The Batman (1966) Appreciation Thread

I recorded that movie on VHS when it premiered on CBS. Unfortunately, my VCR can't connect to my modern television so the tape is now gathering dust somewhere.

It's readily available on DVD...

Picked up the Blu-ray a few days ago. Picture quality is amazing on this one!

Batman 66.

Okay

Why can't there be any news about the series? I'm more excited about this than Superman vs Batman.

 

[AnneFan]

I'm still pinching myself, that this series is coming out to buy. I wish they'd hurry up and release some details.

I hope they make a movie based on the Batman 66 comic by Jeff Parker

 

[Sawyer]

That would be awesome for one of the DTVs.

With Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin, of course.

 

[BlueLightning]

That's a neat idea! I totally would go for it.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

...I would buy that in a heartbeat.

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

I believe many people would It's still popular after so many years.

I would even buy a video game based on Batman 66, or something like itt: I was a bit disappointed when the rumors about a silver age Batman game turned out to be false.

The scene were Batman and Bruce Wayne both talk to Gordon, using two phones, is pure comic gold.

Also watched 'The Great Escape' from series 3 today. I love the scene where Bruce is having something to eat with Gordon and Barbara. Gordon calls the batphone, Bruce twists his cufflink which activates a warning for Robin in the bat cave, who turns on a pre-recorded message, answering Gordon. Only on this show!

Here's an excellent Batman '66 archival website, with letters, scripts, budgets etc:

Two interesting things I discovered in the letters section:

• Catwoman was THE MOST popular villian with children by the end of 1966.
• Bob Kane asks William Dozier for a better and more legible screen credit.

Dammit, Warner Bros, I need a press release of some sort.

We must invent a time machine!

Would you:

A: Travel back in time and watch the show?
B: Travel forward in time and watch the dvd?
C: Kill and eat dinosaurs?

 

[BlueLightning]

With a Time Machine, you could do all three.

I got your reference. It's from The Avengers, when Captain America understood the reference to The Wizard of Oz. Great movie. The Wizard of Oz, I mean. And Avengers too, of course...fantastic.
