RIP Adam West. You will always be the classic and best Batman.
I watch this awesome review and the history of Batman 66 in honor of Adam West.
perfect
R.I.P Adam West, Thank you for the memories.
ik
Links595 he will always be the bright night
yep
Links595 yeah. Thank you for this awesome movie and it's great show. You always have a place in the hearts of all true fans of the Batman.
Some hard core Batman fans hated the TV series when it came out.
I always loved watching this movie on Saturday afternoons as well as the tv series everyday after school.
nice
We kids of the 60's, loved this show like no other.
It makes me so happy knowing the series is now available to own. I do and I didn't even grow up with it or see reruns! It was more cultural osmosis if anything but I love the campy feel of the series and how over the top zany it is. It has a place in my own Bat-Collection alongside the movie and the two animated movies they did with "Return Of The Caped Crusaders" which parodied the Frank Miller version of Batman and "Vs Two-Face" which carried on the celeb guest villain tradition with William Shatner as Harvey Dent/Two-Face and the final peice of Bat Media Adam West would voice before his passing.
those two animmated movies were AWFUL. the seccond one even being a total ripoff from The Santa Clause 2
@@3dartistguy All I can say is I very much disagree. I thought they were fun romps.
@@muigokublack6487 they were paroding the tv series whiich was parodiing the comic book. There was nothing original about the storyline. A duplicatng machiine that duplicates corrupt duplicates of Batman? Again, this storyline was ripped off from The Santa Clause 2. They were nothing like the beloved tv serries at al dispite the fct that adam west and burt ward were doing to the voices. They seemed more like an update of filmations 1977 Adventures of batman and Robin. Dozens of pointless changes like Arkham Asylum was never seen in the tv series as well.
@@muigokublack6487 Once again, the storyline is what i had issues with. It was ripped off from The Santa Claus 2. And these animated adventures seemed more like a update of Filmation's 1977 Adventures of Batman and Robin animated series than the live action Batman tv series. Why does Commissioner Gordon have a moustache? He didn't have one in the tv series at all, he had one in the comic yes, but NOT in the tv series. They made no attempt to cast an actor who could imitate the voice of Neil Hamilton at all. The villains were in Arkham Asylum, not in Gotham State Prison as in the tv series. What they were doing was parodying the tv series which was parodying the comic. They could have done a much better job of capturing the feel of the original tv series, but they failed despite the fact that Adam West and Burt ward were doing the voices. I got rid of both of these dvds as soon as I could.
Adam West the BatSignal will forever shine your light!
Not only was Lee Meriwether gorgeous as Catwoman, but she played Miss Kitka in a way Julie Newmar couldn't have. Her scenes with Adam West as Bruce Wayne are excruciatingly deadpan and are one of the best things about the movie.
‘Some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb!’ Batman …my favourite line in this movie.
Rest In Peace Adam, your soul was baptized and immortalized by the Bat and all of yours fans
Seen this three times now.
This last viewing, it's a little harder to take.
Thanks again Mr Rose.
i wonder why
GREAT JOB GUY !! You did this classic era Batman proud !! I was born in 1967 , so with the constant rerunning of this show during my 1970's childhood - I literally grew up with this Batman first , then the comic books and later stuff like Saturday morning Superfriends , movies etc. - so this Batman is dear to my heart !! The amount of high quality work you put in on this video really shows !! For a (what looks like by the credits) completely DIY job - VERY IMPRESSIVE !! Thanks again !
A truly wonderfully respectful and very professional production done by a true fan. Kudos! Great job!
The more I watch the show on disc, the more I'm impressed by Frank Gorshin. Just a fantastic presence every time, with the delightful maniacal giggle and the great physicality. Mind you, I adore Julie's appearances on "Batman" (especially when Catwoman was disguised as a clumsy dance instructor or an old wealthy spinster, LOL); and of course Burgess and Cesar were terrific-- but I can't imagine the series without Mr. Gorshin.
It's so cool that the show finally got a proper video release after so much time passed; I honestly didn't think it would *ever* happen, because of intellectual property problems.
I still remember watching reruns each weekday afternoon when I was a kid in Long Island, fifty years ago (yikes!). "Batman" was a fun dose of escapism for a wimpy nerd like me.
The original Lincoln Futura of 1956 was designed and made by Ghia as a concept car but never reached production so Barris bought it in 1965 or 1966 to Ford in just $1 and took him $30,000 to shape it into the Batmobile for the 1966 movie, along with batbike, batcopter, batplane and batboat
This show and movie are just brilliant that it's almost transcendent. I've got the entire set on DVD and there was no episode that I didn't like.
A nice look at the show I grew up with. The casting of the show was perfect. Frank Gorshin was the only super-villain who scared me as a kid. He played the role semi-straight, so he always gave me the impression that he wasn't kidding. Julie Newmar was gorgeous, and so was Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt, although I liked Julie Newmar best. The other guest stars were great; everyone looked as though they were having fun doing what they did, low salary or not.
