Wonderful stuff… I used to love watching this great show, from the classic opening titles to the hilariously surreal action sequences it was an unmissable weekly TV treat!
Friends, this was a most special times, never to come again. I remember coming home from elementary school just dying to watch Batman, and Superman right after. I would sitter watching, transfixed in an otherworldly state of sweet, euphoric wonder, that you can only truly enjoy when you are a kid. In 1975 I was 10, the perfect age to appreciate all of those classics such as the above two, plus Star Trek, Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island - these were the after school go-to shows. What a wonderful time of life that was, everything was so in the moment, time felt so slow, there was beauty and wonder to be found literally everywhere and in everything. Every precious moment was savoured. Naturally, this was life as seen through the eyes of a young boy. Everything in life was new, fresh, magical, interesting, souname it, and the 70s decade was perfect for all of that learning, discovery and enjoyment. Man do I miss that time. I honestly feel stuck in that decade, to the point where it is probably becoming an unhealthy obsession. I can't stop thinking about my grandparent's, some aunts, uncles who are now gone, but were an integral part of my childhood. In particular, my maternal grandparent's were such an important part of my childhood, especially my grandfather. One of his passions in life was watching tv. He only watched QUALITY television programs - the best movies, shows, documentaries, news, you name it. By the time I was 12, I had seen all of the classics of every genre. I definitely learned all about good movies and shows from him.. I remember sitting in the dim lit living room with him and my dad, during a cold blizzard winter night, all warm and cozy, watching 'the Guns of Navarone' for example. Needless to say, I was in Fantasy Wonderland as a boy of 10 in 1975. In the world of today, I simply cannot find the satisfaction, purpose, meaning, enjoyment in anything anymore and I am 56 with a wife and daughter. Unfortunately I have always suffered from depression, but this is different. I have lost my way, and it is scary as hell. My life has not been easy since day 1, as I had a mom with serious mental issues which really affected me. On top of that I had a father who was stressed out from his very dysfunctional marriage, and often took out his frustration on my sister and I by being verbally demeaning. And so between both of them, we were royally screwed, pardon the expression. All of that really affected me negatively in so many ways. As it turns out, I turned out to be a great dad, but a lousy husband. So guilt, shame, lack of confidence are what define me now. I am a very intelligent man, well read, educated, but I just can't seem to put any kind of plan together. Not a day goes by that I don't feel like a complete failure. Sorry for saying all of this, but sometimes desperation makes one do crazy things. Sometimes I feel like I need to re-invent myself, and start a new chapter someplace else, throw caution to the wind, and just see what happens. Many have done just that and it worked for them. I'm so confused, and it doesn't let up, ever. Any helpful thoughts would be great appreciated.
George, may I recommend, "Feeling Good,: The New Mood Therapy" by Dr. David Burns. Also, you may want to see a therapist, if you aren't already. Don't believe everything your mind tells you. You are not your thoughts. But they do affect the way we feel. Or as Seneca put it: We suffer more in imagination than in reality. All the best.
Those were the days. Worked for the big 3. Got bushwhacked by a lady that saw sucurity in me, 100% medical coverage and a life time pension. Retired now in upper lower mi
Agreed, with all that superhero stuff going on (specially the cartoons) when we were little kids. The fight sequences was what I was always waiting for. I didn't understand the rest of it too well. When you watch it as an adult, you enjoy the campiness
Yeah, it was pretty obvious to me when I was 5. Actually, I then started reading Batman comics. The mood whiplash was pretty extreme. (This was the early post-Crisis continuity, and the new Robin had an appointment in -Samarra- Ethiopia.)
@@markboudreau1410 A lot of it depends on era. FWIW, there's generally a consensus that comics are too dark these days, and have been for some time. Grant Morrison's Multiversity is an allegory for the problem.
That was a big thing when the show was on, for any actor to play that week's villain. A feather in their cap, so to speak. (Art Carney Archer reference) 🙃
I enjoyed Earth Kitt very much with her take on the Catwoman role in season 3 but it's too bad Julie Newmar had a movie commitment and could not participate in the third season. Certain villains just shouldn't be replaced (Frank Gorshin as Riddler is the prime example for me). But what can you do; Mr. Freeze was played by _three_ actors. I still can't believe the show actually came to home video after such a long wait for the fans. The blu ray box has a prominent place on my media shelves. Once in a while I watch the series, and it's always a delicious hoot: colorful, wacky entertainment.
I remember how before Batman premiered in January 1966, it was shown before a test audience and was one of the lowest-rated new shows ever presented. Yet once it premiered, the ratings were amazing-it got something like a "52% share," which meant the majority of the population that had a TV at that time was watching it.
You can say that again. The Riddler was just incredible. I am not sure they casted the actors to the characters...maybe the actors were so good they molded the characters..kind of like the original Star Trek episodes. Robin was unreal! I love it when he says "Gosh Batman, you're right!"
@@davehallett3128 That maybe true, but "Batman" was a midseason replacement during the 1965-66 television season, premiering on January 12, 1966, thus giving the show three seasons. And, of course, because the show aired twice a week during its first two seasons, there were enough episodes to make the show eligible for syndication.
The Riddler was my favorite villain. That laugh, and the mischeivous, gleeful way he hopped around was hilarious. I use to try to imitate him sometimes as a kid when playing good guys vs bad guys with my friends.
What about the movie that started all of this? Those henchmen that were rehydrated by heavy water from the reactor were atomized and that poor porpoise or dolphin that sacrificed itself to saved the dynamic duo
These were like live cartoons with their over the top animated Technicolor costumes and sets. Friends use to meet up at my house during the summer while I tuned in our motorized antenna to catch a clear feed coming in from Buffalo.
Look how vibrant the colors were in Batman, Star Trek and even Brady Bunch and Gilligan''s Island..not to mention SPEED RACER! Color in shows was awesome in the 60s.. People thought in color back them.
I was in I think about second grade when batman aired, pow, bam, I loved it, the bad guys, then da,nah, nah, nah, batman. Put a towel around my neck running through the house, probably the best time of my young life along with spending weekends at the beach, I was a fish, spent the whole day, from 9am to 4 pm in the waves, as a baby, my mom told me people would walk by and say, oh, look the baby's getting tossed around in the waves and I'd break through the foam and be laughing my diaper off. Mom would say, oh, he's fine, he's a fish, literally. Nantasket beach, Hull, Mass. Between Boston and cape cod. I miss that.
They had planned for a fourth season. Batgirl was supposed to replace Robin completely. Back in Comicbookland, Denny O'Neil wanted Robin gone because of the gay rumors. Eventually, he would be rescued by Marv Wolfman, who had him lead a story, a story to end all stories. But as time went on, the batoffices (who were suffering a lot from the association with this show at a time when comics were supposed to be pure angst and meanwhile Batman's facing off against a bunch of delusional Cold War rejects called the Force of July) started begging for their little Robin to return, they'd gone through a second, and, yeah, **plays "Hearts and Flowers"**, and eventually Editorial started ordering Teen Titans taken to the extreme with this trend, and so their old bird returned home, in a miniseries written by...Denny O'Neill.😥
This show was really in a class all by itself. It had countless stars. I couldn't possibly name them all, and her's just a few. Ethel Merman, Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, Tallulah Bankhead, Frank Gorshin, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Joan Collins, Victor Buono, John Astin and so many other wonderful actors and actresses.
Penguin, Riddler, Joker and Cat Woman were definitely the 'First Division' of Bat 'Arch Criminals.' With Tut, False Face, Egghead, Bookworm and Mr Freeze close behind. The rest like the Archer, Siren, Louis the Lilac etc always disappointed, in my 9 year old humble opinion.

