niev300 Yep. If Batgirl swung in on a rope to kick whoever, she was in the episode. And at the end of the opening, she rode across the screen on her Batgirl cycle. Plus, she was only in season 3 anyway.
I was blessed enough to get an email from Yvonne Craig right before she died. I had thanked her for her work in Hollywood and she replied: "Thank you for the kind words." She passed away about a week later. A very beautiful lady.
batman made my sunday mornings as a kid, but batgirl was the icing on the cake. my #1 worst batgirl moment is alicia silverstone, she cant do it like yvonne craig!
Detriment or not, Batgirl DID add more fun and camp to the show, and don't underestimate Yvonne Craig. A trained ballet dancer (Ballet Russes, I think), she did all her own stunts, and truly "took no prisoners! THANKS for posting this entertaining compilation!
I love love Yvonne craig..as a kid..Batgirl was ALWAYS my fave..always got excited to see and ..hear her Batgirl cycle at the beginning of the opening credits..RiP Yvonne Craig..u will be missed!
In the USA Network's "Back to the Batcave", Adam West and Burt Ward were reminiscing about how the show's ratings began to plummet in the third and final year. West sadly opined, "Not even Yvonne Craig in that skin-tight leather suit could save us!"
+VariedVids Wow I am shocked that she passed. I didnt know she passed until I read your comment. I was born in 1980 and I loved the Batman show. The first time BatGirl came to the scene... I had a instant crush on her.She will be missed. RIP beautiul
I loved this classic series, (as so many others did and still do) especially loved Romero:s Joker, Meridith's change smoking Penguin, and Gorshin's Riddler, I even enjoyed Eartha Kitts portrayal of Catwoman, I enjoyed series 3 as much as 1 and 2, my favorite stories from series 3 are Jokers UFO story and the Catwoman/Joker story with Mr and Mrs Keeper ''i'd better go and vacuum the upstairs bedroom!'' My husband has fond memories of the series as his grand mother was personal friends with Cesar Romero. Imagine TV portraying a chain smoking Penguin today, the so called do gooders and the PC brigade would have a fit with their leg up showing yesterday's washing!
Just heard the very sad news that Yvonne Craig has passed away...thank you so much for making Batman such a great TV show..the films today are fun..but your 1960's TV series is and always will be the definitive version...hope you are sharing a couple of cocktails with Burgess today & reminiscing...RIP
Julie Newmar was the best Catwoman, followed by Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns. I never liked Eartha Kitt as Catwoman, although she was great in other roles.
"We wouldn't want her to think we can't fight our own battles."-Batman Next caption-"Batgirl rescued Batman and Robin from being entangled in a net trap." This was excellent comedic timing.
That number one moment for Batgirl is really the number one moment for Alfred! He nimbly dodges Penguin's umbrella blade and then dukes him out. Batman: "Alfred, what took you so long?" Alfred: "Sorry, sir, I had some bird trouble on the way." ROFL!!
I saw reruns of this show online when I was younger. I sometimes wonder if Batgirl's kicks hurt more than Batman's punches (especially when she kicked a couple goons in the face). OUCH.
@@yourfabuloushappymann5154 except for the cuban missile crisis and the suez crisis .the war in vietnam. The kennedy assassinations and chappaquiddick. medger evers malcolm x and martin luther king. The manson family. Tv was great BUT NOT THE NEWS
Man i was a little kid in the early 70's and reruns of BATMAN with batgirl made me melt, i had a crush on bat girl and cat woman the tall cat women but bat girl was thick in all the right places very very hot!!!
Yvonne Craig 's Batgirl was an inspiration for me. As a child I didn't see the phony fight moves ( those are ballet kicks! But truth be told, Adam West fight style was not much better) All I saw was a powerful woman, toe to toe with Batman and Robin. It gave me hope that I could be whatever I wanted to be.
alpha centauri Your ears are clearly better than mine. Still, given Batgirls stunning figure, I wouldn't have been too surprised if my first guess was correct.
