Well dangit, I made a wee mistake - Yes, Adam West is Batman in the two Super Friends shows I mentioned, but it's actually Casey Kasem as Robin in both of them, not Burt Ward. Oopsie! And for those wondering why I didn't include "Return to the Batcave, " it's because I don't have it, and it's actually Adam and Burt as themselves, not as Batman and Robin. This is specifically for shows/movies in which they appeared in character as the Dynamic Duo in a "proper" story. While Return to the Batcave is certainly a fun retrospective tongue in cheek doc about the series, it doesn't really fit in with what I was doing with this video. To go into every documentary or "non-canonical" appearance of both of them would have gone far beyond the intended scope of this video. Hope this clarifies.

I can actually visualize Shatner in his Star Trek: TOS days as Harvey Dent.

Another extra Adam did that wasn’t included is he used his own copies of the series and did commentary for every episode because he didn’t know if the series would be released before his death

They were unable to clear all the home video rights for the Batman ‘66 series until 2014! If they could have released this series to DVD in 2004 - the “salad days” of physical media collecting - all the rights holders would have easily quadrupled their money! A hearty “thumbs down” to the Dozier estate, 20th Century Fox, George Barris and his Batmobile, and the estates of all the celebrities included in the “climb the wall” cameos, who collectively conspired to keep this series out of the hands of the fans for literally decades!! Oh, thanks for the great review! I purchased the regular Blu-ray set as well. I also eagerly scooped up “The Return of the Caped Crusaders” - which was a blast - as well as the “Two Face” movie. There is no telling how many more of these “Batman ‘66” movies we could have gotten if the home video rights could have been cleared sooner.

I just did my adam west as batman collection too and it looks like i have exact same ones you have, plus galactic guardians and return to the batcave, i wasn't sure what i was missing, i tried to get all adam west as batman i could find. but wikipedia does say adam west did voice batman maybe in one or two of the batman series or other shows i'm not sure, but i do have all the ones you have. i'm age 43 and adam west was my first batman too of course the show had aired about 20 year before i was watching the reruns around age 5 but at that time adam west was still the only live action batman (not counting the 2 serials that i didn't see until many years later) so from age 5-10 it was only adam west as batman for me and then in 1989 my dad took me to see tim burtons batman and i was blown away, still one of my favorite movies and technically my favorite batman but i still love adam wests batman as well, its a different type of batman really and they both bring something different to the table as batman, also christian bales batman that came later became top 3 because its the most realistic batman if batman was a real person. but some of these adam west batman episodes are written great and even with the camp are better stories then alot of the batman stuff that came later.

I’m a sophomore, and I’m in the arise program since I have autism, and my first hour teacher is a big fan of Batman.

I was born in 1976, I too, got to see the campyness that is Batman. The 60's Batman.

29:10 Rest Sean, you are tired 😴. Haha 😂

Also in 2002, Adam West and Burt Ward provided the voices for Batman & Robin in The Simpsons episode Large Marge.

That is Eli wallach As Mr. Freeze.

That was Police Chief O'Hara and Commissioner Gordon at the beach, haha

At least 20th Century Fox still has the home video rights to the 1966 Batman film, just like how Paramount still has the home video rights to the two theatrical Peanuts films while Warner Home Video acquired the rights to the specials from Paramount in 2008.

victor buono is the person that played as king tut & eli wallach is the 2nd person that played as mr. freeze

In the UK we had Black and White TV's well into the 70s so saw this show in b+w first and when I saw in colour it like watching a new show all over again 😁

The only ones That I own So Far is The classic 1966 TV Series and The classic 1966 Movie, I Still don't have he's other Batman appearance Yet Sadly But hopefully Someday I would Get All Them when I get a Chance But Some of he's other appearance is probably going to be out of Print though But I'm am Still Happy of what I got anyways RIP Adam West 🙏

So, there are words like *WHAM!* and maybe *BANG!* somewhere in the series. I betcha there's no "SHAN-A LANG" in ANY episodes... No, "Sha-La-La-La" thing either! BUT, we do have the *BATUSI!*

Great Adam West era collection. I was first exposed to this series when they used to rerun this series on either "Fox" or "The Family Channel" when I was a kid in the early 90's (I was born in 1988). It wasn't until I was in Middle School I saw the show again on the "SciFi Channel" that I saw the show again. Its such an awesome campy series. Also really loved the animated movies, I thought they were great continuations of the series, especially since one of them tackled a concept that was scrapped due to the villain being "Gruesome", that being "Two-Face". Hope you get to watching that movie soon, and also hope you get "The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians" DVD sometime, I found out that that show was the first to show the death of Bruce Wayne's Parents in an episode called "The Fear".

Adam West was the best Batman!

Excellent video. For the record: Victor Buono (as in Baby Jane) as Tut and, improbably enough, Eli Wallach as Mr Freeze.

He's Batman of course he has the correct gadget to get out of the sticky situations he & Robin would end up in.

i never had any issue with the large box set.

i hope Batman beyond has a blu ray release

You should grab the holy batmania documentaries. Has 4 documentaries featuring batman, Adam west, Cesar Romero and julie newmar. Great documentaries! Have those in my collection!

