What came first in the written works of author J.R.R Tolkien? His word-building historical fiction, his fictional languages, his children's book, or his epic fantasy story?

In a new type of episode called "Everyone Wants To Be In The Bat-Jar", we take a look at a topic to decide if it should be considered part of the broad spectrum of nerd and geek culture.
This week, Average Joe and special guest Shaggy Neo take a look at the American Ninja Warrior franchise. How does this reality show about athletes running through obstacle courses fit into nerd and geek culture? Could it be it's Japanese origins, performers using codenames, or connections to popular media franchises?