Behind the scenes there was a ton of debauchery. West and Gorshin went to orgies together, that sort of thing. West, by the way, was a prima donna, which is why Robin seems useless on this show even though Silver Age Robin was an expert chemist and cryptographer, fluent in several languages. (In the comics, this became a thing where he can't turn it off. The Teen Titans banned him from playing Clue or watching any mysteries.)
I know it made for an interesting story line (to have Alfred know both identities and not tell), but I always thought that Alfred should have got Bruce, Dick, and Barbara together and revealed who everyone was. It would have made for some interesting interactions as civilians.
Nice compilation. When I was a kid, I used to live for Batgirl when they aired the repeats. It was always a special treat for me. Then when her 26 eps were over, I would get depressed....Childhood memories...Yvonne Craig remains one of my idols.
Batgirl was the best thing that happened to the 60's Batman tv show!!!! What a game changer!!! I watched this show every chance I got as an 8 or 9 year old... My older brothers much perferred Dark Shadows, so I didn't get to watch it every week... I can tell you this, I am really enjoying watching these videos.... Thank you..
+Gray Fullbuster depending on what age you are, they moved to IFC and recently MeTV, these stations play oldies shows , and shows from yesterday such as the Honeymooners, and Batman
Great little time capsule of a good show. It was 1966 and a campy TV show was in. Batman was often imitated but the other shows were no competition. Adding Batgirl in season 3 was a great move.
THANKS for this amazing Batgirl compilation. Before her Batgirl gig, Yvonne Craig was a dancer, she was with the Ballet Russes (not sure if that's spelled right), and did all her own stunts!
Minerva: But actually I am, but actually I am, but actually I am. But actually I am! Batgirl: But you're actually a what? A repetitive nuisance? Minerva: But actually I am... what you said. So? I have my rights to be repetitive! Batgirl: Minerva, Worst Moment #1- Minerva says the same thing four times.
Great compilation! The only thing I would add to her Cossack mishap is when she falls over her mask slides forward. But that's just me being nitpicky. :-) Very well selected clips!
When I was a kid watching these shows back in the 60's I didn't think to appreciate the beautiful girls they had on a regular basis. Now I watch these and ...WOW! Holy hard-on Batman!
Back in the mid to late-60s, us kids were only allowed to watch one program a day. We chose Batman....and when Batgirl guest starred, that was the icing on the cake. ha ha Great memories.
I just loved Ethel Merman, and she was terrific in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", and she was a delight in Batman and of course in that little cameo from the movie "Airplane".
Same here. I also remember her in kissing cousins and a star trek episode. I never realized she was 30 ish in Batman. I was thinking I was in love with an older woman of 18.
What a fantastic body. Not just any woman could fit into that Batgirl outfit like she did. Doesn't get much sexier than that whether it's the 1960's or the 2060's... RIP Yvonne Craig.
Peter Parker you are correct sir that is actually the late 60s and early 70s if I remember right it was during the same era of the original Scooby-Doo first broadcasted
Bruce Wayne or Batman is such a good actor that he keeps fumbling with the net as he exclaims "We don't need your help Batgirl" whilst he can't even free himself from the net - little things like that made this show so good - extra Camp sauce please
Probably because nowadays people believe that women are omnipotent/ Omni intelligent or should be omnipotent / Omni intelligent when it comes to the comics / TV shows based on them. But back then this thing was filmed they actually still cared about writing and some reason why it may be cheesy but they were still a cohesive narrative and characters weren't Mary Sue's and Gary Sue's and could actually act like humans.
I remember as a kid you could tell by the opening credits if it was a Batgirl episode. Always made it better.
niev300 Yep. If Batgirl swung in on a rope to kick whoever, she was in the episode. And at the end of the opening, she rode across the screen on her Batgirl cycle. Plus, she was only in season 3 anyway.
Yvonne Craig 5 16 1937 -- 8 17 2015
Passed due to complications of breast cancer .
Thanks for the childhood memories ...
Rest In Peace
John she was 78 when she died
:-( There is nothing but the best of Batgirl. She remains my favorite part of the show. RIP, Yvonne Craig.

