- Batman's ADAM WEST was banned in Aspen for FIFTEEN YEARS! It seems like Adam West has been around forever. But when he first appeared as Batman on the small screen back in 1966, he was a huge hit. So why was West banned from Aspen, Colorado for fifteen years? The answer is pretty shocking.

This was my Batman growing up.
This made me laugh so fucking hard
As kids we would run around the back yard with a homemade cape singing the Batman theme song. Bunch of crazy kids all declaring we were Batman
doing fight scenes. Great fight scenes that sometimes got out of hand.💥⚡💥🦇✨💫🦇
Hilarious childhood and fabulous TV show.
Thanks for the memories
🥰😷🤗

Julie Newmar was AWESOME !
And the best Cat Women EVER!
She also became a cat in Bewitched.
YESSSSSSS
Interesting facts about Adam West & Burt Ward that's for sure but What I found hilarious is that at 8:32 the picture of the batmobile coming out of the batcave is a picture of my diorama that I made some years back. Second time this picture is used by UA-camrs when talking about Batman. 😂 very cool!
My brothers loved watching Batman back in the 60's.
I never knew this about my childhood hero Adam West lmao.
I was 11 & still remember the issue of LIFE magazine that was published right before the show's debut. It was the car that did it for me.
Aspen Mayor: Ok Adam, you can come back and have oragies now
…And made Bob Kane (Batman’s creator, and his estate) FILTHY RICH! Did you ever notice that Caesar Romero never shaved his mustache to play the joker? Oh, the producers asked him to, but Romero told them “No way, Jose!” In earlier days, Romero was a mustachioed motion picture Latin Lover. And one must admit, Yvonne Craig was an absolute DOLL! Even as early as 77 Sunset Strip (an address which does not exist, by the way).
My only regret in life is I never learned the Batusi...
What the hell? Batman and Robin were some damn freaks behind the scenes.😂😂
My mum made me a cape and cowl when I was 5. I wish it still fit. My one year old sister got a Robin cape. She wouldn't wear it. Adam West IS the best Batman. I wonder if a straight, crime version of Batman would work?
Interesting story: Batman was on the verge of cancellation at the same time the James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice" was in theaters. Sean Connery decided he didn't want to return as Bond, so the producers went about the job of recasting. Adam West was approached to take the role, but it would mean turning Bond into an American agent, and West felt Bond should remain British. Thus George Lazenby was cast for the next Bond movie, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".
But think about that for a moment. Batman and James Bond sharing an actor. And I think Adam West could have pulled it off.
Of course George L was an Aussie. Adam would have been an interesting choice but I think he's right. Brits only.
Batman was made as a comedy in line with the changes forced on the strip in the aftermath of Fred Wertham"s book, "The Seduction of the Innocent".
Same 🦇bat time, same 🦇bat channel
Holy herpes, Batman!
Robin was apparently quite well endowed they had problems with him showing to big a bulge. Sinatra as the Joker no. Batgirl Craig was so hot.
Well that was an eye opener. I always thought that Adam West was light in the loafers.
I never would have thought that the otherwise seemingly mild mannered Adam West last featured on Family Guy was a sex fiend.
... sounds like good party's he had 😆😁😝 ...
No wonder Adam West was a party guy
It's a bummer that you can't watch any of the old episodes! They keep them guarded tightly!
Try Tubi. Watched the other week.
@@thankthelord4536 thank you, I will definitely check that out
Ah the 60s, freelove,bright colors and TV stars grabbing extras, costars and whatever else they could ahem get into. Didn't realize he was that active. As long as he could perform as Batman I mean the bosses turned a blind eye
The dynamic duo apparently were!
i loved Adam West …. still do
When I was fout this dhow premiered. I loved it! Two decades later when I warched it again I realized it was a comedy! As you state, it was a comedy without a laugh track, but it was not plaued fot laughs. They played it straight which added to the humot. Avtuallu, ABC canceled the shiw because it had become too expesive to make All thosr trick umbrellas and colored smoke hsd to br manufsctutrdf\\edsd well ad othrt props and expensice sets.
Adam West showed the Caped Crusader how to be the Dark Knight.
I was a 70s child and watched those reruns as if my life depended on it. Today, I own the series on DVD and occasionally watch episodes. In the 80s, I was at a Con and saw the Batmobile of West and Ward. Great memories. Still fond of the show.
I watched this show in reruns when I was a kid. It's the reason I started reading comic books. Now, knowing all this, it holds an even bigger place in my heart and mind. 😂
Yes, this series was one of a kind; I also liked the neat cinematography in it, which also gave the show a kind of comic-book feel.
Cops....
Especially for me
And in super color ...everything was bright * Cheerful + Lively
That's a perfect word because...
It was campy,,,I don't know what campy meanS***
But we r not campy
Now!
I think Batman was very influential because a number shows like Lost in Space and the Wild Wild West which were on about that time start out blank and white and when Batman aired they went color and not only did they go color they went very garish and over the top like they had not been before.
In the 1960s we wanted superheroes on the screen and on television. I was a Marvel fan but still could appreciate Batman. The first Catwoman was really attractive and so was Batgirl. I believe what ended the TV show was the use of guns. No way could Batman get his bat shield up in time not to be riddled by bullets from a machine gun. Also if Shame (obviously poking fun at the western character Shane) should have been able to easily gun down Batman and Robin. The sexual antics of the stars are fascinating. They were like rock stars. Good to know.
Shane did shoot Robin in the foot.
It sounds like Adam West was overcompensating for a lack of emotional maturity
Or he was just having fun!
I loved this show, still do! Thanks for this awesome video!
Loved this show as a child.
Batdude & Throbbin', best adult film ever.
Way to go Batman and Robin. Those were the swinging sixties and that's what you were supposed to do with that fame. Bang as many as possible. You only live once and at that time it was about making memorable experiences.
Adding Batgirl ruined the show.
Yes and no. I liked batgirl but the show had run its course and season 3 just feels cheap and tired. Not her fault. Kind of like Linda Thornson in the avengers.
Remember that ....
I was a rabid fan of Batman in the comics, when the tv show came out, I was at first excited beyond description, then seriously disappointed in the actual show, thought the villains more comical, than scary, & Batman seemed more like some weird schoolteacher, & I was depressed that he, & Robin’s eyes weren’t blank fields of white, with their masks on, like in the comics…(I was about 6 years old)
Interesting
I wish they didn't try to neuter Burt Ward as Robin. he was so beautiful!
??
Then all the sudden tv executives wanted all the shows to be camp. They ruined a bunch of potentially good sc-fi shows like Lost in Space.
Nananananananananananananananananananananana...TUBGIRL!!!
So next video will be congratulating the Bill Cosby show and it’s star for his sexual escapades?
Adam West was almost 40 when Batman started and rather Dorky Looking, those women must've been some Desperate Groupie types.
And I always thought Adam West was gay!
What does any of this have to do with Batman being banned in Aspen for 15 years
about 5:30, he was at a wild party in Aspen, with booze and many girls. The cops turned up and told him to leave town. 15 years later, he got a letter saying he could return.
As a fifteen year old I found the show an asinine disappointment. Glad it's gone.
ZONK CRUNCH POW!!! LOL!!
