In your own space, add something to your fandom’s canon.
I'm not sure if it counts for this, but there is a almost entirely untapped bit of canon in the 1966-68 Batman TV series. There was a crossover between the Green Hornet series airing at the same time in a two part episode in season two ("A Pieced of the Action" and "Batman's Satisfaction"). A lot of open ended lore is established in these episodes that is never used ever again anywhere (as far as I can tell):
- Bruce Wayne and Britt Reid have known each other since possibly childhood and have been rivals since at least college (though neither knows the other's secret identity). I think there were more little throw away details about time they spent together, but my notebook with Batman details is at home and I am housesitting (also, its hard to find details online).
- They have a friend in common, Pinky Pinkston. She is an heiress to the Pink Chip Stamp Factory, wears all pink, and has her dog Apricot (who is also dyed pink) as a constant companion. She is the only female character on the show to be unusual/have a gimmick and not be a villain, highly intelligent, AND not be romantically or sexually interested in Bruce Wayne. In her few appearances in the episode, she is either outwitting the villains or playing Bruce and Britt against each other like a fiddle. Also, whenever she asks one on a date, she makes sure the other is there too. I believe she also went to college with Bruce and Britt, but, again, I don't have my notes with me.
Now, I get why nothing more was done with this, but think of the possibilities.
