Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Burgess Meredith was cast as the Penguin in the series, he had not smoked in 20 years. He came up with the Penguin's distinctive squawking because the cigarettes irritated his throat. The Penguin's waddling way of walking was another improvisation; Meredith found it difficult to stand and walk straight while wearing the rubber padded fat suit that was part of his costume.
- GoofsIn episode 7, Alfred refers to Robin as Mr. Ward, and not Mr. Grayson. But the series often refers to Dick Grayson / Robin as "Bruce Wayne's young ward." It is not a reference to the name Burt Ward.
- Crazy creditsThe actor/actress who played the villain in every episode of the series would always be credited as the "Special Guest Villain".
- Alternate versionsIn the late 1980s, the series' original cast members reunited to film special introductions to be added to the beginning of each episode in it.
- ConnectionsEdited into Batman: Partners in Peril (1996)
Featured review
Pure escapism and great memories
Who could ever forget those immortal words such as "Pow" and "Wham" flashing up on the TV screen as Batman and Robin landed into evil wrong-doers with clenched fists flying. Those long black evening gloves of the Caped Crusaders could really pack a punch!
All of us who were hard core "Batniks" had boxes full of the mandatory merchandising goodies. There was the die-cast Batmobile and Bat Boat, the costume complete with 'útility belt' and I seem to recall a board game buzzing around at some point. No doubt, there was also a View-Master reel and probably a flicker ring as well. Ah, those were the days. If only we'd kept all of that stuff, be worth THOUSANDS on ebay!
It's a shame that kids haven't got anything like the old Batman nowadays. It was colorful, fun and highly imaginative.
