I don’t care how many versions of Batman are made, this will always be the theme.

Yes!

@@deoxys3869 but the cadence, the delivery, the timing.....this, this is art! :)

[@TryNotToHate1]

Captivating. Rich and well layered storytelling... It makes me envision Batman listening to this song, with headphones on, tapping his propped up feet.

[@DocRunaway]

Well, Hefti charged twice for the theme. Once for the music and once for the lyrics. true story.

[@upthedownescalator630]

This is the greatest Batman theme song version ever, an absolute classic for the ages

Adam West was Television's greatest Batman. R.I.P. Adam!

VERY VERY VERY FUNNY TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS

I have to second you on that. There are plenty of ways the film & TV industry portray him, but Adam West is THE definitive Batman.
