To the unsuspecting public, and Police, they are Bruce Wayne, billionaire, and Dick Grayson, his nephew. However, to Alfred, their butler, they are Batman and Robin, scourge of Gotham City's criminals. Whenever the Police encounter a crime they cannot solve or criminal they cannot apprehend, it's Batman to whom they turn. Wealthy entrepreneur Bruce Wayne and his ward Dick Grayson lead a double life: they are actually the crime-fighting duo Batman and Robin. A secret Batpole in the Wayne mansion leads to the Batcave, where Police Commissioner Gordon summons the Dynamic Duo on the Batphone with the latest emergency threatening Gotham City. Racing to the scene of the crime in the jet-powered Batmobile, Batman and Robin must (with the help of their trusty utility-belts) thwart the efforts of a rogues gallery of flamboyant arch-villains, including the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler and the Catwoman. This is probably the best Batman show you can watch in history and the dark knight This camp series of "Batman" was largely unavailable due to a long running court battle over the copyright. Luckily, that has been settled and now this classic show can be enjoyed once again on DVD and Blu Ray! Part of the enjoyment of "Batman," is that it isn't to be taken seriously in the slightest. After all, none of the actors involved took it seriously. The only exception being Neil Hamilton as Commissioner Gordon. According to reports, he kept telling some of the other actors to take everything about the show seriously! The old fool! Adam West is still the definitive Batman in the minds of most fans of the comic book. I can understand why and he does have an international following. Long may his legacy continue. I do enjoy his rendition a great deal and I laugh every time he delivers his lines in his own style when trouble is afoot. Burt Ward ideally compliments Adam West as his sidekick, Robin. They have great on-screen chemistry. I always thought it a big mistake when Batgirl was included, she didn't fit in. My favourite villains are the Joker, the Penguin and Catwoman. Caesar Romero brings his character vividly to life and I can envisage him as the Joker from the comics during the 1960s. Burgess Meredith made the Penguin character his own as far as I'm concerned. I know there were three different women as Catwoman but Julie Newmar tops them all. She is one hell of an actress and she plays Catwoman with sex appeal, conviction and her scenes with Adam West light up the screen! Frank Gorshin is suitably zany and larger-than-life as the Riddler. He plays his role well and I enjoy seeing him chuckle in that manic way. There are other good villains besides. Otto Preminger made for a good Mr. Freeze and is the best one. Elia Wallach and George Sanders are still good though when they played the same character. Vincent Price is terrific as Egghead, this kind of series being right up his street. One villain of whom I am curious, is the one of False Face. To this day, I still don't know the identity of the actor who played him. His name wasn't given on the credits and he was listed under a question mark. There was hardly any money spent on the "Batman" show and it this is clearly in evidence. However, I can't recall many television shows that were produced on anything resembling an extravagant budget. The police department of Gotham City can't be up to much if they keep needing the help of Batman and Robin all the time! Then again, it wouldn't be the same if they weren't needed. The fight scenes are a laugh in themselves, what with those big words appearing on the screen every time someone is punched or kicked. There is nothing remotely disturbing about the fight scenes, it just gets a bit silly! I thought it wiser to keep the episodes about 23 minutes each because the public can only suspend their belief for so long. Each story was covered in 2 parts which is a good idea. I can't understand why for the last season, the episodes were extended to 50 minutes. They don't work quite so well. A classic series for the whole family.