I originally enjoyed these because the Family Channel in the late 80's edited these out for time purposes, so when I saw them on other channels I was like 'wow'! So I've come to enjoy these little 'minisodes' of sorts...
Gordon on the phone with his wife: Got some bad news, Barbara is here in my office and she is dress like a masked vigilante and even worse she is with two others. Barbara: How did you know it was me ? Gordon: I would rather not say. Batman: May I offer a suggestion ? Gordon: Stay out of this, Mr. Wayne. Robin: Holy lost secret identities !
80s version: Deathstroke: You'd be surprised, Grayson. I deduced your identities even without Tara's help. Nightwing: How? Deathstroke: It's simple: Logan's green, the alien's orange and she's a model and Troy's her photographer, the witch is the only person I've ever met who wears both a bindi and a hijab, and Stone is a machine. Nightwing: And me? Deathstroke: You signed Tara's check. Nightwing: D'oh!
I grew up with this Batman and later discovered he was actually more serious I nature. Now I am older and revel at all the well known actors were featured on the show.
*"Yes Bonnie, what is it ...?"* *"A woman with no ID has made it into the building as far as your office* *and is asking to see me -- the Commissioner of the biggest police department of* *the biggest city in the world -- while I have no personnel at all around me ...?* *Well, OK I guess .... Send 'er right in!" lol* 🙄
“You wanna wager a sphinx or two?”....That line and the part from 6:22 through 7:25 is one of the best and funniest segments of the series, in my opinion! I love Victor’s humor and delivery in all of his work. Good onstage comedian as well.
The gags and funny lines come so fast that you need to watch the show in slow motion to take it all in! Note how Batman and Robin wear their underwear externally but Batgirl does not wear her knickers externally. What about Catwoman's car! They must have had so much fun putting the show together!
As a little kid back in the 70's, I enjoyed watching the repeats of Batman on WPIX-TV Channel 11. Hell, I even enjoyed it as a teenager when it was also repeated on WNEW-TV Metromedia Channel 5 back in the 80's. Not only that, I too enjoyed the motion picture from when it aired on ABC-TV Channel 7from the early 70's to 1986.
The Munsters got cancelled because of Batman , Who wants to watch Black and White when you can watch in living color , And the Munster Mobile was no match for the Batmobile, Atomic batteries to power , Turbine to speed ,
He was incredibly fun and manic in this role. I like John Astin but you cannot replace Frank Gorshin; he was superb. That giggle alone was outstanding.
Many actors from "Batman" also did "Star Trek" (Frank Gorshin, Julie Newmar, Yvonne Craig, Lee Merriwhether, Theodore Marcuse, John Astin - voice only, uncredited, Joan Collins, Ted Cassidy - who did a window cameo here as Lurch, Sherry Jackson), "The Wild Wild West" (Victor Buono, who also appeared in the pilot episode, John Astin, this time credited, Alan Hale, Jr - who came off here as a cook named Gilligan, Theodore Marcuse, again), "Lost In Space" (Werner Klemperer - who did a window cameo, Sherry Jackson, again, Francine York) or "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (Theodore Marcuse, yet again, Werner Klemperer, again, Vincent Price). Did I miss anyone? Let me know.
The King Tut episodes in S3 were some of the best of the entire series. The intelligence of Tut connecting the dots about Bruce Wayne created a truly dangerous situation for Batman…in a much more intellectual way than the usual issues he deals with.
Yeah good old days indeed. Actors back them were intelligent people. Watch interviews with Romero (joker), Frank Gorshin, Adam West, Yvonne Craig, and Robin. These guys were very smart. Today, actors....oh God nevermind I don't even want to go there.
Well, I hope the upcoming Batman film includes one of the classic villains, such as Louis the Lilac, Shame, Egghead, King Tut, Nora Clavicle, Doctor Cassandra, Siren, Minerva or Lord Fogg
Egghead was my favorite Batman villain, played my favorite horror film actor, Vincent Price. I now have the DVDS of the complete Batman TV series so I can watch it again anytime I want to, for as long as I like.

