Gorshin's Riddler was also pretty layered; almost bipolar in his switch of emotions. It's a fascinating portrayal. One of my favorite tales was Adam West and Frank Gorshin getting thrown out of an orgy because they started doing their characters. The anecdote never went beyond that but I smile imagining Adam trying to separate couples as he says "Citizens, for the love of all that is sacred; control yourselves" while Frank goes around pointing and laughing at all the naked people.

This film was more ridiculous than the TV show even making fun of some of the riduculousness.

I'd never seen this film until now. It was great to see all the villians together when only one would appear each episode. I missed seeing King Tut!

[@victorsixtythree]

@@bobbentz5993 I suspect if you were to go back and watch the TV show you'd see it was equally ridiculous. I remember things like Batman challenging The Joker to a surfing contest, Robin getting eaten by a giant clam, Batman doing "The Batusi" dance....The "climbing the wall" bit was a running gag with numerous celebrities doing guest cameos as the person who opens the window and makes some funny comment. (Come to think of it the "open the window and say a joke" sounds a lot like the joke wall in "Laugh In" which began airing in 1968. I wonder if they got the idea from Batman?)

Golden Age Batman was violent as hell. Silver Age is when all super hero books were goofy. Horror, romance, military and western comics were more adult, but the stigma of super heroes being for children was firmly established in the Silver Age and is still present to this day. For the time, the over the top silliness and innuendo was meant to bring in young adults of the time. So it can be argued this is the first time Hollywood attempted to tap into the adult market for super heroes, and it worked. It was a short but highly successful run and an early example of movies/merchandise symmetry, I had all that stuff as a kid. Batmobile, Bat-cycle w/sidecar, Bat-copter, Bat-boat and anything else Bat.

Yeah the camp value was high on the tv series, although some of the comic book editions were nuts if you actually research some of the story lines, but I still think the repeated opening sequence where Adam West and Burt Ward go from the library down the poles and out of the Batcave is better than anything the films have come up with to this day. It still gets me every single time. I have actually been to the "Batcave" where the tv show was filmed. It's called Bronson Canyon. It's actually quite small, they sped the camera up on the opening sequence to make it seem as though the Batmobile was going faster than it really was. More than anyone else Adam West will always be Batman to me.

[@victorsixtythree]

Batman was created in 1939, so the character has over 80 years of history and he's been through many iterations by different artists and writers. The tone of the character has also varied over the decades. In the early comics, he was a dark, mysterious, detective. In the late 50's he started having absurd, sci-fi based adventures. The 1960's TV show and movie were, of course, the height of campiness. In the mid-80's he took on the dark, vigilante persona that is prevalent today.

[@wattsink2009]

It’s so wonderful to see someone new enjoying this classic interpretation of Batman! 😁 Not enough people respect this show for the brilliant, iconic, campy gold that it is!

Earlier Batman serials in the 1940's were more serious. The 1960's series was a phenomenon. Now you can see why the Tim Burton Batman was such of change after growing up with the campy show. Still have to love it for being true to itself.

[@magesentron]

I remember hearing it was a cut of outtakes, bloopers and bad scenes from those old serials that inspired the 66 Batman show/movie. They used to show these reels of "best of" footage at parties and i guess the people who made the series or film had a copy of one of those old edits, or maybe they were the ones who made the original reel itself, who knows.

The 60s series was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, and the movie just cracks me up every time I see it. The series was like a cosplay party with an open bar. It was a thing for Hollywood A-listers to appear on the show either as a villain or as a random cameo, especially being one of the people sticking their heads out the window when the Dynamic Duo were "climbing" a building. And remember, kids, tune in next week for more thrilling adventures. Same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel. (actual tv show sign-off.)

The Batman TV series was brilliant and innovative. I loved it as a kid, and as an adult, I love it even more.

This, this is the gloriously campy version of Batman that I grew up with (On reruns). If you enjoyed this, try the straight-to-tv Justice League movie (Called Justice League of America, 1997)

[@glennwelsh9784]

The show was silly and fun, with a tongue firmly planted in cheek. Around the 50's, comic books came under criticism for their perceived negative influence on children. So in response, Batman took on a much more lighthearted tone, which is clearly evident in the 1966 Adam West TV show and this movie. You can also see the influence this Batman would eventually have on 1997's Batman and Robin starring George Clooney. But by the time the 90's arrived, Batman in pop culture had returned to a serious and much darker tone, so Batman and Robin's throwback campy tone felt deeply out of touch with the modern interpretation of the character. With that said, there is still lots of nostaglic love for the Adam West Batman, so much that it was revived in a pair of Batman '66 animated films (with West returning to provide his voice before his passing) and a comic book series. And the '66 Batmobile is still one of the most recognizable and loved versions of the car.

This was my Saturday morning Batman growing up. It's probably why Batman is still my favorite superhero over thirty years later

This was the first Batman I ever saw (in re-runs) & it will always be my favorite. I had the tv show recorded on VHS when I was a kid so when the complete series came out I bought the 'limited edition Blu-Ray' with the hot wheel replica Batmobile. I love it. That series is just so much fun. If you loved the movie you should love the 1966 TV show. Only 3 seasons but back then there were a lot more episodes per seasons. Season 1 had 34 ep. Season 2 had 60 & Season 3 had 26. Side Note: In season 3 of the TV series, Eartha Kitt played Catwoman. She was the voice of Yzma in 'The Emperor's New Groove' & 'Kronk's New Groove'.

