Gorshin's Riddler was also pretty layered; almost bipolar in his switch of emotions. It's a fascinating portrayal. One of my favorite tales was Adam West and Frank Gorshin getting thrown out of an orgy because they started doing their characters. The anecdote never went beyond that but I smile imagining Adam trying to separate couples as he says "Citizens, for the love of all that is sacred; control yourselves" while Frank goes around pointing and laughing at all the naked people.

This film was more ridiculous than the TV show even making fun of some of the riduculousness. For example, a man pokes his head out of a window saying, "Yes, they are climbling a wall," when it was well known they were walking horizontally on a floor made to look like the side of the building with the camera tilted 90 degrees. I'd never seen this film until now. It was great to see all the villians together when only one would appear each episode. I missed seeing King Tut!

@@bobbentz5993 I suspect if you were to go back and watch the TV show you'd see it was equally ridiculous. I remember things like Batman challenging The Joker to a surfing contest, Robin getting eaten by a giant clam, Batman doing "The Batusi" dance....The "climbing the wall" bit was a running gag with numerous celebrities doing guest cameos as the person who opens the window and makes some funny comment. (Come to think of it the "open the window and say a joke" sounds a lot like the joke wall in "Laugh In" which began airing in 1968. I wonder if they got the idea from Batman?)

Golden Age Batman was violent as hell. Silver Age is when all super hero books were goofy. Horror, romance, military and western comics were more adult, but the stigma of super heroes being for children was firmly established in the Silver Age and is still present to this day. For the time, the over the top silliness and innuendo was meant to bring in young adults of the time. So it can be argued this is the first time Hollywood attempted to tap into the adult market for super heroes, and it worked. It was a short but highly successful run and an early example of movies/merchandise symmetry, I had all that stuff as a kid. Batmobile, Bat-cycle w/sidecar, Bat-copter, Bat-boat and anything else Bat.

Yeah the camp value was high on the tv series, although some of the comic book editions were nuts if you actually research some of the story lines, but I still think the repeated opening sequence where Adam West and Burt Ward go from the library down the poles and out of the Batcave is better than anything the films have come up with to this day. It still gets me every single time. I have actually been to the "Batcave" where the tv show was filmed. It's called Bronson Canyon. It's actually quite small, they sped the camera up on the opening sequence to make it seem as though the Batmobile was going faster than it really was. More than anyone else Adam West will always be Batman to me.

Batman was created in 1939, so the character has over 80 years of history and he's been through many iterations by different artists and writers. The tone of the character has also varied over the decades. In the early comics, he was a dark, mysterious, detective. In the late 50's he started having absurd, sci-fi based adventures. The 1960's TV show and movie were, of course, the height of campiness. In the mid-80's he took on the dark, vigilante persona that is prevalent today.

@glennwelsh9784 2 жыл бұрын

The show was silly and fun, with a tongue firmly planted in cheek. Around the 50's, comic books came under criticism for their perceived negative influence on children. So in response, Batman took on a much more lighthearted tone, which is clearly evident in the 1966 Adam West TV show and this movie. You can also see the influence this Batman would eventually have on 1997's Batman and Robin starring George Clooney. But by the time the 90's arrived, Batman in pop culture had returned to a serious and much darker tone, so Batman and Robin's throwback campy tone felt deeply out of touch with the modern interpretation of the character. With that said, there is still lots of nostaglic love for the Adam West Batman, so much that it was revived in a pair of Batman '66 animated films (with West returning to provide his voice before his passing) and a comic book series. And the '66 Batmobile is still one of the most recognizable and loved versions of the car.

That series is just so much fun. If you loved the movie you should love the 1966 TV show. Only 3 seasons but back then there were a lot more episodes per seasons. Season 1 had 34 ep. Season 2 had 60 & Season 3 had 26. Side Note: In season 3 of the TV series, Eartha Kitt played Catwoman. She was the voice of Yzma in 'The Emperor's New Groove' & 'Kronk's New Groove'.

The main reason there were so many episodes, despite running only three years, was that for S1+2 the show aired twice a week, ending on a cliffhanger the first night which was then concluded the following night (that's kind of the vibe they were going for in the movie, whenever the heroes seemed to "die" off-screen then revealed to have escaped).

@glennwisniewski9536 2 жыл бұрын

Context: the Batman TV series was a HUGE hit when it first showed up in 1966 on ABC. It initially appeared on two consecutive nights each week with a cliffhanger in between. The tone of the series mirrored other shows of the day featuring genies, witches, funny monsters and alphabet spy organizations. Batman came at a time when TV was fully transitioning from black and white to color and the extra bright cartoony colorizations were quite the sensation. The Batman movie was the logical next step to meet the demand and the producers kept the same formula while going bigger and more outrageous. The batcopter, batcycle and batboat were all introduced here and a major change was the Catwoman character being a new actress with a slightly different storyline. The Batman series, like the hula hoop, was the ultimate fad, but it jumped the shark with the introduction of a Batgirl character and ultimately crashed and burned.

