Holy propaganda! No sooner had TV's Batman and Robin resumed their camp crusading for another season than the Soviet humor magazine Krokodil published a humorless tirade calling them "idealized representatives of the FBI." The show, said the editorial writer, is attracting "more and more millions of children, teenagers and underdeveloped adults. Betmvenomaniya is raging in American schools like the plague.

Only changes from the 1936-52 radio version are James Bond-type hardware and a bigger-beat theme song, blown by Al Hirt. There is nothing wrong with the show that cannot be cured by turning off the set. Tarzan (NBC) has a vaster menagerie than last season's high-rated jungle epic, Daktari, and just as soupy a scenario.