As for Adam West, he was always sort of wooden, but here, he was perfect. RIP, Bright Knight. You made my childhood fun.
"Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb!"
You missed one more animated voice work role for West as he played Batman again in the final Super Friends series, Super Powers, which featured an episode where the fateful night Bruce lost his parents was adapted out of the comics for the first time.
RIP Adam West
Excellent episode! Mickey Rooney was considered for the Penguin as well...
I prefers more serious Batman, but for campy, comedy Batman, you can’t beat Adam West! RIP!
8:21 imagine how many rare and expensive comics were in there... Hell there coulda been a 1st Edition of Superman in there
Simpler times. Today movies are over done... I prefer the older shows and movies
Few years later and we finally have the show on DVD
33:48-33:56 My dear sir, as the poet says; "On land, you may command. At sea, it is me." (quacks/squawks)
came across this by accident, was appreciative of the modified cartoon opening, was disappointed when the cartoon montage had apparently No Batman pic from the 68 Filmation cartoon...damn....
The law of this city is in your hands , we just try to help a bit , here and there , wherever we can. Iconic .
Burt Gervis - Jervis Tetsch, aka the Mad Hatter. Holy Coincidence!
Monkof Magnesia Robert McDowell? Whatever his name was, was the Bookworm in this show, and he was also the Mad Hatter in the Animated Series.
I find it more than just a little ironic that Burt chose the last name of "Ward" when the character of Dick Grayson was a 'ward' to Bruce Wayne.
Robin IS the Mad Hatter
@@samuelbarber4154 Roddy McDowell. Marvelous actor, voice actor...he's gone now, too.
still waiting For the 30th episode of the dvd shelf movie review
Update:the wait was worth it 👌
Been waiting a long time for that haha
up to 33 now, what'd ya think of 'em?
The best Catwoman ...ever ???!!! Julie Newmar....of course!
Benilton Maia right on, it sure wasn't Haley Mary? And it sure as hell wasn't Halle Berry
She was great but I actually prefer Lee Meriwether...
@@JohnSmith-kz8yo No love for Eartha Kitt?
Eartha Kitt is better the embodiment of a cat, fierce and sassy, with a supernatural tone who puts a spell on Batman not the other way around.
Plus Julie Newmar is a dude
@@marchionessamoretto7326 Uhhh no she isn't. She is and has always been female. The funny thing with me is I knew Eartha Kitt from when she voiced Yzma in The Emperor's New Groove and only later found out she was also Catwoman on the '66 show.
Very cool review!! Very informative. I remember the 60's Batman show and grew to love the Burton and Nolan movie but your review helped me to appreciate this camp classic. Keep up the good work, my friend.
The movies have two famous sharks: the Great White from Jawa and this one. 🦈
He was one of my favorite actors too play Batman
David Rose did it again!
great video man I watched it a while ago but I decided to watch it again today since Adam West passed away yesterday. Goodbye our old chum.
Timeless
1 hour???? I THOUGHT IT'S THE MOVİE İTSELF!!!!
lol fooled ya
1939-2021 , it's been 82 years now.
43:04-43:06 A laugh worthy of the Joker's more comical side
When Batman said to Kitka "She is a stranger to our shores" since I was young I thought it said "She is a stranger to our show"
The Batman DVDs came out in November 2014. This show needs to be updated.
usually a long video like this i skim thru it but you kept it entertaining. nice job.
Despite our great Batman's popularity, the short-lived Green Hornet had a hella lot more action than Batman !
when i was a kid i rented this EVERY single weekend. i think i destroyed their copy of the vhs from watching it too much
Awesome to see you back Dave!
Thanks! But this is one of the few older episodes we've be re-uploading lately to prep for our return very soon!
Yeah I do remember watching this a while ago, but still nice see you active her again :)
+Happy Dragon Pictures you're back Hooray!
Wabin22 hi
So batman is basically DC's Ironman
-both super rich
-both lost parents at a very young age
-both very clever
-both with no superpowers just very fancy gear
Huh
BATTASTICLY BATERRIFFICLY BATTASTIC! TRY TO HAVE A BATTASTIC BATDAY!
Coincidence... robin is batmans ward.. Burt changed his last name to ward
Came here after hearing the news. R.I.P Adam West. “To the batcave"
You will never know what it was like if you were not around in the 1960s it self being this was first to see before any other Batman got made for everyone at the time
42:10 Where does he GET those wonderful toys?
" I like the X - Men, now ."
Rip adam west
Wow, the 60s must've been awesome. Batman and Doctor Who in the same decade?
I so wanna buy this movie and the complete tv series, I am the biggest batman fan like no joke I love how batman is only human and yet Is still considered a superhero he is pretty inspiring tbh
Joshua Wright i just saw it yesterday in Walmart
yep
Batman is a superhero because he's so intelligent,in fact,he's a GENIUS!
