This was one of the best campiest shows of the 1960’s. It was a phenomenon at the time. The list of actors and actresses that were guest criminals is astounding. Everyone wanted to be part of Batman. The show was only on 3 years with 120 episodes yet everyone knows this show and the theme song over 60 years later. How many shows in tv history can say that. Not many!! Not many at all.

[@markfryer9880]

I think that it being filmed in colour had a lot to do with it's first success. Take for example the difference between the pilot of Get Smart, filmed in black and white, and the rest of the series filmed in colour. The pilot looks so aged and that was the same for other shows filmed in black and white. They may have had initial success but they weren't going to succeed as well in syndication once shows filmed in colour reached the syndication stage. It is thus constant repeating of shows in syndication which has built up a vast audience with familiarity with these shows. Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@edwardcricchio6106]

@@markfryer9880 You are exactly right my friend. One of the draws of the biggest Hollywood stars at that time was the fact that Batman was filmed in color, as we say on this side of the pond.

This was to tell the saps without color tv that they were missing something extraordinary.

R.I.P Adam West, The Batusi will remain in our hearts.

[@Titan52berg]

No... it won't.

[@achilles_1118]

After watching The Batman, this scene really shows how our mentality's changed over the decades

[@JMAN11380]

You needed to watch the new movie to realize that?

[@djo-dji6018]

The 1960s were not all dancing in silly costumes.

[@digodeu-xe4ws]

it shows how batman changed, youre comparing apples and oranges

[@CannonfireVideo]

Younger folk, I'm here to tell you: This video captures the 1960s. That's pretty much the way they were. Every day. Throw in the occasional political assassination, and you have the complete 60s act.

[@captainactionman01]

Batman isn't REAL skippy.

[@AdventureMaster18]

the best of the best No it beats it easily. Batman v Superman was meant to be a serious dark film and came off stupid. Batman 66 was meant to be a comedy and came off funny as hell! One succeeded at what it was trying to do, while the other didn't.

[@lucientintenebris7331]

the best of the best Uh, yes it is. It was 50s Batman adapted to the 1960s hipster scene and feel.

[@AsylumSaint]

I am convinced this is the peak of human society.

[@negligible_reality]

this is the highest point of human culture and nothing can ever hope to surpass it

[@KonElKent]

In his autobiography, Adam West recounts the filming of this scene. He's giggling and gyrating, and this studio suit was on set, after the call of "cut", the suit says "Batman doesn't dance like that." Adam responded, "He's drugged. How do you dance when *you* are drugged?!" The suit spun on his heel and stomped off.

[@monicaromerodohnken4328]

RIP Adam West…BRILLIANT!

[@beachgirl_bev]

The writing on this show is so sharp, it still holds up as one of the best comedy shows even to this day.

[@RebelGodessRed90]

Oh my goodness, Adam West was definitely the funny Batman! He was so adorable as Batman. That Batusi gets me every time. Pharaoh was so pleased with it! 😂😂😂

[@doubleuponbob3397]

Also please remember that Adam West was hung like a horse. It makes it so much fun to think about that big, fat trouser snake in those tight batpants. Adam West is a legend.

[@TheReddg71]

Adam West doesn't get the credit. He rightfully deserved, for his portral of Batman! He deserved to have a small part in every Batman movie that came out. Before his passing.

I remember watching this when I was growing up in the early '80s !! I loved this show. So today I introduced the Batman dance to some second graders and they went crazy doing the dance!! It was so fun to see them embrace it and love it. We had fun doing the Batman dance ( The Battusi) .

Batman dancing is one of the perfect examples of how weird this show is and perfect that the first of two times had to be right in the first episode.

[@StephanieLærkeAndersen]

Ben Affleck has got a lot to live up to in his next outing as Batman. This may be as camp as a row of pink tents, but Adam West completely nailed this.

[@evanhammerman616]

Adam West nailed the series! And now he plays himself in Family Guy.

I thought that was an awesome touch in the show. I was like, "I wonder if there's people that have no idea that it homage to this, and how we can tell them?"

[@Catcrumbs]

Well, now I know why Batman doesn't dance any more.

[@AdventureMaster18]

Catcrumbs ...Because it was to awesome for humans to handle!

[@ohroonoko]

It’s because after his last dance with Molly, Batman couldn’t save her as she slipped out of his grip and fell into a nuclear reactor in the Batcave and tragically died in a puff of smoke.

[@paulnash9851]

There’s a special place in heaven just for Adam West. Best Batman ever (don’t @ me it’s true) A true hero, role model, and brilliantly thrilling entertaining and funny. Bless you AW sir, thank you for such great childhood memories.

I don't think people realize that this show was supposed to be intentionally humorous from the very beginning, not just a product of the 60s that aged terribly, therefore making it funny to watch.

[@WakandaBabe]

Exactly, it's 'camp' at its best.

[@bonchbonch]

Oh, I think that's obvious from watching it. It's very campy.

[@steveweinstein3222]

This show (finally) made Mid-America aware of Camp.

Don't call this cheesy, remember it was the 60s when this came out.

[@cansnake]

ReaperhunterB no the series was intentionally cheesy even by the standard in those days, the studio wouldn't let them make a serious batman show because they didn't think it would be popular

[@mitchmanexe243]

It was also fed by the insane amount of regulations for violence put on comics at the time, also cheesy or not I still love this show

[@Ironbat92]

Back when Batman could let loose and have fun.