nemass26 ?
carrie rodriguez just a wonderful show
love them all. what a splendidly camp run it was.
Those were the days my friend. We thought they d never end
Wether or not i like this style aside, it is amazing in how well it achieved what it set out for. And never degrading or lazy
I loved watching theses
I originally enjoyed these because the Family Channel in the late 80's edited these out for time purposes, so when I saw them on other channels I was like 'wow'! So I've come to enjoy these little 'minisodes' of sorts...
I was 4 yrs old when this show came out I now got the DVD to the complete series
It’s a classic. I spin the discs every so often.
Gordon on the phone with his wife:
Got some bad news, Barbara is here in my office and she is dress like a masked vigilante and even worse she is with two others.
Barbara: How did you know it was me ?
Gordon: I would rather not say.
Batman: May I offer a suggestion ?
Gordon: Stay out of this, Mr. Wayne.
Robin: Holy lost secret identities !
80s version:
Deathstroke: You'd be surprised, Grayson. I deduced your identities even without Tara's help.
Nightwing: How?
Deathstroke: It's simple: Logan's green, the alien's orange and she's a model and Troy's her photographer, the witch is the only person I've ever met who wears both a bindi and a hijab, and Stone is a machine.
Nightwing: And me?
Deathstroke: You signed Tara's check.
Nightwing: D'oh!
I grew up with this Batman and later discovered he was actually more serious I nature. Now I am older and revel at all the well known actors were featured on the show.
Yvonne Craig.......a true beauty. Even with short hair. She was captivating on Star Trek TOS as the green skinned Orion slave girl.
She also played Neil Hamilton's stepdaughter in a fairly early episode of "Perry Mason"!

That was Susan Oliver, not Yvonne Craig.
@Bruno56 you saw audrey hepburn with her skirt off????

