Der Uhrenkönig The Clock King. Der beste Trick der Welt Zatanna.Kitt's performance as Catwoman would also, later, inspire Halle Berry 's portrayal of the character in the film Catwoman , in which Berry would mimic Kitt's famous purrs.
Frank Gorshin, the original actor to play the Riddler, returned for a single appearance after a one-season hiatus, during which John Astin made one appearance in the role.
The nature of the scripts and acting started to enter into the realm of surrealism. In addition, the third season was much more topical, with references to hippies , mods , and distinctive s slang , which the previous two seasons had avoided.
The show featured numerous adaptations of various Batman comics stories — particularly in its first season. These first-season episodes were adaptations:.
Each story relied on using the same formula, so that the audience quickly came to expect a series of familiar set pieces: a phone call from the police asking for Batman's help, a dash to the Batcave, a race in the Batmobile to police headquarters, a conference in the Commissioner's office, investigating the scene of the crime, examining clues in the crime-lab at the Batcave, rushing to the villain's secret hideout, falling into the pre-arranged trap.
By relying heavily on a formula, it became easy to spoof various elements of that formula. The typical story begins with a villain's caper such as stealing a fabulous treasure, kidnapping a prominent person, or attempting to take over Gotham City.
Helpless to stop the villain, they contact Batman via the Batphone — a bright red telephone that provides a direct phone link to Batman be it at Wayne Manor, the Batcave or the Batmobile.
Frequently, Wayne and his ward, Dick Grayson , are found talking with Dick's aunt, Harriet Cooper , who is unaware of Bruce and Dick's secret identities.
Alfred discreetly interrupts and they excuse themselves to go to the Batphone in Wayne's study. Upon learning the details from Gordon, Wayne turns a switch concealed within a bust of Shakespeare that stands on his desk to reveal two fireman's poles hidden behind a sliding bookcase.
The title sequence features animated versions of Batman and Robin, drawn in the then-current style of the comic books, running towards the camera and then fighting an assortment of villains, including several "marquee" villains such as the Joker and the Penguin.
Similar in style and content to the s serials, Batman and Robin would arrive at the bottom of the Batpoles in the Batcave in full costume a large painted sign hanging on the wall beside the Batpole, next to a lever that Batman pulls, on the drop, says: Instant costume-change lever.
They then jump into the Batmobile. Robin checks the gauges and reports, " Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed. As the Batmobile approached the mouth of the cave actually a tunnel entrance in Los Angeles' Bronson Canyon , a camouflaged door would swing open and a hinged road barrier outside the Batcave would drop down to allow the car to exit onto the road.
The duo then speed to police headquarters to meet with Commissioner Gordon and be briefed on the criminal they must thwart.
Most of the footage following the opening title sequence, from Batman and Robin sliding down the Batpoles through to their arrival at police headquarters was stock footage , reused in each episode.
After the National Safety Council complained that Batman and Robin should set a good example, the stock sequence was changed to show them fastening seat belts part of a national buckle-up campaign by the NSC before starting out.
The initial discussion of the crime usually leads to Batman and Robin conducting their investigation alone, although the police are often used for assistance and to implement plans or traps that Batman devises to catch the villain.
This usually results in a meeting with the villain, a fistfight with the villain's henchmen, and the villain's escape, leaving a further series of unlikely clues for the duo to investigate.
Later, they would face the villain's henchmen again, be captured and one or both heroes placed in a deathtrap leading to a cliffhanger ending, which was usually resolved in the first few minutes of the next episode.
The latter part s of multi-episode stories begins with a brief recap of the first part s. After the opening credits and the theme music, the cliffhanger is resolved.
The same general plot pattern of investigation and confrontation repeats in the following episode until the villain is defeated in a major brawl. The series used a narrator executive producer William Dozier , uncredited who parodied both the breathless narration style of the s serials and Walter Winchell 's bombastic narration of The Untouchables.
In the third season, when single-episode stories were introduced, the narrator would end the show by encouraging viewers to tune in the following week.
