Bat Mite was a product of the times. A lot of toons were bringing in cute characters to lure younger viewers. The Flinatones had The Great Gazoo and then the Shmoo, Scoob and the gang got Scrappy Doo. There may be more, but these are the ones I remember.
From what I read, long time "Batman" voice actor Olan Soule didn't object because he respected Mr.West's legacy with the character and he himself wanted to play other parts.
@@pulsarstargrave256 your right Adam West took over the Batman role in the last 2 seasons of the Superfriends/Galactic Guardian cartoon.........Olan Soule voiced Professor Stein who was one half of "FireStorm" along with Ronny Raymond.........the original Firestorm..............Firestorm is my Favorite character from DC Comic. the only DC Character I liked in DC Comic..............I'm more a Marvel Fan...........Firestorm reminds me of a young Spider-man/Peter Parker.
@@JMFabiano that was believed at the time, but if Scarecrow was on the cartoons...why is live action ABC different on the attitude? Especially when they already had the ideal guy on hand subbing for Gorshin? Seriously...you have Gomez right there...and even though he was silly on a rather spooky show...why not? I'm sure there could have been a few "warped locomotives" nearby...oh wait that wouldn't have been any fun without Ken Weatherwax as a sidekick would it?
I personally was a bigger fan of the 60’s Filmation, then this update…took me until the Batman : Brave & The Bold animated series to gain any appreciation for Bat-Mite …in all actuality what teenage me found the coolest about this series was the closing sequence of every episode , with Batman doing a rooftop run through Gotham before jumping into the Batmobile…Keep Up The Great Work 🖖🏾
Hello Vee!! Thank you for this video. I was afraid that I was alone in the world as being a fan of this series. I am outspoken when I say Let the record show that I am a fan of the New Adventures of Batman. I am one of the few if not THE biggest fan of this version of Batman. I am currently 52 years old and I still remember watching this toon for the first time when I was 5 years old. It was my first exposure or introduction to the Batman characters, And it led me to the 1966 Batman TV series reruns, the comics, the toys and merchandise and the SuperFriends, all in the year of 1977, It's why I love the voices of Adam West and Burt Ward as the Caped Crusaders, even more than their live action performances. It was because of the New Adventures of Batman that motivated me into wanting and my parents buying me memorable toys like the Duncan Batmobile, the AHI Batman Parachutist figurine. (I wanted a Robin Parachutist figurine, but never found him until my adult years). And most of all the Mego action figures of Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Joker, Penguin and Riddler (never had Catwoman). I loved watching the New Adventures of Batman alongside Tarzan Lord of the Jungle and as part of Tarzan and the Super 7. Although I didn't care much for BatMite, I did love how annoyed Batman and Robin were when BatMite did come around. But if it hadn't been for this version of Batman, I wouldn't be the fanboy that I am today. Sadly though, this cartoon series generates a lot of hate (mainly because of the injection of BatMite in this series), which is ashamed, because the animation was good at that time. But again, I want to thank you for giving a positive review of the New Adventures of Batman,. I obsessively searched for this series during the days of VHS tapes. I bought the DVD set the moment it got released back in 2007 and I have already pre ordered the BluRay set and ready to watch it when it arrives. While I consider Batman The Animated Series to be the absolute best animated version of Batman there ever was, The New Adventures of Batman is my personal favorite animated version of Batman because it's where I got my start. Thanks again for the great review!!
What's unique about this show in contrast to other previous shows prior to Batman TAS is the showcase of The Batman's athleticism, even in the end credits!
11:20 Adam West did return as Batman for Superfriends for the last 2 seasons including the episode detailing his origin written by future BTAS writer Alan Burnett
He doesn't find animals funny by themselves. The Joker has been shown multiple times to not be cruel to animals because there is no joke to it. Penguin, for instance, had Joker's hyenas shot and stuffed and kept as trophies in Arkham City and that's the main cause of their beef.
Thank you, Vee! I was a huge Batman fan as a child during the 1970s, so you know I eagerly watched this show every Saturday morning! I loved the soundtrack and the wacky stories, but one limitation of this era and time/day slot I always disliked was the fact that Batman and Robin were never allowed to hit or kick anyone, with their impressive physical prowess limited entirely to feats of gymnastics or tossing batarangs etc; and the villains could never use any method or weapon that was remotely physically injurious on a target (it was always non-lethal effects like shrinking, mind control, sleep gas, paralysis beams, etc). It is high in nostalgia factor but low on delivering a loving homage to the wackiness of the Silver Age truly loyal to what we got in the comics of that era to the degree that "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" was. Speaking of which, you know you have my vote for a video covering that awesome series :-)
Bat Mite was used more like Great Gazoo from Flintstones. Right down to changing his skin from peach to green. Also, "Brice Rogers" is similar to Buck Rogers in name. So, that is likely the name is changed. As for Riddler, the opening was made before Riddler was given to HB. So, Riddler's costume was changed. The idea of "confusion" is not why villains were not used. It was exclusive rights. The show was made to protect what rights they had or according to how it could be different from HB. Robin gets a logo change and Batman's gray is more baby blue and a throwback symbol. Alfred appeared in Challenge of the Superfriends. Likely, HB had the rights to Alfred. As for Barbara, her legal career may have been based on that of Huntress, who was a lawyer in the original Earth 2 reality.
