Pop Culture Roundup: Batman, The Shadow, Bob Dylan!

ITEM! DC Comics' Batman: The Adventures Continue returns from a brief hiatus June 2 with a new "season." The comic is written by Paul Dini and Alan Burnett and drawn by the artist behind the classic Batman: The Animated Series comics, Ty Templeton.

ITEM! A rare first issue of The Shadow pulp series sold for $156,000 at auction this week. 

ITEM! Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, Billy Bragg and others name their favorite Bob Dylan tunes in honor of the bard's 80th birthday.

MEANWHILE: The New York Times looks at the funny side of Dylan (there's actually quite a bit).

Happy Memorial Day. Have a great long weekend, U.S. readers!