During the climactic fistfights in each episode during the first season, the punches and other impacts were punctuated by onomatopoeia sound effects superimposed in bright colors over the action on the screen, as in comic-book fight scenes "POW!
As a money-saving device, after the first season, instead of being superimposed over the fight scene, the sound effects were merely printed on cards and inserted into the action.
Despite the regular fighting on the show, Batman and Robin typically use non-lethal force; only three criminal characters die during the series: the Riddler's moll Molly played by Jill St.
In the film, six criminals die in total: five henchmen are dehydrated by the Penguin in order to infiltrate the Batcave, but this plan fails when the henchmen unexpectedly disappear into antimatter once struck.
A sixth henchman is presumably killed when he is caught in a trap meant for Batman and sprung into an exploding octopus.
Twice, the Catwoman Julie Newmar appears to fall to her death into a bottomless pit and from a high building into a river , but returned in later episodes.
In "Instant Freeze", Mr. Freeze freezes a butler solid and knocks him over, and sound-effects suggest that he is shattered into pieces. A later reference suggests the butler survived.
In "Green Ice", Mr. Freeze freezes a policeman solid; it is left unclear whether he survived. In "The Penguin's Nest", a policeman suffers an electric shock at the hands of the Penguin's accomplices, but he is presumed to survive, as he appears in some later episodes.
A catch-phrase popularized by the series was Robin's saying "Holy [subject], Batman! This phrase was parodied in the film Batman Forever.
In many episodes, Batman and Robin must get to a high point of a building or other structure. They do this via the Batrope which is thrown and anchored above the high point, and which Batman and Robin climb by walking up the side of the structure with the aid of the rope.
The climbing sequences were filmed by rotating the camera 90 degrees and building a set for the "side" of the structure along the studio floor.
The heroes' capes were pulled back to replicate the pull of gravity with invisible lines. In many episodes, celebrities made cameo appearances by popping their heads out of windows along these climbs to speak to the heroes.
In one episode, Catwoman's hideout is a hair salon owned by a "Mr. The real-life inspiration for the character, hair stylist Jay Sebring , appears uncredited during the fight scene and has a couple of spoken lines.
The villains commonly have henchmen whose names are somehow associated with the villain's identity; for example, Catwoman's henchmen have cat-related names like Felix and Leo.
Characters commonly use alliterations. Examples include Batman referring to the Joker as a "hateful harlequin" and the Penguin calling Catwoman a "feline floozy".
Egghead was tricked into disbelieving his discovery, though, as was Tut in the episode when he bugged the Batmobile. In the episode when Tut tunneled into the Batcave, he was hit on the head by a rock, which made him forget his discovery and jarred him back into his identity as a mild-mannered professor of Egyptology at Yale University.
While under the spell of the Siren Joan Collins , Commissioner Gordon found the Batcave beneath Wayne Manor and deduced Batman's true identity, but Alfred gassed him to prevent his informing her, the memory of the discovery gone after leaving the Siren's spell.
The show's campiness was played up in elements, including the design of the villains, dialogue and in signs appearing on various props.
Most of Batman's items in the Batcave, bat-vehicles and on the utility belt were given superfluous and simplistic block-letter labels, even though Batman, Robin, and Alfred, the only people who used the equipment, clearly knew what all of it was.
The Bat Computer frequently had a different sign on top, depending on the specific function it was to perform in that episode.
Many of the futuristic props decorating the Batcave — including the Bat Computer itself — were borrowed from another 20th Century Fox TV show filming on the adjacent lot, namely Lost In Space.
Viewers saw easily recognisable props from the Lost in Space Jupiter 2 set presented on Batman , without any attempt at disguise or re-dressing, as the show appeared to send even itself up.
Near the end of the third season, ratings had dropped significantly, and ABC cancelled the show. NBC agreed to take over the series, but before it could do so, it discovered that hundreds of thousands of dollars of Batman sets had been destroyed.
