Hollywood's Own: Batman '66

Burt Ward, Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether and more look back at the legacy of the original 'Batman' TV show.
The icons gathered at the Hollywood Museum for the opening of "Holy Hollywood, Batman: A Batman ’66 Retrospective," a new exhibit collecting props, costumes, and more from the series.
Take a look back at the wildly popular television series “Batman” which premiered in 1966 with “Hollywood’s Own: Batman ’66.” Featuring brand new interviews with original cast members Burt Ward (“Robin/Dick Grayson”), Julie Newmar (“Catwoman”) and Lee Merriwether (“Catwoman”), the stars reminisce about the start of production in Los Angeles and what it was like to make over 100 episodes in 3 years. Joined by a long list of celebrity “Bat-fans” including Los Angeles City Councilman Mitch O’Farrell, we go back in time at the world's famous Hollywood Museum to get a sneak peek of its latest exhibit, "Holy Hollywood History! Batman 66 " featuring a huge collection of original props, sets, costumes and vehicles from the smash hit TV series.
This original MeTV documentary first aired on MeTV Los Angeles.

I was 10 in 1966. I saw this in a theater with my friend. We both got booted out for laughing too loud, so we had to stay for the second show. "Shark Repellent" cracked us up. We "got it!

Long live the '66 Batman series !!!

[@gmatt200]

I watched it on DVD with my 14 year-old daughter and she loved it. We laughed our way through it.

This is telling you that the show has not stop and will go on forever for the people to come in the years to come

[@carydavidhoffson4483]

They should keep this for ever so people can go on seeing this future for the the show to have for years

[@DavidBDavis-lz7bt]

@bucky468 Did it ever come to be? It sounds great. I remember in the late '90s there was a Marvel Mania theme restaurant at Universal CityWalk; this would probably have that same vibe. I know I'd like it.

[@DavidBDavis-lz7bt]

@bucky468 Ah. Well, it was a nice idea, anyway.

[@bicpapermate]

Wally does an almost perfect Riddler. I guess that makes Wally an impressionist of an impressionist.

Love everything about Batman 60 show!

[@carydavidhoffson6014]

There is more to see of this Batman then any other ones who have played Batman

[@willmack5909]

I only wish Adam had lived long enough to attend this.

[@annaoneal1797]

Will Mack I know. I wish that if Adam West's alive he would be happy and proud.

[@kevinmiller1985]

@@annaoneal1797 Agreed on that. Same with all the other actors who played the guest villains-Vincent Price, Shelley Winters, etc.

[@kevinmiller1985]

On the old Get Smart t.v. series 99 had an obvious crush on Max, but I don't think she'd go so far as to jump on him from a ladder mounted on a wall.

[@zacharylee1995]

I think Adam West did actually Live Long enough to have a Great Happy Life though, He was also a Voice actor from The Simpsons and a couple of episodes from SpongeBob and stuff like That

[@sexymama1966]

Nice to see Ms. Newmar and Ms. Merriweather

[@spider88able]

i love batman

[@carydavidhoffson4483]

Should stay open for ever and never close it so know one will forget this kind of place were people can go to who never saw the show

[@zacharylee1995]

So very glad that I own The Adam West Batman TV Series on Blu-ray, This Series is a Classic ☺️

[@carydavidhoffson6014]

People like the tv.show from seeing it every day ànd the reruns on t.v. and get to know adam west from seeing the t.v. show and more so when it came out on blu ray and DVD you can see it more of Batman with blu ray and DVD

[@carydavidhoffson6014]

This shows èverything to the people of today not just the tv.show but èverything from the 1960s Batman t.v. show that people now do not know about ànd never saw before all the things that a fan of the t.v. show back then can buy from the stores in the 1960s

Wally WIngert voiced The Riddler in the animated Return of the Caped Crusaders and the follow-up with Two Face.