@@KasumiKenshirou during this time she was a senator and was based in DC like Diana....and Babs acting as "the night shift" as Batgirl while Diana did day shift.
If the JLU/The Batman issue is anything to go by, I'm guessing Hanna-Barbera and Filmation could both use Batman himself, but the other characters were distributed between the two shows.
As for why it didn't continue, it's all about how Saturday morning syndication worked. Long story short, "another season" was half the money of "a new series," even if the new series is really just "more of that least series." That said, a) I'd love to revisit Brave & Bold, it was great, and b) I have the dubious honor of having put the exactly 1,000th like on this video.
(I thought you were Batman) I've been watching Batman. The bold for the first time and loveing. I finished season 1 favorite episodes so far is (Mayhem of music meister) Love the music in it I hope you talk about music Meister if you do talk about Batman brave and the bold. Also love the voice actor for Batman
I had a sampler set with two episodes of this show. I agree that it was a little weird and hilarious how mean they were towards Bat-mite. Also totally feel you about the later animated movies. A problem with modern media attempting to invoke a past one or do a retro throwback or whatever... it never feels genuine and instead feels like a sort of gag. It doesn't help that modern productions often play up the more memed parts and forget that they worked because there was a core of sincerity to the whole thing. I remember even disliking that one part of the episode "Legends of the Dark Knight" for that reason.
The kicker is that Bat-Mite could be darn near omnipotent when the plot called for it. That's the thing with trickster characters: they're mildly annoying when they're on your side, but can turn terrifying if they decide to get serious.
I still say one Adam West project that would be interesting to include is Legends of the Super Heroes. He and Burt Ward return as their famous characters, along with many other DC superheroes, in a couple special episodes that aren't the most amazing, but undeniably interesting to know about.
Thought you was Batman (good clip use). I still can't believe they brought Sweet Tooth back as the big bad of that unofficial Batman musical. Incredible. Edit: I still can't hear Tara Strong's Harley voice without hearing Twilight Sparkle. It just makes me giggle.
I don't think these episodes were ever broadcast where I grew up, though I definitely had some on video tape. 📼 Were these two Bat series the only ones Filmation produced, or were there more? I'd like to track them down...
What no one has mentioned is despite the lack of fisticuffs, there's still a great deal of action, beautifully improved artwork, clever plots and my favorite, the somewhat orchestral MUSIC!
I enjoy that montage of Batman and Robin being dicks to Bat-Mite probably more than I should; you rarely see that kind of comic relief character treated with that much contempt by the main characters. Regarding some of the strange color choices, it's possible Filmation still had on-hand the guy who did the colors for their Star Trek cartoon; apparently he was colorblind, and that's what gave that show some of its more infamous visuals, like the pink Tribbles and Klingons in purple armor.
On Star Trek, it was director Hal Sutherland who was colorblind. Irv Kaplan was in charge of colors, and he was not colorblind. He just made some odd color choices and liked combining purple and green. But I guess the colorblind director might've asked for the colors to be changed if he weren't colorblind.
The New Adventures of Batman was a very odd show I use to watch, but it was definitely a step up from The Batman/Superman Hour. It definitely helped that they got West and Ward back to do the voices. And Bite-Mite I could take or leave.
This cartoon was on Tubi about a year or two ago. It was just unwatchable, especially compared to the modern Batman animations. However, for nostalgic purposes its pretty cool. Its also nice to see Batgirl in her Yvonne Craig like form (rather than the little girl in the Batman series of the 90s)
Though I loved the NAOB when I was a kid, it makes me laugh to realize that it was the only Batman series that (due to it's target audience of young children) contained no actual fighting! From the first episode to the last, not a single punch is thrown!
The commentator stated that Alfred didn't appear in the SuperFriends, when in fact he did. Alfred was in episode 1 of Challenge of the SuperFriends, "Wanted: The SuperFriends".
The green Catwoman suit was more in line with her original appearance. So hate it or like it, it was more significant overall that the show-exclusive 'lioness' suit.
I enjoyed this on Saturday mornings when it first ran. I remember much of what you described here. Particularly 2 appearances of Clayface and the Clayface rip-off Chameleon, the robot ?0_o??. And yes, Bat Mite was infinitely irritating
I have the old adventures on DVD and there is a scene where both batman and Robin have there pants off just underwear. Omg the inspiration for the Ambiguously Gay Duo
There is a Scarecrow in both DC and Marvel, they did merge into Scarecrow during the Amalgam event. Would do a vid on Zur-en-arrh Batman? As since a recent Batman event, even the Adam West Batman (and he isn't the only Batman version) have that personality now, well that personality escaped and is in main universe now.