Rather than rebuild the sets, NBC dropped the project. From the beginning, cameras were purposely placed out of level with the set known as " Dutch tilt " , and characters were filmed from high and low angles.
This technique was most often used when filming on the set of a villain's lair to lend a surreal, comic-book quality to the scenes, as well as to imply or merely remind the viewer that the criminals were crooked.
Several cast members recorded music tied into the series. Adam West released a single titled "Miranda", a country-tinged pop song that he actually performed in costume during live appearances in the s.
Burgess Meredith recorded a spoken-word single called "The Escape" backed with "The Capture", which consisted of the Penguin narrating his recent crime spree to a jazz beat.
Freeze", and "Batman Blues". It was reissued later on compact disc. On April 10, , the website tvshowsondvd. Prior to the announcement, multiple conflicting reports were given for the reason the series had not been released officially.
These included:. This affected the television movie reunion Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt , also released to DVD, which was able to make use of footage only from the movie.
With Batman being unavailable for home-video release until , an unusual situation occurred in which material that would be considered DVD featurettes was released separately.
In , Image Entertainment released Holy Batmania, a two-DVD set that included documentaries on the making of the series, as well as rare footage such as the original screen tests of the cast and Lyle Waggoner.
It was released on DVD March 11, This documentary talked a little bit about the series and included an interview with Adam West.
On November 11, , Warner Bros. Television critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked Batman as the 82nd greatest American television show of all time in their book titled TV The Book , stating that "West's performance, the brilliance of which has required decades to be properly recognized, played as if series creator William Dozier and chief developer Lorenzo Semple Jr.
The anarchic gangs of supervillains and henchmen that kept trying to capture or destroy Gotham City stood in for the forces of chaos that kept threatening to engulf so-called civilized America throughout the sixties, only made colorfully grotesque and knowingly silly.
A film based on the television show, Batman , was released in The film was originally intended to be produced before the series as a way to introduce the series to the public.
However, the series' premiere was moved up and the film was forced to wait until the summer hiatus after the first season.
The film was produced quickly to get into theatres prior to the start of season two of the television series. The film did not initially perform well in theaters.
Originally, the movie had been conceived to help sell the television series abroad, but the success of the series in the United States was sufficient publicity.
The film was shot after season one was filmed. The movie's budget allowed for producers to build the Batboat and lease a helicopter that would be made into the Batcopter , both of which were used in the second and third seasons of the television show.
West and Ward announced at the Mad Monster Party that one or two Batman animated movies would be released in with the two doing voiced roles as their characters for the show's 50th anniversary along with Julie Newmar returning.
Two-Face was released on October 10, The film starred William Shatner voicing Two-Face as the main antagonist. This was one of Adam West's final performances before he died from leukemia.
In , DC began publication of Batman '66, a comic book series telling all-new stories set in the world of the —68 TV series.
Jeff Parker writes the series, which features cover art by Mike Allred and interior art by different artists each issue. Penguin, Joker, Riddler, Catwoman and Mr.
Freeze also appear in the series. Issue 3 of Batman '66 introduced the Red Hood and Dr. Holly Quinn into the series continuity. The series was to have introduced Killer Croc into the continuity, as well as a new villainess named Cleopatra.
Issues 23 through 28 were mainly dedicated to introducing villains from the comics that either were not used, such as Solomon Grundy , Poison Ivy and Scarecrow , or did not exist at the time, such as Bane , the Harlequin Dr.
Quinn's criminal persona and Killer Croc who was introduced earlier as one of King Tut's henchmen, but gained a focus story. In April , the first five issues were compiled into the Batman '66 Vol.
The six-issue miniseries began publication in June Mike Allred would return to create the main covers with Archie artists creating the alternative covers and interior art.
Bluewater Comics has released a series of comics that take their cue from the TV show. The Mis-Adventures of Adam West is a four-issue miniseries and a regular series that ran nine issues.
The Secret Lives of Julie Newmar is a four-issue miniseries and Burt Ward, Boy Wonder was going to be a four-issue miniseries, but has not yet been published in full although a promotional first issue was released for Free Comic Book Day.
