New Hallmark ornament. COOL!
With batteries that Bat-Phone lights up and there is dialogue from the show.

Ha^!
Wrong franchise, but seeing the hypothetical Xover in signalman's avi, that ^ really should be this guy's getaway car.

Recent article about the Bat-Cycle.

A Batcycle + Robin's Go-Kart For Sale – An Adam West Era Classic (silodrome.com)

 

[Breogan]

The 66 Batcycle always seemed a bit off to me, with all the white elements and the "Z" swoop, yet it was still an interesting design concept, with the launching sidecar element. Always wondered what it would look like all black, and the red pinstripes more like its Batmobile counterpart?
Some quick photophakery to try something different...

Beatlemania!
Batmania!
Bondmania!? Was Bond ever coined a mania at the time?

Fantastic, Alex Ross?
He is definitely a huge fan of the era;

Good Morning América interview: 8/09/1983

Kirby Grant (I heard of Sky King, though I admit I never saw it), Guy Williams (Zorro), Adam West (Batman), and Van Williams (Green Hornet) all together.
I feel like Lone Ranger & Tonto should have been here too (although this might be around the time Universal started discouraging Clayton Moore from making public appearances invoking the Lone Ranger? Or just these were all specifically all ABC shows?

Has anyone seen, or can find the full interview, I'd love to see it?

Speaking of Batman, Green Hornet together, here joined by two more TV greats

Has anyone seen, or can find the full interview with these four TV heroes on the same stage, I'd love to see it?
I asked in the Disney Zorro thread - Disney's Zorro
Although Bat fans might cast a wider net...

Yes.....early and mid 60's there was a huge BondMania going on.