In the original DC comics, this series and the Batman movie that came along between the first and second seasons, it was millionaire Bruce Wayne and his young ward, Dick Grayson. Since the mid 90's, Bruce Wayne has been portrayed as a BILLIONAIRE in DC comics. Alfred, Bruce Wayne's loyal and faithful butler. In the comic book, Alfred's last name is Pennyworth, but it is not mentioned in the television series or the film. He's proper full name is Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth. In the comic book, Commissioner Gordon 's first name is James, but it is not mentioned in the television series or the film. He's proper full name is James Worthington Gordon, Sr. Batman's base of operations. Beneath stately Wayne Manor. They gain access to the Batcave via Batpoles hidden in Bruce's study. There is a hidden switch inside a bust of William Shakespeare that, once flipped, causes a false bookcase to slide open, revealing the poles. In the first season, by elevator. Starting in the second season (and something else shown in the 1966 feature film), compressed steam causes a platform at the base of the Batpoles to go back up. Midway down the Batpoles, there is an "Instant Costume-Change Lever." This was depicted in the 1966 feature film that came out in between the first and second seasons of the television show. The Batmobile, an atomic reactor, the Batcomputer and other devices. Two primary methods: the "hot line," apparently a dedicated telephone line, and the Bat Signal, a spot light with a bat logo on the top of Gotham City hall. If that's attempted, Batman has an alarm that goes off. He then can flip switches that send the trace to other telephone lines. This is shown during the second season when Gordon attempts a trace after it appears Batman has gone bad. 14 miles. Gotham City is a fictional U.S. port city located on the north-eastern Atlantic coast. It was originally a stand-in for New York City, but has also been likened to other crime-ridden urban centers such as Chicago and Detroit. Some sources have placed Gotham City in the state of New Jersey; however, this cannot be considered definitive. The Gotham City of "Batman" (1966) seems to be a direct analog for New York City. This is supported by the fact that there are visible references to a number of actual New York landmarks and location; Jack Dempsey's Restaurant can even be seen in the background in some of the rear-projected Batmobile footage.<br/><br/>The current DC Universe version of Gotham City is actually a small island connected to the mainland by a series of bridges and tunnels. The east and south sides of Gotham face the Atlantic Ocean. The city is further divided by the Sprang River (named for Dick Sprang) on the northern end and the Finger River (for Bill Finger) to the south. Tiny Blackgate Isle to the south-east is home to Blackgate Maximum Security Penitentiary. Blackgate is replaced by Stonegate Peniteniary in the animated series "Batman" (1992) and its spin-offs. His parents were "murdered by dastardly criminals," as he states in the pre-credits sequence of "Hi Diddle Riddle," the first episode. This fits in with the DC comics. In the DC comics from the 80's, the shooter of Bruce's parents was identified as Joe Chill, although, the Batman movie (1989) with Michael Keaton tried to state that it was a young Jack Napier long before he became the Joker. The "big four" are The Riddler, The Penguin, The Joker and Catwoman. The role of the villain Two Face was Offered to Clint Eastwood, but producers felt that The Character would appear too frightening for children. However he will be included in a sequel to Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders (the animated aniversary movie) called Batman vs. Two-Face in which Harvey Dent/Two-Face will be played by actor William Shatner. In the comic books the Riddler's real name was Edward Nygma (or E. Nigma) in early comic books which was later changed to Edward Nashton as his birth name. The Penguin's real name was Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot. Catwoman's real name was Selina Kyle. The Joker's real identity is uncertain. The television show and spin-off theatrical film did not make use of any of their real identities in any capacity, including flashbacks. Yes. The Green Hornet is mentioned three times on the show. On one occasion, the Hornet (Van Williams) and Kato (Bruce Lee) appear in a cameo as Batman and Robin walk up a wall. During this encounter, Batman and Robin seem aware that the Green Hornet and Kato are crime fighters. The Hornet even says he is on "special assignment" from the Daily Sentinel, the newspaper owned by Brit Reid (the Green Hornet's true identity). On another, Bruce and Dick are watching the Green Hornet television show but are interrupted. Finally, they meet again, except this time Batman is unaware the Green Hornet is a crime fighter (he poses as a criminal). In reality, the executive producer of both shows was William Dozier. Yes. Among them: Jerry Lewis, Edward G. Robinson and Colonel Klink (Werner Klemperer in the role he played on "Hogan's Heroes." Dick Clark also asked them if they were part of a band. Although it is a popular rumor that is often taken as fact, in truth, Aunt Harriet was introduced into the Batman stories in Detecive Comics #328 in 1964 – a full two years before the show hit the air. Aunt Harriet was introduced as a replacement for Alfred Pennyworth, who had died and would later be resurrected as the supervillain The Outsider, not realizing his true identity because of amnesia (Don't worry – he eventually got better). No, you are confusing two separate, different pieces of information. <br/><br/>-Clint Eastwood was considered as a special guest villain, but would have portrayed Two-Face (see the entry above.) The character of False Face (played by Malachi Throne) is believed to have been a "replacement" for this possible Two-Face incarnation.<br/><br/>-There was an entirely separate Western-themed villain named Shame, portrayed by Cliff Robertson. As of June 2015: Julie Newmar (Catwoman), Glynis Johns (Lady Penelope Peasoup), Joan Collins (The Siren), and John Astin (Riddler- season 2). Van Williams (The Green Hornet) was billed as a "Special Guest Hero".