It feels weird to upvote this. I had no idea she had died. Batgirl was obviously frustrating at times, but Yvonne Craig was still an inspiration.
miss AND LOVED her
I can't believe the Penguin T-bagged Batman & Robin!
The look on Batgirl's face here is priceless. 8:30

She straight up murdered Louie by spraying him in the face with a bio weapon :D
Nice touch, you've got to admit. Best part is he told her that and she shrugs and does it anyway.
Batgirl was hot.

Yvonne Craig was a great Batgirl. Love Eartha Kitt as Catwoman. PUUUUURRRRRRR
Julie Newmar was the best Catwoman, followed by Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns. I never liked Eartha Kitt as Catwoman, although she was great in other roles.
Ah, the era of the pointy bra!
Yvonne was absolutely beautiful, what a great talent
Batgirl has some impressive hips!
and thighs ;-)
And titties
Probably because the actress who played her was a professional dancer.
Amen to that!
I was SO jealous

That number one moment for Batgirl is really the number one moment for Alfred! He nimbly dodges Penguin's umbrella blade and then dukes him out. Batman: "Alfred, what took you so long?" Alfred: "Sorry, sir, I had some bird trouble on the way." ROFL!!
“WE CAN FIGHT OUR OWN BATTLES” batman screams whilst being trapped in a simple net with absolutely nothing holding it down or tying it shut
I love her constant random smiles and laughs :)
I was 7 years old when watched this Batman Tv series and I was in love with Batgirl..So pretty and cute..
I saw reruns of this show online when I was younger. I sometimes wonder if Batgirl's kicks hurt more than Batman's punches (especially when she kicked a couple goons in the face). OUCH.
Alfred was once a boxer. He handled Penquin well.

I had the biggest crush on her. She was so sweet and gorgeous.
This is amazing! Mad props to whoever made this. Number 9 "after Robin's wrong answer" LOL awesome
RIP Yvonne Craig
RIP same Bat time Same Bat Channel
Met her at a comic con a few years back sitting next Erin gray of buck Rogers fame. Both ladies were both stunningly beautiful then. Rip Yvonne Craig.
RIP Yvonne Craig! thanks for bringing Batgirl to life on the small screen!
I continue to watch it multi times! great video!
0:45 The Penguin says "Ride her like a filly". Never knew this kind of stuff was in these old Batman episodes!
Peter Piper I believe he says "Bridle that filly".
alpha centauri Your ears are clearly better than mine. Still, given Batgirls stunning figure, I wouldn't have been too surprised if my first guess was correct.
Peter Piper Indeed, there's no doubt about her stunning figure. A real knockout (BAM!).

I swear that's what it sounded like.
Behind the scenes there was a ton of debauchery. West and Gorshin went to orgies together, that sort of thing. West, by the way, was a prima donna, which is why Robin seems useless on this show even though Silver Age Robin was an expert chemist and cryptographer, fluent in several languages.

I had an insane crush on Batgirl when I was a kid!
I know it made for an interesting story line (to have Alfred know both identities and not tell), but I always thought that Alfred should have got Bruce, Dick, and Barbara together and revealed who everyone was. It would have made for some interesting interactions as civilians.
RIP Mrs. Craig, out of all the actress to play Batgirl, you was the most beautiful at fighting crime.
As a child, this show had me so confused.
Whether I was in love with Catwoman- Julie Newmar or Batgirl-Yvonne Craig. 😜
Why not both?
@@frankcabanski9409 Exactly!
Or 50 the hench girls especially Joan Collins
Nice compilation. When I was a kid, I used to live for Batgirl when they aired the repeats. It was always a special treat for me. Then when her 26 eps were over, I would get depressed....Childhood memories...Yvonne Craig remains one of my idols.
You nailed it perfectly with this list.

IMHO - No such thing as Worst for Yvonne Craig. ;-D
They're just "best moments" farther down the list!!
I laughed when robin said it looks like small tadpoles!
Great Scot Batman, it's sperm!!!
WORST Batgirl moment was when she, Batman and Robin lured those explosive mechanical mice into the lake by playing flutes. ♣
WOW the oldies Batgirl was HOT. How come I didn't know about this show sooner? #RIPyvonneCraig

Absolutely outstanding show with legendary supporting players. Great show!
Eartha Kitt as catwoman was perfect. I loved when she spoke French. Even doe I do love julie newmark.
Newmar.
"Holy wiggle, Batman! They seem to be a bunch of tadpoles!"
"Batgirl?"
"No, Robin, they're spermatozoa!"
Still love the fight effects, "Bam" "Pow" recently saw Batman Harley Quinn where they brought it back. "Break", "Bleed", "Ow my balls!"
Holy Nothing Left To The Imagination, Batman!
There is no worst of Batgirl
Yvonne Craig was the bomb!