So… You’re just gonna fully ignore Eartha Kitt? I mean… you just FULLY ignored Eartha Kitt 😡
3:36-3:39 I agree, Joker. This film is delicious
You missed the opportunity to replace the show clips with the HD versions from the Blu-Rays.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing! :-)
I bought Season 2 volume 1 while I was on vacation a couple of years ago in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
50:23-50:30 Now that's a Catwoman
21:41 Is that Lurch from The Addams Family?
ive got batman on the brain
This is all they had in the 1960s of a comic book on tv and movie theaters their was nothing else to see in the 1960s then this to see that paved the way for everything that came out later on tv and movies
Adam west made two new Batman movies in 2016 and 2017 for blu ray and DVD that were hits before Adam west died were done for the last time to see Adam west in a Batman movies
Well done That show first aired on my 7th b day soooo coool
awesome intro..... love it
i'm surprised you didn't mention the Kim possible episode the fearless ferrett
Well done old chap, well done.
Doctor Who and Batman in the same decade? Not to mention we also got Star Trek in 1966
well David your prayers have been answered i found the complete series at walmart
This is one of the Best Documentaries on Batman ever.
There's only one thing I don't like about this Joker, his pink outfit, it's meant to be purple.
Best Joker.
That blu ray is the greatest to buy over the DVD in buying and blu ray is different from the DVD
I brought both this film and the entire series on DVD on eBay.
In fact, the movie came with,
Batman (1989)
Batman Returns (1992)
Batman Forever (1995)
Batman and Robin (1997)
Batman Begins (2005)
The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
As well as Batman: The movie (1966)
31:48-31:50 Pure Joker
Where does he get those wonderful toys?
If it weren’t for the asinine and glaringly biased assertion that Eartha Kitt was the “Least memorable of the three Catwoman”, I’d have given it a thumb’s up but 👎🏾nope.
never forget
so I hate to be that person, but was this released prior to 2016 and just got reuploaded? Because if this did actually come out in 2016 then why are we talking like the DVD and Blu-Ray releases of the show never happened?
Good old Adam west 😭😥
I saw the original version of this video and I you used another image by Arlen schumer for bob Kane's original version of Batman. Did Arlen sue you for using his image, or did you just want to add a touch up to make the video look better?
i love it
Riddler totally flopped the Joker in this series !
Oh the 70's, the variety shows were intolerable!!!!!
Now all of the seasons of the Batman t.v. show are on blu ray and DVD for the first time all of them everything is on blu ray and DVD then what he is telling you its up to date with me telling you
I still want to know who PAM! is.
Total bait and switch. My children who LOVE DC comics wanted to watch the original 1966 Adam West film, not Dark Knight, not 1989 Batman, the original because they are fans. My son is wearing a Batman costume as we speak. I will happily pay $3.99 to watch this on Amazon but this video is falsely advertised.
How is this falsely advertised
I'm late to the party.... I was supposed to bring the dip SMH.. anyway I really enjoyed this retrospective I didn't know all of the influences between the comics and the show, provided me added appreciation to show.. good work ol chum..
If you want to like the Batman t.v. show you have to see the 1st season first and then the 2nd season of the show 2nd season and after that it's up to you to see and that was when the show was a big deal and not the 3rd season it was not a big deal and it only stayed a big deal over the years because of the 1st season and 2nd season and the Batman movie from 1966 that it still a big deal to this day and age for you to like this Batman from the 1960s
❤
a comment on one of animats videos sent me
❤❤❤❤❤
I love 66 Batman movie especially with sexy ,talented,pretty ms Lee Meriwether, legendary acting career
Burt ward. A 20 year old real estate agent????? Who would buy property from a 20 year old??
batman ninja kidz
51:10 And people think only Japan does seizure inducing stuff.....
I saw the tv.show 1st season when it came out and after I went to the movie theater to see this Batman movie in the theater in the next town were I lived to see the movie on the biggest movie screen when it came out for the first time to play in the movie theater and after I saw the 2nd season of Batman tv.show and then the 3rd season all of this in the 1960s when it was being made at the time before the repeated on t.v. for years
lol at 1:11:08- does anyone else agree?
Do Bruce Wayne and batman not have the same phone numbers if they do how would anyone in the movies or tv sows not notice that
On the red Bat-Phone there's only one button I.e no dialling system.😊
That was actually addressed in one of the episodes. Batman/Bruce Wayne had installed a device which redirected anyone who tired to trace the number of the Bat-phone. In the episode, Commissioner Gordon tried to trace the number (as they thought Batman had turned to a life of crime), and it was rerouted to a rich man who dressed like a bum and, not trusting banks, kept his money in his mattress.
And it's only one button anyway.
Monkof Magnesia It was rerouted to The world's richest and cheapest inventor Pat Pending.
@@Monkofmagnesia that's in one of the Catwoman episodes. It's the one with Leslie Gore as Pussycat.
Simplemente hay series de TV que nacen para tener un éxito rotundo de inmediato cuando un público de grandes y chicos está ya seleccionado para ello y este es el caso del Batman y Robin de la era del 1966 y están las series de TV que mueren con el tiempo y que no representan un interés de gusto para grandes ni chicos..............
