguin, and Riddler would very much like to decorate your walls

Even in 1960s kid terms, a dollar for six, count ’em SIX (6) 11″x14″ Batman and Batman-related posters is a bargain — and it’s a toss-up whether I’d personally go for these or four larger Marvel Kirby posters for $1.50. (I’d probably go with the Marvels, with apologies to the Caped Crusader. Galactus, folks. Galactus.) If you’re stupid, you might even believe that Batman himself autographed them for you. Yes, imbecilic credulity is one of the great benefits of being dumb. (While “Best Bat-Wishes” is nice, wouldn’t Bat-fully Yours” be better? Search your feelings, Luke, you know it to be true.)

A corollary: If a kid only wanted to get the villains — the Joker, the Penguin and the Riddler — would that be cause for concern? Isn’t that the sort of thing that crops up on the serial killer progression chart, either just before or just after the torture of small animals? BEWARE.