Killer Moth: Am I a joke to you?... (No wait, don't answer that....)
Gordon;) you don’t say, you don’t say, you don’t say (Batman, what did he say. Gordon, he didn’t say😊 classic, I love it.
These will always be the best batman characters

Memories ❤️🙏
Guy dressed as King Tut comes into library to read a book. Police put out an APB . 😂
He’s a known criminal
Thanks for posting I loved it
The joker flying around in UFOs and all 🛸 and I love it 😂😂😂
Wish we would of got more episodes of this 💎 gem.
“You wanna wager a sphinx or two?”....That line and the part from 6:22 through 7:25 is one of the best and funniest segments of the series, in my opinion! I love Victor’s humor and delivery in all of his work. Good onstage comedian as well.
As King Tut, he was one of my favorite villains.
The best to bad the kids have no shows like this everyone actor was fine!!!!!!!
I bet the villains did it almost for free. It must have been a fun time
@@davehallett3128 It was the show to be on. You're even encouraged to ham it up.
I forgot how incredibly gorgeous Yvonne Craig was. RIP Batgirl
Plus her ultra-sexy nylon / spandex body suit !
She was gorgeous. I’m sad she died.
@Bruno56 Same way with Catwoman.
And Adam West, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin, Vincent Price, Carolyn Jones, Liberace and anyone else I’ve left out.
Oh, yeah. And Eartha Kitt.
The gags and funny lines come so fast that you need to watch the show in slow motion to take it all in! Note how Batman and Robin wear their underwear externally but Batgirl does not wear her knickers externally. What about Catwoman's car! They must have had so much fun putting the show together!
As a little kid back in the 70's, I enjoyed watching the repeats of Batman on WPIX-TV Channel 11. Hell, I even enjoyed it as a teenager when it was also repeated on WNEW-TV Metromedia Channel 5 back in the 80's. Not only that, I too enjoyed the motion picture from when it aired on ABC-TV Channel 7from the early 70's to 1986.
How can you not love this show, and the women, the beautiful women, one of my favorite things.

He was incredibly fun and manic in this role. I like John Astin but you cannot replace Frank Gorshin; he was superb. That giggle alone was outstanding.

Many actors from "Batman" also did "Star Trek" (Frank Gorshin, Julie Newmar, Yvonne Craig, Lee Merriwhether, Theodore Marcuse, John Astin - voice only, uncredited, Joan Collins, Ted Cassidy - who did a window cameo here as Lurch, Sherry Jackson), "The Wild Wild West" (Victor Buono, who also appeared in the pilot episode, John Astin, this time credited, Alan Hale, Jr - who came off here as a cook named Gilligan, Theodore Marcuse, again), "Lost In Space" (Werner Klemperer - who did a window cameo, Sherry Jackson, again, Francine York) or "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (Theodore Marcuse, yet again, Werner Klemperer, again, Vincent Price). Did I miss anyone? Let me know.

Awesome show and yes Riddler is an amazing criminal
And yet his father still says he's stupid.
That's his whole motive: To impress his abusive father.
14:02 Even the local TV stations in Gotham film things with that Batman tilt to the cameras.

Ceasar Romero: BEST JOKER EVER
Batman's villains barely spend a full month in jail before showing up again.
Barbara Gordon’s apartment seems to be many floors up .... yet she goes out the back alley like its the first floor
I'm thinking a sliding fire escape attachment for Batgirl's place hmm...
Librarians made bank back then.
-and only two times did they ever play Batgirl's theme song as she rode out-or in.

"Highway safety is every citizens prime responsibility." I'm cracking up! ..in other words, "Do not drive like a bat out of hell."
It Seems in season 3 for every villain they defeat one more moves into place
The King Tut episodes in S3 were some of the best of the entire series. The intelligence of Tut connecting the dots about Bruce Wayne created a truly dangerous situation for Batman…in a much more intellectual way than the usual issues he deals with.
Season 3’s King Tut and Season 2’s Egg Head were very well written in terms of narrowing down or figuring out who Batman probably was.
11:30… that there special relationship. Good old Batman! Can’t be arsed with the president but whataguy.
Damn Joker's henchman "Riptide" and "Wipeout".
Funny that because Caesar Romero was in an episode of riptide.
What's happening with you
💋💋💋💋💋
Victor Buono(King Tut)- Classic!
Adam West was a genius. No other Batman was ever any good.
What a great formula they had. Good old days.
Yeah good old days indeed. Actors back them were intelligent people. Watch interviews with Romero (joker), Frank Gorshin, Adam West, Yvonne Craig, and Robin. These guys were very smart. Today, actors....oh God nevermind I don't even want to go there.
Highway safety is every citizen responsibility.

Me too
@@dsteely2588 they're cool
@@lloydkline3265 She was also in an episode of the Green Hornet.
The alliteration in this show was in a league of it's own.
Well, I hope the upcoming Batman film includes one of the classic villains, such as Louis the Lilac, Shame, Egghead, King Tut, Nora Clavicle, Doctor Cassandra, Siren, Minerva or Lord Fogg
Egghead was my favorite Batman villain, played my favorite horror film actor, Vincent Price. I now have the DVDS of the complete Batman TV series so I can watch it again anytime I want to, for as long as I like.