[@oliverbrownlow5615]

Eartha Kitt was known back then primarily as a singer. Her hit "Santa Baby" is still often heard around the holidays.

[@ScooterBond1970]

The main reason there were so many episodes, despite running only three years, was that for S1+2 the show aired twice a week, ending on a cliffhanger the first night which was then concluded the following night (that's kind of the vibe they were going for in the movie, whenever the heroes seemed to "die" off-screen then revealed to have escaped).

[@GusVIII]

I love how Batman’s reaction after realizing they fucked up, was to bolt out the window while everyone was distracted

[@ericjanssen394]

"Why do they keep throwing in scares like that?" Because the old 60's TV episodes were two-night cliffhangers ("Is this the end of our Dynamic Duo?...Tune in tomorrow, same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!") And you're lucky: Now that the rights have been ironed out, YOU get to watch the old episodes on Amazon and Tubi, we never got to for twenty copyright-limbo years.

For all it’s wacky characters, I have to admit they kinda nailed Penguin, even if he’s not as dark as he typically would be. He’s usually a mob boss. So far, this is the most comic accurate Penguin in live action interestingly enough. At least until The Batman gives us a new one.

This is one of my favorites to quote, along with American psycho (both being great comedies) “ Confound it. The batteries are dead!” “ It was noble of that animal to hurl himself into the path of that final torpedo” “ A sparrow with a machine gun. Of course!” And the line about the people drinking in the bar 😭💀 Mayor Adam West is a fkn G, this movie is straight up gold and I’m so happy this reaction has made it to KZbin. Shoutout Tim! 🙌

Based on how much fun you had with this movie, I’m going to recommend two other comic book movies from the 60s. Both cult classics! Though they may be based on comic book characters you’ve never heard of him. Based on comics from Europe. Both films from the year 1968. Thus both comic book films infused with 1960s sensibilities. You’l have a lot of fun with these. “Danger Diabolik” “Barbarella” Both these films are a trippy, wild ride and a lot of fun!

[@constantdvdcollector]

Great choice of movie. Batman (1966) is so underrated in comparison to various other depictions of The Dark Knight.

Batman in the late 1930s started as kind of a knockoff of "The Shadow".. and was pretty serious at first.... by the 1950's, almost all comic book superheros were campy and goofy as hell, especially once the "comics code" censorship was enacted. Then in the TV series hit in the 60s, which exaggerated the camp to EXTREME levels... the colors were made super bright basically to sell color TVs "BATMAN... IN COLOR" was how it was advertised. Then this movie happened... pretty soon people were burnt out by this goofy version of Batman.. and the show was cancelled. The comics in the 70s then tried to distance themselves form the "campy" batman by going the opposite route.. taking him back to his dark pulpy roots. In the 80s, Frank Miller (Sin City) redefined the "Dark Knight" batman.. with his Dark Knight Returns story.. then Tim Burton used that as the inspiration for his Batman, though his original movie, while dark, is still campy as hell.

The best Batman on par with Christopher Reeve's Superman (I advise you to look it up + Star Trek and Superman and Lois).

[@edith6797]

The original Superman movie is really good!!

[@TTM9691]

The TV show was way better than this movie. It's still campy, but way better. And Julie Newmar is THE Catwoman of all time, not Lee Meriweather (who substituted for her in this movie). You should watch the series; someone has to!

[@ZackaryBiagi]

I prefer Eartha Kitt.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

My favorite villain was King Tut.

[@CuteLesbo69]

Lee Meriwether for me, all day long.

@@ZackaryBiagi She was ok, but she had no chemistry with Adam West. If a person can't see the difference between Julie Newmar - who invented the Catwoman character as we know it, she wasn't like that in the comics - and Eartha Kitt who was fine, but had none of the sparks that Newmar did, nor did she have the physicality (Newmar was a dancer), nor the originality, nor the humor. It's great Eartha could purr like a cat, but that's pretty much it. The only reason why Kitt or Meriweather played Catwoman ever was because Newmar was making a movie.

The shows all ended in "cliff-hangers"

Oh man, memories! In the early days of Nickelodeon, they played the reruns of the original show, and I remember this on as a special. So horribly campy and so much fun!

Cesar Romero refused to shave his mustache.

When the Cw DC shows did their crossover , crisis on infinite earths , Burt ward did do a comeo which was cool. I'm sure if Adam West was still alive, he been there too.

Finally someone reacted to this one. I love this movie. Sooooo funny

[@peterbooth793]

When the TV 📺 show was on, all of the Hollywood A list of the day wanted to be a batman villain.

[@mem1701movies]

3:41 that lady was the AUNT. She usually played stupid women like Larry’s mom in LEAVE IT TO BEAVER. But she worked on components for the ATOMIC BOMB! (coming our way soon). P.S. my father was in the AIR FORCE with BEAVER

[@SuperTab2]

i probably wasn't paying enough attention, but did he not realize that batman and robin snuck out at the end because all the people were shouting in languages they weren't speaking before?

[@disneyfan5304]

[@thereallyst]

I used to LOVE BATMAN!!! Then in the 70s you had Spider-man, Hulk, Wonder Woman, The Green Hornet, Captain America and others. They were silly, but they were the first time you could see your favorite comic characters come to life. Good times.

The reason why the villains went pop in the batcave was that the penguin used soft water instead of hard water 😉