I liked the 1968 series more. This one had three things against it... 1) Burt Ward's extremely wooden performance. He was a LOT better on the reunion D2V Batman '66 animated movies. 2) Pacifistic 1970s SatAM rules. This hurt the Superfriends too and is why Aquaman is seen as useless (cause he could not use brute force besides his aquatic powers). And actually, Batman and Robin looked WORSE because of this...as no fighting = they become total wusses who need their utility belts. 3) BAT-MITE. FREAKING BAT-MITE. WORSE THAN ORKO, SNARF, AND WHEELIE COMBINED BAT-MITE. CAN THANK HIS LUCKY STARS THAT VIOLENCE WASN'T ALLOWED IN 1977 CAUSE SOMEONE WOULD HOPEFULLY TEAR HIS HEAD OFF BAT-MITE.
This Catwoman = Bear Woman! Wonder if the change to Robin's costume had something to do with distinguishing him from the Superfriends Robin? Alfred does appear in 2 Superfriends episodes (including one about to premiere, though he was a Bizarro in it). Could Hanna-Barbera have gotten the rights to use him first too?
I wouldn't be surprised. I know there was one instance where the purposefully reversed the colors of Batman's logo for a frame as an homage to this cartoon (or the previous incarnation).
Vee, I know it was before your time but you ever thought about doing a video on “The Incredible Hulk “,the tv series from the 70s? That was an awesome show, and I suggest you watch it if you haven’t already.
Hey Vee, what exactly do you think to you, is batman? What is your ideal batman, what do you think batman should be what is your idea of a perfect 100% definitive Batman?
“Thought you were a Batman” something like that? It was hard to understand that phrase you wanted us to put. Sorry never seen this show mostly cause I grew up with Batman the animated series. It felt too old school and dated for me to even consider check in this show out.
I don't know, as I've never seen this show, but he is a Superman villain rather than a Batman one, so it would be strange for him to appear. And Batmite is basically Batman's version of Mxyzptlk, so having both would be redundant. Mr. Mxyzptlk did appear in Superfriends, though.
Please don't put those gifs on the sides of the video in the future. It's very distracting. I could barely keep my attention on anything you were talking about.
Ohmygod I hate this show. There were a couple good elements, notably Adam West and Burt Ward, and some improved animation, but overall the new characters are awful, Batgirl getting sidelined, and Bat-Mite is obnoxious.
Bat Mite was a product of the times. A lot of toons were bringing in cute characters to lure younger viewers. The Flinatones had The Great Gazoo and then the Shmoo, Scoob and the gang got Scrappy Doo. There may be more, but these are the ones I remember.
Adam West getting to be Superfriends/Super Powers Batman did my heart even more good.
West + Casey Kasem was an underrated/underutilized combo.
From what I read, long time "Batman" voice actor Olan Soule didn't object because he respected Mr.West's legacy with the character and he himself wanted to play other parts.
It was really weird when Robin spent an entire episode ranting about dedicating songs to dead dogs, though.
@@pulsarstargrave256 your right Adam West took over the Batman role in the last 2 seasons of the Superfriends/Galactic Guardian cartoon.........Olan Soule voiced Professor Stein who was one half of "FireStorm" along with Ronny Raymond.........the original Firestorm..............Firestorm is my Favorite character from DC Comic. the only DC Character I liked in DC Comic..............I'm more a Marvel Fan...........Firestorm reminds me of a young Spider-man/Peter Parker.
Seeing this makes me wish they used The Scarecrow on the Adam West Batman show.
The Scarecrow design in the Batman '66 comics is so good but I'm sure they would've went an entirely different route if they had ever used him.
Also they really should have had John Astin play him.
Could be too dark like Two-Face. But if they played Scarecrow's fear gas for comedy...
@@JMFabiano that was believed at the time, but if Scarecrow was on the cartoons...why is live action ABC different on the attitude?

Clayface is in the animated 66 intro... blink and you'll miss him though

I liked the 1968 series more. This one had three things against it...
1) Burt Ward's extremely wooden performance. He was a LOT better on the reunion D2V Batman '66 animated movies.
2) Pacifistic 1970s SatAM rules. This hurt the Superfriends too and is why Aquaman is seen as useless (cause he could not use brute force besides his aquatic powers). And actually, Batman and Robin looked WORSE because of this...as no fighting = they become total wusses who need their utility belts.
3) BAT-MITE. FREAKING BAT-MITE. WORSE THAN ORKO, SNARF, AND WHEELIE COMBINED BAT-MITE. CAN THANK HIS LUCKY STARS THAT VIOLENCE WASN'T ALLOWED IN 1977 CAUSE SOMEONE WOULD HOPEFULLY TEAR HIS HEAD OFF BAT-MITE.

Ohmygod I hate this show. There were a couple good elements, notably Adam West and Burt Ward, and some improved animation, but overall the new characters are awful, Batgirl getting sidelined, and Bat-Mite is obnoxious.
Back when Batman didn't have to be edgy, or wear a rubber suit. And they didn't have to boost sales by having Joker beat Robin with a crowbar.
We don't need a retrospective of batman brave and the bold. We need to forget batman brave and the bold.
You are easily entertained.😂
60s batman was pretty bad, but the 70s one with bat mite was boring as hell.
