Is it any wonder why I'd be an obsessive fan of TV's Heroes? Probably not, after growing up on a diet of Superman comics and the Batman TV series.

So I took great joy in finding the Batgirl Pilot on YouTube since I'd never seen it before. Apparently this was shot as either a pilot for a spinoff, or as a vehicle to pitch the character that Yvonne Craig so memorably portrayed. Ironic that the fight scene included the term "Boff" which of course comes to mind every time I see Batgirl. Numerous Music Videos on YouTube suggest that I'm not the only one who fell under her spell. And I don't recall this Batgirl PSA for equal pay (with a "fake" Batman) but it's worth a look as well.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't fess up that I also had a thing for the only "real Catwoman" Julie Newmar as well.
