During Mutual Radio broadcast of "The Adventures of
Superman", starting in 1945 Superman and Batman,
years before their comic book collaborations, really
became a functioning team. But largely the team-up
of Batman, and Superman provided some time off for
an overworked Bud Collyer (Superman). These episodes
called for Superman to be occupied elsewhere, and
the crime fighting would be handled by Batman. Stacy
Harris played Batman in this first team-up with the
Man of Steel, and Ronald Liss was Robin. Batman and
Robin returned several times over the years, usually
with Matt Crowley as Batman and Ronald Liss always
played Robin. Now, listen to Batman on the Radio and
Movie Serials from the 1940's.