The only problem was it was on in the morning and I could only catch the first 20 minutes or so before I had to catch the school bus. (No DVR's back then!) A lot of the episodes were two-parters (originally the show aired twice a week on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I believe) with the first episode having a cliff-hanger ending that is resolved in the second episode. Also, the episode titles were rhyming phrases like "Hi Diddle Riddle/Smack in the Middle" or "Fine Feathered Finks/The Penguin's A Jinx". Such fun! The best part for me was the villains and the famous actors that they got to play them. It must have been a lot of fun for some of them to play these over the top roles.

The Brady Bunch movie includes a lot of inside jokes from the original TV series that make the movie adaptation really funny.

The last few years they made 2 full length animated sequels with Adam West and Burt Ward reprising their roles and the were actually good and felt like direct sequels making it a full trilogy. The final one batman vrs 2 face had William Shatner as 2 face

That is Stearns Wharf in my hometown of Santa Barbara, California on the Central West Coast of California. I was 10 years old at that time and I did not even know the 'Batman' movie was being filmed there on Stearns Wharf. A friend of mine (a couple of years younger than me) skipped school that day and he went to Stearns Wharf to see Batman. He told me there were hundreds of kids there on their bikes to see Batman. But the entrance of Stearns Wharf was closed off to the public because of the filming. Very tight security so no one can go on the wharf that day. It really is a silly movie, but very entertaining as well as the TV series. Good reaction Timothee!

I was six when Batman premiered on TV. It would air two nights a week and I wouldn't miss an episode. I had the Batman toys. The movie, I believe, was made after the third season and then the show was canceled. It was a huge deal very quickly but then died just as fast. A couple of years ago the entire series finally came out on DVD and I bought the set. The villains were played by very famous actors, most of whom your younger audience probably don't know. Great fun!

The old woman next to Alfred in the beginning is Dick's Aunt Harriet, who in the comics came to live with Bruce and Dick during a point when Alfred was believed to be dead, and was included in this 66 series. She hanged around the comics a little longer after Alfred returned, but then she just sorta stopped appearing. "The Living End" is a term for something really weird or tough to believe in a fun sort of way.

Hey dude, I just recently subscribed to your channel and I loved your video on your reaction to the Batman 1966 movie. That movie brings back a lot of memories. When I was 12 years old (I'm 44 now), I remembered watching this movie, and ever since then, I can’t get enough of it lol. I had a huge crush on Robin, and Burt Ward who played as Robin, still a huge fan to this day. Then, I started watching the Batman TV series. I still love this movie and the TV series to this day. I have dvds both the movie and the TV series. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

I saw this movie maybe five years or so ago. Never saw the show (though I want to), but I knew of its reputation. I've mainly grown up with Batman 1989 and Batman: The Animated Series. I wanted to watch this out of pure curiosity and man am I glad I did! All the characters are committed to the campiness and I think that's what makes it work. Adam West was pretty good as Bruce Wayne, but he makes a great (and hilarious) Batman, who is clever, resourceful and very noble. The running bomb segment is my favorite part of the whole movie. I do wish we got more POW PLOP and BAMs though. There wasn't enough.

The show is well worth a watch. It's brilliant. This level of campy fun for 120 episodes. King Tut, Bookworm, False Face, it has all the great but overlooked by modern Batman villains. You can buy the blu-ray boxset for about £40, and the DVD one for about £30. Or just stream it. 100% would recommend.

The 1960s “Batman” tv series and movie was made in the genre known as “Camp.” It was meant to be a parody of the original source material. It was made to be over the top and rather silly in nature.

@camerondodge2070 2 жыл бұрын

Fun fact, virtually no one who worked on the show or film actually read Batman comics, or comic books in general. It was mere children's entertainment back then, and seen as something that adults shouldn't partake in (just look at how George Reeves felt about having to play Superman). Frank Gorshin was one of the few who did read comics, and had actually read the few pre-existing Riddler stories. He was also the one that came up with the more dignified green suit and tie look for RIddler, which is now the default. And even though the others didn't read comics, they clearly gave it their all. Just look at Burgess Meredith, he's not phoning it in, he's giving the best performance he can. The man was, and is, a respected and beloved actor, yet he never thought that the role of Penguin was below him. The same can be said of all the others, Cesar Romero, Adam West, Burt Ward, and all three Catwomen (the first, Julie Newmar, the second (and the one seen here), Lee Meriwether, and the third, Eartha Kitt). All fantastic actors and actresses, all playing in a genre that was looked down upon, all giving it their all and having a good time doing it. Oh, also Burgess Meredith appeared as the Penguin in an episode of the Monkees. That's a bonus tidbit for you.

Yep. 11 year old me was hooked on the TV show. It was shown on two consecutive nights, with a ridiculous cliffhanger ending between. Your is the first reaction I've watched, and it was great. With all the mean-spirited shows on TV today, kids have very little exposure to actually funny, campy comedy. I think it kind of shows. Shortly after this, we had the Monkees! And the Addams Family too. What an education!