Met Adam West at a car show in the mid-80s. There were two Barris Batmobiles on display wearing their bat-fuzz to hide the stress cracks. Poor Mr. West was there, signing autographs, dressed in his TV bat-suit.

I hope we get a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release of the 1966 Batman film.

Due South was the grown up show I'd watch as a kid, LOL

From what I understand, Eastwood didn't get to be Two-Face was because the show got cancelled. As for Return to the Batcave, the DVD is still readily available on eBay.

Bought "Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt" on Blu-ray here in Sweden a couple of years ago, and apparently it´s only released on Blu in Scandinavia.

one of the best reviews ever sean awesome!!!

I ended up getting the Italian blu-ray TV set from the Italian Amazon. It was on sale for under £20 delivered, and at the time the UK release was over 2x that price. Apart from the j-card stuck on the back of the box, the Italian set is entirely in English, including the booklet. The discs even have the UK ratings on them, so Warner Bros probably just produced one set for Europe and slapped the respective language j-cards on the back. Being a WB release, the discs are region free so put a price tracker on the Italian Amazon listing and it could be had cheap.

I recently picked up "The Adventures of Batman", Filmation's first animated Batman venture. I remember this show from the Super Powers vhs tapes that also had Filmation's Superman and Aquamen from your previous video as well as Superboy wich sadly is not released on DVD. Fingers crossed!

commissioner gordon & chief o'hara is the characters on the back of the season 3 case.

the Colors man, the Colors

Loved the video game! Are you on Instagram or any other social media platforms? I’ve been a fan of 5-6 years and would love to follow any other cool content you have.

The tv series I’d call a parody. It played the silliness as something straight.

Sean what are your thoughts on Gotham on fox if you ever saw that series

12:43 Yeah. How come we don't have Return to the Batcave on home video?

Sean you ever seen the old wo der woman series

he was also Batman in in the Scooby Doo specials

Same as you back in the 60's UK :) Did America ever get the Marine Boy animations at that time?

Have you ever read the Batman '66 comic series? It's a bit of a recent series, not something actually from the 60's.

Does this set include the Adam West Batman movie or was that never physically released

19:47 Plot twist! 😨

You didn’t include the back to the batcave that was about making of the 60’s show mixed with a story 2 of the cat woman actresses and the riddle actor steeling the bar mobile and Adam west and Burt ward trying to get it vack

how many episodes is on each blu ray disc.

I have the same blu ray collection you have and the movie on blu ray as well I also had the entire show show on dvd the same as the blu ray collection but more discs I gave it to my son I used to have the original individual dvd releases all 4 dvd sets season 1 season 2 vol. 1 and vol. 2 and season 3 but I sold them because I had fallen on hard times I have the new cartoons movies as well on blu ray that Adam west played in before he sadly passed away I used to have the movie on dvd as well but I gave it to my son I only have the blu rays now I have the 1977 cartoon on dvd to I plan on buying the repackaging of the 1966 tv show blu ray collection because it’s in regular blu ray boxes and I feel that they will last longer in a normal blu case because my blu rays get stuck in the original package like I’m afraid the discs are gonna break actually disc 3 of season two of my blu ray cracked from the center one day when I was trying to remove it from the box so my blu ray collection is ruined that’s another reason I’m going to get the repackaged blu ray collection and of course I’m gonna give my original blu ray collection to my son he loves Batman as much as I do I never experienced the original airing of the show in the 60’s since I wasn’t born until 1989 I used to hate the 60’s Batman now I can’t get enough of it it’s my favorite show ever I watch it over and over and over again I used to hate it because of the POW sham and other words popping up on the screen and I grew up on the dark Batman from the 1990’s but now Adam west is my favorite Batman ever and will always be my favorite Batman I grew up on mighty morphin power rangers and the cartoon version of the 1990’s Batman but yeah thanks for the video and sorry about my bad grammar I have Covid right now and one of my side affects is confusion so I hope it makes since what I’m trying to say sorry if it doesn’t but thanks for the video

How does the movie fits in the continuity of the TV show? If I remember correctly, it ended with an obvious cliffhanger.

As a kid, I didn't take the Adam West Batman seriously. I knew it was goofy and silly. But not only did I not mind that, I actually preferred my Batman that way. It was only as an adolescent that I begun to be embarrassed by such an interpretation of the character. But now I prefer it again, and Christian Bale, with his overly gravelly voice and over-the-top grimness, seems like the goofy and silly take on the character.

I have a question about your copy of the Batman: The Movie Blu-ray. What did the sticker on upper part of the case said? "Batman: The Movie", or "Batman: The Movie Widescreen"?

Why were the DVD cases re-released from the digipack to the slim cases?

Is it full frame , widescreen???

I’m not familiar with the get smart.

So you are saying the Batman series has Batman in it in the Batman series?

Sean return tothe batcave I think is on KZfaq in full

Hey Sean so you have the batman lgeacy DVD box set
