The 60's


'Gotham Librarian' was inspired from 60's tv shows and not just Batman and Robin. There was oodles of shows that paved a path of damsel in distress.. Man from Uncle or Girl From Uncle even more. Stephanie Powers as April Dancer was a milestone. Steph would spend the better part of the 60's and late 70's-80's in Hart to Hart tied up. Even Gilligan's gals had headhunter problems. The Avengers was a staple to the genre going back to the very early 60's and all the way through varied incarnations to the mid 70's. Linda Thorson as Tara King was a fave, although Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel was dipped in leather and had the 'can do' attitude of a closet dominatrix. Barbara Feldon as Agent 99 blew my mind as a tyke too.. why did a pretty lady in a sleek dress and sheer nylons look so amazing all tied up? That brings us to the very campy, tongue in cheek, tights lovin', homo-erotic soft core porn half hour of all time.. Batman. There was always a bevy of strange dressed bad guys to toss the boys in to soft core bondage.. all very colorful and odd. By the second season Neil Hamilton knew he better add a hot Batgirl to round out the fun. Yvonne Craig fleshed out many a young boy's fantasy. Hell, her opening scene was her getting kidnapped by the Penguin and tied to a chair in an abandoned apartment. Frank Gorshen's Riddler still can't be beat for mania, he freaked me out as a kid. Add in a fear of clowns, a Catwoman doniatrix and the recipe is set in stone. It took Jim Weathers and his Bondage Cafe to figure it all out in recent years via his masterpiece 'O-Girl' series and to mix in a large dash of fetish, an all girl cast, sheer pantyhose (more on that later), hitachi vibrators ... and I can't look away.
That said, I present "Gotham Librarian"
