Batman is an American live-action television series based on the DC Comics character of the same name. It stars Adam West as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Burt Ward as Dick Grayson/Robin-two crime-fighting heroes who defend Gotham City from a variety of archvillains. The series focuses on Batman and Robin as they defend Gotham City from its various criminals. Although the lives of their alter-egos, millionaire Bruce Wayne and his ward Dick Grayson are frequently shown, it is usually only briefly, in the context of their being called away on superhero business or in circumstances where they need to employ their public identities to assist in their crime-fighting.

The "Dynamic Duo" typically comes to the aid of the Gotham City Police Department upon the latter being stumped by a supervillain, who is usually accompanied in their appearances by several henchmen and, in the case of male villains, an attractive female companion. Throughout each episode, Batman and Robin follow a series of seemingly improbable clues, also known as bat logic, to discover the supervillain's plan, then figure out how to thwart that plan and capture the criminal.

That is such a great observation! Here's something I found in at least two episodes: In The Black Widow episode, the overview of Gotham City is Boston, MA. It's from 1968, so the newer Hancock Tower isn't there yet, but you can clearly see the old Hancock, the Prudential Tower and, what first grabbed my eye, the gold dome of the Massachusetts State House. I'm a Bostonian, born and bred (and butter...), so seeing that gave me special pride.

A friend of mine used to own the Batcycle from the movie. I remember him telling me it was a Yamaha. He sold it several years ago and I think it's in a museum now.

To me, there's not much noticable difference between the '66 Imperial Crown and the '65 Imperial that was used as Black Beauty in the Green Lantern series. Beautiful cars either way.

2:30 - Judging by the shape of the Dagmars on the front bumper, I'd say the flipped over Rolls-Royce is actually a '54 Cadillac.

@johnh5701 Ай бұрын

At the 2:00 mark, the Rolls Royce sequence is a different car in the different scenes. It starts all black with red seats that may or may not be a Silver Cloud I. The next scene shows a Silver Cloud III which is 1963-66 because of the 4 headlight configuration. The final scene is a Silver Cloud I (or possibly II depending on the year), but it is now two tone with gray seats. It is obviously 3 different cars!

@dr.plutonus1496 13 күн бұрын

In the clip from episode 1, Molly & The Riddler set off in a Series I Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, but in the next shot it's a Series III - distinguished by its twin headlights, as opposed to the single headlights of the Series I. Holy continuity error Batman! 😂

If I had money to burn, I would have a replica built for me but with a twist: It would be a full-EV. Consider this: Robin jumps into the Batmobile and says, "Atomic Batteries to Power, Turbines to Speed." That atomic pile at the rear of the Batcave was there to provide the atomic power to the Batmobile. Hence, it was an EV.

@jasonrodgers9063 Ай бұрын

What does an EV use a TURBINE for? What's the source of the FLAMES shooting out of the rear of the Batmobile? Or, we could just "roll with it", and be entertained!!

Not to take away from this great video, but FWIW the Sunbeam Alpine at 7:18 is a Series V. The Series IV had metal panels that covered the convertible top when stowed, and the vinyl cover shown in the video was introduced on the Series V. Another clue is the square corner doors and hood (bonnet), which were only on the Series V.

I always have to laugh at these shows when the crimefighters always get the best parking space there is when they drive up to whatever building or place they are going to. I see that in Batman, Magnum P.I. and other shows known for their vehicles.

Point, the Batmobile was a 1955 Lincoln Futura. Saw a replica at the casino in Ontario. Canada back in the mid 70's at Niagra Falls Skylon Tower museum. It was felt, don't recall the producers of Batman 66 Commissiong a felt Batmobile. Good times. Batgirl....GRRRR! Catwoman....MEEEEOWWWW WOW WOW!

Fantastic info! The only corrections I believe are necessary come at the 9:00 mark. The Cadillac appears to be a ‘65 while the Mustang which drives by in the foreground is a ‘67. Otherwise, incredible work and incredibly entertaining.

@robertschmalbach9840 Ай бұрын

Don't know about the Mustang but the video is correct about the Cadillac. It's a 1966. You can tell because the cornering lamp is in the fender, rather than being attached to the front bumper assembly. 65 cornering lights filled the whole space between the headlight and wheel well below the trim line and above the bumper. Also, You can see the divider bar in the grille, which also marks it as a 1966. Edit: that's the convertible at 9:00. You can see the differences by looking at the Cadillac at 9:12, which is a 65 and shows the bigger cornering light nicely. Great video, I'm really enjoying these (and still hoping for Perry Mason one day!)
