==''Hollywood Babble-On Comic Con Theater''==
Smith has had all three issues of his comic series ''[[Batman: Cacophony]]'' "dramatized" during three special episodes of his [[podcast]], entitled ''Hollywood Babble-On Comic Con Theater''. Primarily performed by his co-host [[Ralph Garman]], who used several of his better-known impressions to represent the main characters, both episodes were essentially a read-through of one of the issues of the story. Garman's voicing of the main characters included the "voices" of [[Adam West]] as Batman, [[Ed Wynn]] as the Joker (initially, this was Garman's impression of [[Cesar Romero]]'s Joker, but Smith suggested using Wynn's voice instead), [[Sean Connery]] as Commissioner Gordon, and [[Al Pacino]] as Maxie Zeus. Smith acted as the "omnipotent narrator" and voice of Onomatopoeia in both episodes. In the first episode (podcast #43), an audience member was brought up to cover several other minor character roles; in the second episode (podcast #65), Smith brought in voice-over actor/announcer [[Kyle Hebert]] to voice Alfred (which he did in a [[cockney]] accent somewhat reminiscent of [[Michael Caine]], who played Alfred in ''[[Batman Begins]]'' and ''[[The Dark Knight (film)|The Dark Knight]]'') and others, and cohort [[Jason Mewes]] to voice most of the female characters. (Smith and Hebert also voiced two of Zeus' henchmen, as well as other characters in the second episode.)
Smith's other comic ''[[Batman: The Widening Gyre]]'', which is a six-part series, is also being "dramatized" on ''Hollywood Babble-On Comic Con Theater''.
Garman and Smith also acted out their collaborative comic series special issues where [[Batman]] ([[Adam West]]'s version) and [[Green Hornet]] ([[Van Williams]]' version) met again to take on General Gumm ([[Roger C. Carmel]]'s [[List of Batman enemies in other media#Villains originating from TV and film|Colonel Gumm]] with a higher ranking) and [[Joker (comics)|The Joker]] ([[Cesar Romero]]'s version). The comic series is significant for being the first crossover between the 1966 ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' series and ''[[The Green Hornet (TV series)|The Green Hornet]]'' series since the 1967's episode "Batman's Satisfaction" (with guest stars from
In Episode 306 (New Year's Eve Episode 2017), Ralph and Kevin perform Babble-On Theatre for the first time on a work not written by either. ''Batman 66'', Issue 27 "Bane Enters the Ring", serves as the centerpiece for the episode.