Van Williams and Bruce Lee made a cameo appearance as the Green Hornet and Kato in "window cameos" while the Batman and Robin were climbing a building.
This was in part one of a two-part second-season episode of the Batman TV series, "The Spell of Tut", which aired on September 28, Later that same season, the Green Hornet and Kato appeared in the two-part second-season episodes A Piece of the Action and Batman's Satisfaction , which aired on March 1—2, Once Gumm's crew was defeated, Batman and Robin squared off against the Green Hornet and Kato, resulting in a stand-off that was interrupted by the police.
In this episode, Batman, Robin and the police consider the Green Hornet and Kato to be criminals, although Batman and Robin were cordial to the duo in the earlier window appearance.
In the February 3, Green Hornet episode "Ace in the Hole" which aired between the September and March Batman appearances mentioned above , Batman and Robin can be seen climbing a building on a television set.
Burt Ward as "Robin" was not included in this appearance. Upon seeing the skies turn red, the former Boy Wonder shouts "Holy crimson skies of death!
The Batman character appeared in four public service announcements. They were usually accompanied by several bands before the featured event that saw Batman and the Riddler exchange corny jokes as well as a song performed by West.
The company Stern released the pinball machine Batman '66 , based on the TV series, in December It is the first Stern game that features a full color LCD in the backbox instead of a Dot-matrix display.
Starting in , an enormous amount of Batman merchandise was manufactured and marketed to cash-in on the TV show's vast popularity. This includes trading cards, bubblegum cards, scale model kits of the Batmobile and Batboat, coloring books, and board games.
Items from this particular era have gained substantial collector appeal with their remarkable variety, scarcity, and style. While the series was first-run on ABC, packet cover indicia reflected the "Bat Craze" cultural phenomenon by referring to the booklet as a Batbooklet, Dynamically illustrated.
By the time the television series was cancelled in and GAF had taken over the View-Master product, Batbooklet was removed in favor of then-standard View-Master packaging for all future releases in the decades to follow, right up to the period when the standard packet line was discontinued.
The first season's superimposed fight onomatopoeias were not used for the View-Master's scenes of fights.
Instead, black-lined "blast" balloons transparent inside , and series-like onomatopoeias were illustrated and superimposed over fight images.
I beat up the sofa cushions with just as much enthusiasm. And don't even get me started on the car Batmobile , the boat Batboat , and helicopter Batcopter which I absolutely had to have in Corgi miniatures still have mine in a box in the garage, along with James Bond's Aston Martin and the Monkeemobile.
And all the kids knew the Batman song. Looking back at it now, I see that even though Adam West and Burt Ward, two relative unknowns at the time, never really recovered from being typecast, just about all of the supporting actors were accomplished in either films, tv, or the stage, such as Cesar Romero and Victor Buono check him out in "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane" , and they managed to continue their careers.
A few, such as Eartha Kitt, used the "Batman" series as a springboard to other things I saw Kitt's performance as the Wicked Witch in "Wizard of Oz" on stage and she was fantastic.
But whatever their future careers became, they turned in quality performances on the show. I always had a thing for both Cat Woman all 3 of them and Batgirl.
The costume designers really knew how to show off a woman's curves in those tight-fitting catsuits with big metallic utility belts and high-heeled shoes, but I suppose that was the fashion back in the late's.
They probably fit right in with the mini-dresses and go-go boots the other girls were wearing. Your kids will love the show and will watch it again and again.
You'll enjoy it the first two times you see it, but then it'll get stale and boring. But just remember, no matter how grim things get when the Riddler and Joker have Batman and the Boy Wonder hanging over a vat of acid or encased in a gas chamber, the Dynamic Duo always manage to pull out a can of Bat Rope Dissolver or Bat Gas Begone and show up to defeat the villains each week at the same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.

Stanley Ralph Ross , Stanford Sherman, and Charles Hoffman were script writers who generally leaned more toward campy comedy, and in Ross's case, sometimes outright slapstick and satire.
