This was one of the best campiest shows of the 1960’s. It was a phenomenon at the time. The list of actors and actresses that were guest criminals is astounding. Everyone wanted to be part of Batman. The show was only on 3 years with 120 episodes yet everyone knows this show and the theme song over 60 years later. How many shows in tv history can say that. Not many!! Not many at all.
I think that it being filmed in colour had a lot to do with it's first success. Take for example the difference between the pilot of Get Smart, filmed in black and white, and the rest of the series filmed in colour. The pilot looks so aged and that was the same for other shows filmed in black and white. They may have had initial success but they weren't going to succeed as well in syndication once shows filmed in colour reached the syndication stage.

One thing I always love about the 1960s Batman is how in the show Batman is a global celebrity who's loved by everyone. It doesn't matter where he turns up or who he meets they're always happy to see him.
Was this actually supposed to be serious though?? At the time where people genuinely watching it straight faced??.. or was it as ridiculous then as it is now??

Everything about the writing to the way Adam West portrays Batman is absolutely perfect. Also, if they had needed someone to play Black Widow in the 1960, Jill St. John would have been perfect.

Nah, Keaton's version is the best Batman and the 2nd best version is Christian Bale's Batman (his Batman voice is, by far, the worst though), then Ben Affleck, and then Adam West.
“I shouldn't wish to attract attention” 😂. This is kind of amazing, in its own quirky way. Wittier than most people realize. Adam West is awesome, the way he suddenly kicked into dance mode here was perfect.
It's honestly sad that so many people think the comedy in this show is unintentional. Like, people today genuinely think that stuff like the Bat-"Object" gags and Robin's "Holy..." catchphrase were a product of their time and not just a funny thing the writers thought of.
Younger folk, I'm here to tell you: This video captures the 1960s. That's pretty much the way they were. Every day. Throw in the occasional political assassination, and you have the complete 60s act.
"Your orange juice sir, Batman special." "You interest me, strangely." "You shake a pretty mean cape, Batman." "EEEEEHEEHUURGHAAAGH." This writing was magnifiquent.
This is proof that in the 1960s, - everybody, from the writers, to the director, actors, crew, extras - were high as fuck.
I blame the water supply and those filthy, filthy hippies.
I hope you're not a lawyer.

No actor who depicted Batman has danced to the Batusi hitherto they can't be considered true Batman enactors.

@@bennyamogo4999 Brave and the Bold and Batman '66 are pretty much straight adaptations of Silver Age Batman.
@@TiberianFiend u forgetting about justice League batman
Nah, Keaton's version is the best Batman and the 2nd best version is Christian Bale's Batman (his Batman voice is, by far, the worst though), then Ben Affleck, and then Adam West.
“I shouldn't wish to attract attention” 😂. This is kind of amazing, in its own quirky way. Wittier than most people realize. Adam West is awesome, the way he suddenly kicked into dance mode here was perfect.
Fun fact: The maître d’ is a cameo by William Dozier, executive producer and the narrator for all 120 episodes.
It's honestly sad that so many people think the comedy in this show is unintentional. Like, people today genuinely think that stuff like the Bat-"Object" gags and Robin's "Holy..." catchphrase were a product of their time and not just a funny thing the writers thought of.
Watching this clip is guaranteed to put a smile on your face
i love this version of batman its my favorite
The man who defeated Superman.

Younger folk, I'm here to tell you: This video captures the 1960s. That's pretty much the way they were. Every day. Throw in the occasional political assassination, and you have the complete 60s act.
in 1969...TOO SOON!!!
1968 HERE... JUST SOON ENOUGH!
CannonfireVideo you get 60 likes too XD
This is amazing
this scene makes me embarrassing myself, but so many ppl says there is not going to be a DC film without this until nowadays. Great sacrifice.
Tell me... do you dance?
...
You will
HAHAHAHA! You just made my day!
"Your orange juice sir, Batman special."
"You interest me, strangely."
"You shake a pretty mean cape, Batman."
"EEEEEHEEHUURGHAAAGH."
This writing was magnifiquent.
"You interest me, strangely." is just such a great ironic line. XD It's a great one!
Don't forget about "Thought you'd unhinge me, did you? I fooled you! I kept my reason by reciting the multiplication tables backwards!"
Strange lady?????
@@richardandre866 that's what I heard too.
Robin, watching in the car: "You cheating hussy!"
THIS. IS. MY. FAVORITE. THING. Nothing is better than this.
Man the 60s looked like fun