Very nice clips!!! Thank you for posting this!
"you can't go in there, you're a woman" lmao that's a win and i haven't even made it half way through the video yet... lol
The music is absolutely incredible! Of course, so is Batgirl ;-)
Batgirl Rules
I just loved Ethel Merman, and she was terrific in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", and she was a delight in Batman and of course in that little cameo from the movie "Airplane".
I loved watching Batman in the mornings when the reruns were on before school...
Sorry Alicia Silverstone...there is only one true Batgirl.
I was always so angry when batgirl didn't appear on the show, when I was a child watching it growing up.
Same here. I also remember her in kissing cousins and a star trek episode. I never realized she was 30 ish in Batman. I was thinking I was in love with an older woman of 18.
Batman taught us that there is a spary or aerosol for EVERYTHING!!!!!
UncleBiscuits79 hell yeah 😊👍
A little girl I know drew me a picture of Batgirl recently & I love it!
What a fantastic body. Not just any woman could fit into that Batgirl outfit like she did. Doesn't get much sexier than that whether it's the 1960's or the 2060's... RIP Yvonne Craig.
All Alfred need is a jab to finish penguin...what a beast
was only 7 when watched BATMAN still love it now...when going to Manhatten ...say to the BAT MOBILE lets GO
@ 5:15 to paraphrase Loki in the Avengers "Batman, are you ever NOT going to fall for that?"
Awesome especially when you realize Ms Craig wasn't allowed to punch anyone.
I wish this show had gotten more love during its time. I loved Batgirl and the Riddler. My two favorites.
the Batgirl fight music is like.." ...Bat girrrrrrl...BAT-girl. bat-girrrrrrrl, BAT-GIRL...!"
Ahhh, the days when TVLAND had cool shows ....Great clip!
I love it! "Batgirl Antidote Pills!" It's like a cartoon!
Did they really need shirts that said, henchmen?
Yes, because if they didn't wear henchman shirts, you would never recognize them being Penguins henchmen...
Jeremy Davis This was way back in the 90s. What did you expect?

HENCH FOR LIFE
as a comedy the old batman has been so genius
I can't believe she had to save Batman and Robin from a net...A freaking net. That's it. Seriously, wtf?
It was a ACME Bat Catching Net.
WOAH NO...
NOT ACME!!!! OoO
I know, but they were really stuck.
It's funny, that's what they want to do. Same thing with the joker and the knock out pill and she had to come lol
Bruce Wayne or Batman is such a good actor that he keeps fumbling with the net as he exclaims "We don't need your help Batgirl" whilst he can't even free himself from the net - little things like that made this show so good - extra Camp sauce please
Say what you want but when I watched this TV series I was 7 to 8 years old and I was in love with this woman..This and also the actress of batwoman
Wow...I forgot about Vincent. Thank you!
In what wild stretch of the imagination were there any bad Batgirl scenes?
The only bad Batgirl scenes are the ones with her theme song (mercifully only heard twice).
Probably because nowadays people believe that women are omnipotent/ Omni intelligent or should be omnipotent / Omni intelligent when it comes to the comics / TV shows based on them. But back then this thing was filmed they actually still cared about writing and some reason why it may be cheesy but they were still a cohesive narrative and characters weren't Mary Sue's and Gary Sue's and could actually act like humans.
Only the ones she appeared in.
There were none.
For this 12 year old... she was... DA SHIT!!!!
They could have just had her just standing on screen for the entire show and I would have watched it.
i would have exchanged some bat-teria with her !
Batgirl was great! I love how Alfred 3 pieced the penguin! Great memories, R.I.P. Yvonne, we love and miss you
She can beat the crap outa me and throw me in cuffs anytime she wants!
unfortunately she;s gone to the great Batcave in the sky.