It was originally intended as a one-hour show, but ABC changed the premiere date from Fall to January of that year.
With the network having only two early-evening half-hour time slots available, the show was split into two parts, to air twice a week in minute installments on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
One affiliate refused to air the series. The network insisted it needed the extra advertising revenue. Freeze , and the Mad Hatter , villains who originated in the comic books, all appeared in the series, the plots for which were deliberately villain-driven.
According to the producers, Frank Gorshin was selected to portray Riddler due to the fact that he was a Batman fan since childhood. Catwoman was portrayed by three different actresses during the series run: by Julie Newmar in the first two seasons, by Lee Meriwether in the feature film based on the series , and by Eartha Kitt in the third and final season.
The show was extraordinarily popular, and was considered "the biggest TV phenomenon of the mids". Semple's participation in the series decreased in the second season.
In his autobiography Back to the Batcave Adam West explained to Jeff Rovin, to whom he dictated the autobiography after rejecting an offer to contribute to The Official "Batman" Batbook written by Joel Eisner, that when work on the second season commenced following the completion of the feature film, Dozier, his immediate deputy Howie Horwitz, and the rest of the cast and crew rushed their preparation.
Thus, they failed to give themselves enough time to determine what they wanted to do with the series during season two.
By season three, ratings were falling and the future of the series seemed uncertain. To attract new viewers, Dozier opted to introduce a female character.
He came up with the idea of using Batgirl , who in her civilian identity would be Commissioner Gordon's daughter, Barbara, and asked the editor of the Batman comics to further develop the character who had made her debut in a issue of Detective Comics.
The show was reduced to once a week, with mostly self-contained episodes, although the following week's villain would be introduced in a tag at the end of each episode, similar to a soap opera.
Accordingly, the narrator's cliffhanger phrases were mostly eliminated, most episodes ending with him encouraging viewers to watch next week.
Aunt Harriet was reduced to just two cameo appearances during the third season, due to Madge Blake 's poor health and the issue of trying to fit so many characters Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Chief O'Hara and a guest villain into a half hour episode.
Another cast change during the final season was replacing Julie Newmar , who had been a popular recurring guest villain as the Catwoman during the first two seasons.
Singer-actress Eartha Kitt assumed the role for season three, as Newmar was working on the film Mackenna's Gold at that time and thus unable to appear.
In the United States , Kitt's performance in the series marked the second mainstream television success of a black female, following Nichelle Nichols as Lt.
Uhura in Star Trek and continued breaking the racial boundaries of the time. Kitt's performance as Catwoman would also, later, inspire Halle Berry 's portrayal of the character in the film Catwoman , in which Berry would mimic Kitt's famous purrs.
Frank Gorshin, the original actor to play the Riddler, returned for a single appearance after a one-season hiatus, during which John Astin made one appearance in the role.
The nature of the scripts and acting started to enter into the realm of surrealism. In addition, the third season was much more topical, with references to hippies , mods , and distinctive s slang , which the previous two seasons had avoided.

The show's campiness was played up in elements, including the design of the villains, dialogue and in signs appearing on various props. Most of Batman's items in the Batcave, bat-vehicles and on the utility belt were given superfluous and simplistic block-letter labels, even though Batman, Robin, and Alfred, the only people who used the equipment, clearly knew what all of it was.
The Bat Computer frequently had a different sign on top, depending on the specific function it was to perform in that episode. Many of the futuristic props decorating the Batcave — including the Bat Computer itself — were borrowed from another 20th Century Fox TV show filming on the adjacent lot, namely Lost In Space.
Viewers saw easily recognisable props from the Lost in Space Jupiter 2 set presented on Batman , without any attempt at disguise or re-dressing, as the show appeared to send even itself up.
Near the end of the third season, ratings had dropped significantly, and ABC cancelled the show. NBC agreed to take over the series, but before it could do so, it discovered that hundreds of thousands of dollars of Batman sets had been destroyed.
