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. Born in the 60's, the TV of my infant and pre-teen years is very dear to me and naturally shrouded with sentimentality and nostalgia, which has the power to almost completely negate any latter-day criticism when viewed today as I approach my fifties.<br/><br/>There are so many programmes from the late 60's and early 70's which have that effect on me but the benefit of being British-born was that we tended to get the best of the US shows like "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.", "Mission Impossible, "The Wild Wild West" and "Batman" of course, together with the best of the very productive UK studios, especially the landmark fantasy shows from the ITC chain "The Avengers", "The Champions", "Department S", and "Randall & Hopkirk Deceased".<br/><br/>For me, it's always so great to see any of them again, either on TV re-runs or on DVD box-sets - "Batman" is currently showing in the UK from start to finish on BBC4 (of all things, the Beeb's cultural channel) in the early morning hours and I for one am very grateful for it. I will say that I'm a big fan of the original Batman comics, at least up until the late 70's and so whilst appreciating greatly the serious Tim Burton and now Christopher Nolan makeovers, one can't forget this campy alter-ego which still had enough resonance to influence and eventually skewer the first 80's revival with its "Batman & Robin" nadir.<br/><br/>Here though the campness is fresh, innocent and above all hilarious. Everyone on the right side of the law plays their part in deadly earnest, whilst the (usually big-name) villains get to go right over the top so that somewhere in the middle is this strange cartoony non-cartoon world where punches land miles from their intended target to superimposed pop-art exclamations like "Thunnkk!" and "Kapow!", every super-villain has a pretty moll alongside their dumb henchmen and every episode ends with a cliff-hanger of a situation for our heroes to miraculously escape from.<br/><br/>It's amazing to see big-name Hollywood stars of yesteryear playing the Rogues Gallery of villains - recent episodes I've seen include George Sanders and Anne Baxter for example. Also laud-worthy are the production values. The show is shot in glorious day-glo colour in great studio locations, so much so that the occasionally creaky props seem to be almost deliberately inserted for comic effect. I also much prefer this Batmobile to the later cars in today's movies.<br/><br/>Kids today possibly won't get it and yes Michael Keaton and Christian Bale's portrayals are true to the dark source of Bob Kane's original creation. But it was the 60's, anything went and this light-hearted family fun still entertains today.<br/><br/>Bat's all folks… I am a big fan of Batman and I like this show despite the fact it's a bit silly, but tense and very funny. I like Adam West in those tight pants and very bad mask and Robin is also very funny guy, but both are quite good "buddy-buddy" couple. The episodes were great and funny, I like the speech at the end of every show: "Same time on same bat channel… " or something like that. And even today I found it funny to watch fighting scenes, where Batman and Robin are fighting with enemies and their every punch in written all over the screen like "POOO!" or "ZAK!" or "BOOM!" Very original, silly, but funny as hell. I couldn't stop laughing to it. When I was a kid I watched this show regularly and I don't fell ashamed of doing it. A classic.
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".
