Batmobile startup

[@cdale613]

When I was a kid back in the 60's & 70's this was my favorite show. Every episode had them jumping in the car and going through the same procedure to start it up. The sound they gave that car was awesome. Simple show without the hightech computer graphics. Great Stuff!!! Thanks for posting it.

[@markfryer9880]

CGI just doesn't cut the mustard! It's getting better but they keep overdoing it, and bragging about it, instead of just quietly feeding it in.

[@CaptainRockoBD]

It’s a pretty bad show from todays standards tho. Great nostalgia.

Can't we all agree that Adam West's Batman had the best Batmobile?

[@benwasserman8223]

Keaton's batmobile makes a strong case as challenger.

[@ablemagawitch]

Amen! Preach it Brother!!

[@kevin10001]

Adam’s batmobile is an automotive work of art caused George barris understood what the car she be even though the car was made from a Lincoln futura there was multiple made for the show so only the first car was the futura the rest were either for falcon or galaxies probably due to similar wheelbase

[@RickyRegal.]

A lot of people say that the older Batmobile’s look better because they’re aesthetically pleasing but the newer Batmobile’s have been made for realism.

[@richardromero8867]

Definitely

[@jaseys]

Thanks for posting, one of the most well cast shows is history. The way they slide down the poles and jump into the Batmobile is really fantastic when you watch it even now. Such grace, the flow of the capes. The costumer probably never got the recognition they deserved either, here’s hoping they did.

[@kennethoats2322]

The coolest 27seconds ever in TV history 💪💯

[@00bikeboy]

It was pretty great !

[@waynemacfarland1546]

Of all the actors who have played Batman, Adam West was the REAL Batman among them all! May he RIP.

Atonic bat too power that whirling sound omg sweet then the turbines too speed sound goosebumps

[@kevin10001]

Nothing beats the sound of the turbine engine and the blast from the flam thrower out the back

[@jamessanto9745]

Love that turbine sound, atomic battery to power turbines to speed . Great show . Adam West is the best Batman. The show is as old as me 1966 .

[@darrenkeady6570]

Iconic scene and I always loved the flame thrower at the back.

[@jerseykaari]

Grew up in front of the TV in the 70s with these shows. To this day, if I ever strike it rich (obv. hasn't happened yet), as I've forewarned my friends and family ----- I will be buying my own Batmobile!! Somehow, they think I'm joking.

[@markfryer9880]

I don't think that you are joking! TV series Batmobile obviously!

[@kevinlane7555]

50 something years later, and that car still looks cool

[@ameliawarfield5637]

I always liked the Batmobile startup!

[@mikemadonna9449]

Love it, so many great memories!

[@rah1420usa]

I like when every so often they have a mobile shot from inside Bronson Cave to simulate leaving the Batcave. Doesn’t appear too often but I always enjoyed that POV.

[@rubenowitzv.3135]

Legendary & Timeless 👀✨

[@marcuscarbonaro7089]

0:06 Was always my favourite scene. Classic ✨

[@tonygant2448]

I remember my Pops and Uncles showing me this for the first time back in the 90s. Mind you, the Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer movies were out, along with Batman TAS. I remember thinking, "wth is this?" Lol. I didn't appreciate it back then, but I do now.

[@kevin10001]

I found his series during the hype for the first Michael Keaton movie when I was 5 years old and instantly fell in love with it and over the years I have gown to love Batman as a character but this series and movie are special to me cause it’s where it all started for me

[@modelermark172]

This will always be cool! As a sidebar, this scene was taken from the episode, "The Minstrel's Shakedown," which I recently re-watched. Though I wasn't too impressed with The Minstrel when I first saw this episode when it first aired, (I was seven, and would have preferred to have seen The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin, or even Catwoman,) I now have a much better appreciation of this off-the-wall character portrayed by Van Johnson: The Minstrel was - if not THE FIRST, then definitely one of the first - depictions on TV of what would now be called a Cybercriminal. Though The Minstrel's caper was necessarily more "hands-on" than anything that their 21st Century counterparts do, (sneaking in to plant electronic devices - BIG electronic devices,) it still involved "hacking" the Gotham City Stock Exchange and the local Television Station to commit his crimes. In many ways, The Minstrel was WAY ahead of his time.

[@LionsTigersBears]

Way ahead of its time.

[@vassa1972]

I was born 50 years ago and remember this show on reruns

[@hanktorrance6855]

Safety first kiddies, even super crime fighters always fasten their seat belts 😀 such a great show, full of the imagination and gadgetry of the space age...

[@MatthewJBarnetteOO7]

Nostalgia. Pure nostalgia.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

They made the best shows back then.

[@waynemacfarland1546]

RIP, Adam West, the REAL Batman!

[@tankhalffull]

Such a great show...

[@SDK-im8sl]

The big turntable for the Batmobile was great. If I recall, it was only revealed and shown in operation near the end of the 1st season, maybe first in the 1966 movie...? Before that, viewers were left to wonder how did it get turned around between arrival and departure? Did Alfred have to go down there and make a 5-point turn with it?

[@JungleYT]

*Years later when I learned about "undercranking", that explained how it was able to move so fast! Very clever show, including Dutching camera sideways anytime they visited a crook... Still, I thought the startup sequence was LONGER?*

[@Luther-1968]

As a kid, this scene always got the pulse going, moving out to face who knows what

[@raymondyee2008]

0:18 so “Wing Commander 3” got the lines from there in the startup sequences.

Not possible it was dismantled lot long after filming the episode Minerva, Mayhem and Millionaires that was the series finale not knowing that not long after doing it that nbc would want to acquire the series but declined after hearing that sets were dismantled and didn’t want to pay to have them put back together

[@RobertGoldman-o2p]

Unless Wayne Manor is located away from other homes, when the Batmobile left the Batcave, other neighbors would see it and figure out where Batman lived and who he really is.

[@robinorlowski2449]

apparently it was located away from other homes. But yeah a passerby could probably connect the two. Then again it was the 1960's.

[@LionsTigersBears]

Always always buckle up for safety. Then initiate atomic power to turbine.

[@robinorlowski2449]

it's interesting bc seatbelts were not a regular in cars throughout most of the 1960's. They only became standard in 1968. Showing batman and robin regularly buckle up probably served as a PSA.

[@joeljr.5286]

Why does this Batmobile have a red light on top of it?

[@markfryer9880]

OK, time to 'fess up! Who says the Start Up Sequence when you jump in your car and your in a hurry? Somehow the car never lets you down when you say that sequence!

[@DeanCoretso]

Atomic power in a car in 1966 wow

No, just the battery to start it with!

As a kid in 70"s, black and white tv, was wonderful this show and many others like, Time tunnel, Voyage to the bottom of the sea, Lost in space, Get smart. No lgbt, vegan, enviromentalist, anti racist groups to complain about nothing. Today batmobile would need to be pink painted, Robin would be a transgender woman, no punchs, no Penguin, etc..