Rather than rebuild the sets, NBC dropped the project. From the beginning, cameras were purposely placed out of level with the set known as " Dutch tilt " , and characters were filmed from high and low angles.
This technique was most often used when filming on the set of a villain's lair to lend a surreal, comic-book quality to the scenes, as well as to imply or merely remind the viewer that the criminals were crooked.
Several cast members recorded music tied into the series. Adam West released a single titled "Miranda", a country-tinged pop song that he actually performed in costume during live appearances in the s.
Burgess Meredith recorded a spoken-word single called "The Escape" backed with "The Capture", which consisted of the Penguin narrating his recent crime spree to a jazz beat.
Freeze", and "Batman Blues". It was reissued later on compact disc. On April 10, , the website tvshowsondvd.

On November 11, , Warner Bros. Television critics Alan Sepinwall and Matt Zoller Seitz ranked Batman as the 82nd greatest American television show of all time in their book titled TV The Book , stating that "West's performance, the brilliance of which has required decades to be properly recognized, played as if series creator William Dozier and chief developer Lorenzo Semple Jr.
The anarchic gangs of supervillains and henchmen that kept trying to capture or destroy Gotham City stood in for the forces of chaos that kept threatening to engulf so-called civilized America throughout the sixties, only made colorfully grotesque and knowingly silly.
A film based on the television show, Batman , was released in The film was originally intended to be produced before the series as a way to introduce the series to the public.
However, the series' premiere was moved up and the film was forced to wait until the summer hiatus after the first season.
The film was produced quickly to get into theatres prior to the start of season two of the television series. The film did not initially perform well in theaters.
Originally, the movie had been conceived to help sell the television series abroad, but the success of the series in the United States was sufficient publicity.
The film was shot after season one was filmed. The movie's budget allowed for producers to build the Batboat and lease a helicopter that would be made into the Batcopter , both of which were used in the second and third seasons of the television show.
West and Ward announced at the Mad Monster Party that one or two Batman animated movies would be released in with the two doing voiced roles as their characters for the show's 50th anniversary along with Julie Newmar returning.

The Animated Series was accompanied by a tie-in comic book, The Batman Adventures , which followed the art style and continuity of The Animated Series instead of other Batman comic books.
The Batman Adventures , through several format changes to reflect the changing world of the series and its spin-offs, outlasted the series itself by nearly a decade, finally being cancelled in to make way for the tie-in comic of the then-new, unrelated Batman animated series; The Batman.
The character of Harley Quinn's first official comic appearance occurred in issue twelve of the series. It has become highly sought after by collectors and fans of the character.
There was also a short-lived series of tie-in novels, adapted from episodes of the series by science fiction author Geary Gravel. To achieve novel-length, Gravel combined several related episodes into a single storyline in each novel.
The novels included:. DC announced in February that Paul Dini, Alan Burnett and artist Ty Templeton would be leading a new mini-series, Batman: The Adventures Continue , to be first published in April , based on the animated series and following shortly after its conclusion, with Tim Drake still adjusting as the new Robin to Batman.

In his reference book, Batman: The Complete History , Les Daniels described The Animated Series as coming "as close as any artistic statement has to defining the look of Batman for the s.
IGN listed The Animated Series as the best adaptation of Batman anywhere outside of comics, [47] the best comic book cartoon of all time, [4] and the second-best animated series of all time after The Simpsons.
During this time they created The New Batman Adventures , which featured the same streamlined animation style as Superman: The Animated Series , as well as numerous character re-designs from the original series despite taking place in the same continuity.
This was continued in by Justice League Unlimited , featuring a greatly expanded League. The dramatic writing and stylized art of Batman: The Animated Series separates it from many traditional comic book-based cartoons.
It can be considered the dramatic equivalent of more adult-oriented cartoon shows like The Simpsons. For this reason the show's popularity along with that of its various spin-offs endures among older audiences and comic book fans.
The Lego minifigures of various Batman characters are more strongly based on the designs from Batman: The Animated Series than any other form of Batman media.
