Adam West Is Batman

[TheWickerFan]

These kids today with their Michael Keatons and their Christian Bales; Adam West will always be Batman to me.

I loved this show!

Cesar Romero - The Joker
Frank Gorshin - The Riddler
Burgess Meredith - The Penguin
Julie Newmar - Catwoman
and many others including Vincent Price as Egghead

Any other fans?http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/Vincent%20Price%20Egghead.jpg

Not to mention Eartha Kitt as the second Catwoman. Victor Buono as King Tut.

Gorshin's Riddler was the definitive portrayal, I think.

I like the show better now than I did back then.

There was no shortage of great villains.http://fandangogroovers.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/eartha-kitt.jpghttp://batman.neoseeker.com/w/i/batman/thumb/8/8c/Kingtut.jpg/200px-Kingtut.jpg

They always used to have those great cameo appearances when Batman and Robin were scaling a tall building (Edward G. Robinson, Lurch, Bruce Lee) and the Bat-tusihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC8DmmeWcZU

Great show now. I kinda liked it as a kid, but as NeverEnding said, it's much better now. Very dry humor that is much more enjoyable to me now.

I think my favorite episode was when they fed Batman and Robin, or maybe just Robin, to a giant clam.
Oh, also the episode where they turned Batmans cowl pink, lol.

It wont. Been in legal limbo forever - one company owns the rights to the show, but another owns the Batman character. Bootlegs aren't too hard to come by, but I doubt we'll ever see a legit release.

Still, at least we've got the '66 movie on DVD, which is almost awesome enough to make up for not having the whole series.

I grew up watching re-run episodes of the series damn near every night. Absolutely loved it back then, and still do now. Would love to have it on DVD, but alas...we can only dream.

i caught this show on reruns during the 90s and enjoyed the campiness, penguin was my favorite villain. the first batman i enjoyed was from the tim turbon movies, but to me the main batman i loved growing up was the one from batman: the animated series, tv show from early-mid 90s.
