As a six year old in 1966 my Dad took me to see the NY National boat show at the NY Collosseum in NYC. The BAT BOAT was there and on display. So cool as a six year old looking at that boat. Later in life I discovered it was just a factory 17 ft Glasston with all kinds of faje gadgets, lights, and fiberglass moulds added. But for one night in 1966 I believed.
Bat cave was loaded with Burrough's B-205 computers. Had to be a slew of light chasers arrays. I recall reading about they used a stepper motor or gearing system with contacts wired in different banks of the 192 #47 bulbs to creating the blinking.
Batman and Robin were far ahead of everyone else, they could use a computer without a screen or a mouse! I guess that's why they were and are the Dynamic Duo!
If a US Navy submarine had seen the Penguin's pre-atomic submarine, the US Navy captain would order his crew to stop the Penguin and his crew, and they would have helped Batman & Robin in their capture.
Now I know why Robin is wearing leggin's. If I had to slide down the Batpole, & the Batboat pole. I'd be wearing them too, so as not to get a friction burn!
1- We have a ladder and a stairway. Nope , we still need a Batpole. 2- It looked like that pier had its own batcave to the right. 3- they had that red police light in between them, in case they needed other boats to get out of their way or pull over. 4-If they didn’t have those little signs on everything, we wouldn’t know what the hell they were working on. 5-Robin’s gloved hand mashing, works great on that computer. 6- Dr. Evil totally ripped off the submarine idea from this film. 7- I wish computers still went “DING” when they gave you an answer. 8- Jim Rockford probably watched them take off from his beach trailer. 9- I like the unspoken communication between them. Batman jumps into the driver seat and fires her up. Robin undies the two lines tying it to the dock, without even being told. 10- They probably keep the Batboat in the water at all times, because Batman sucks at backing the Batmobile up, with the BatTrailer attached to the Bathitch.
Hey fellow Batman fans were you a kid growing up in the 60's and did you see the premiere of the Batman movie at your local drive in theater of course after the Bugs Bunny cartoon and weren't those plastic Batman rings cool we got when our father pulled up to thr ticket stand what a great time to be a kid!
Takes a lot of trust on Batman's part to leave Bat Boat tied to the dock like that with no security around to make sure no on does anything to it or the dock....
I was just thinking that. I wonder if perhaps there was a device in the bat belt that needed to be close otherwise the boat would not work. Still would not prevent someone from stealing it though.
The "Computer" 😂 and how Robin use it with not coordinated typing. Again this the TOS Star Trek computers in the 60ties looks very professional even it was made by woods and christmas lights. I love this cult trash series of 60ties Batman, so funny. Thanks alot for uploading. Best regards from Austria 🇦🇹
The same pier location that the "BATMAN" movie (1966) was filmed at, for the Bat Boat scene, was later used on CBS's "THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WONDER WOMAN" in the 1977 episode, "The Bermuda Triangle Crisis", that was directed by Seymour Robbie.
another fun fact, Burt Ward nearly got killed driving with the stuntman in the batmobile, they took a hard turn and the door swung open, he grabbed the gear stick to hand on and screwed his hand up pretty bad, he often went to the hospital in that show as he did a lot of his stunts.
Why wasn't it a bat-a-maran but then again, the speed boat powered by a bat -turbine (hear the sound in the background) is much cooler! Wish they would have done a pre launch check like the bat -mobile....and put on bat -preservers!
I have to admit, I like both the Batmobile and the Batboat. Both mean business. That’s why I could never stand the campiness of this series and movie. I think the goofiness undermined this show. That’s why we got more serious movies and series in the 80s and 90s.
To be fair, the series was very faithful to the "New Look" Silver Age Batman titles of the time c. 1964-68. William Dozier and Howie Horwitz adapted some comic book stories for the series.
@@dalethelander3781 Some of the storylines made good sense and showed promise. The first two or three episodes weren’t too bad. I’m sorry they didn’t try to play it straight, though.
@@waltertomaszewski1083 The second season took a few wacky turns, the first season was pretty solid. Personally, I think "Hi Didfle Riddle/Smack In The Middle" is an excellent opening, considering that it had money (the largest budget for a 1-hour pilot up to that time) and plenty of time to tweak it in post for the test audiences and for airing. "The Joker Is Wild/Batman is Riled" Whereas, you can see the cost-cutting in the second season and the third...WHEW!
Nod to the cinematographer here, that tracking shot of them leaving the pier and heading out to sea was awesome.
I was thinking the same thing!
Batboat? Where does he get those wonderful toys 🃏.
A submarine with flippers. LOL
George Barris, the master craftsman. Super talented.

I actually got to sit in the BatBoat at a Boatshow way back in the day....
Imagine driving the Batmobile then the Batboat. That is by far why Batman is the best.
❤ the batman toys
That's right, but let's not forget the Bat copter and the Bat Cycle with side car ,eject mini cart. The only, the original ,Batman and Robin!

Glastrom V-174 the only way you can make this 1960s boat any cooler. Was to make it a bat boat it was that cool.
Jeff Dunham needs one of these.

Burt Ward wore flesh coloured tights on the set.
Well, if he didn't shave his legs......
@@robertmorris8997 🤣😂
Batman & Robin are lucky that their enemies don't know where their Batboat is located.
Given that as the batmobile pulls up you can see the cave entrance it looks like the peir is right by the entrance to batcave.
1- We have a ladder and a stairway.
Nope , we still need a Batpole.
2- It looked like that pier had its own batcave to the right.
3- they had that red police light in between them, in case they needed other boats to get out of their way or pull over.
4-If they didn’t have those little signs on everything, we wouldn’t know what the hell they were working on.
5-Robin’s gloved hand mashing, works great on that computer.
6- Dr. Evil totally ripped off the submarine idea from this film.
7- I wish computers still went “DING” when they gave you an answer.

I like the adventures of little batman.

Yes, I saw it that summer at the Gateway Theater in Ft. Lauderdale, then they showed The Amazing Mr. Limpet.
I first saw this on TV in the 70’s. It was shown only once a year every 4th of July as the late night movie.

It had it's own built in bat security, I remember in one episode, it was shown for the batmobile.
That's definitely the stunt crew in the distance shots. Those were repeated in TV episodes featuring the Batboat in the following season.
The Batboat should have been designed like Miss Budweiser. Then they could really haul ass.

Seeing this clip of "BATMAN" does bring back plenty of fond memories of when I was much younger when I saw this program for the first time.

All the props were used on Voyage to the Bottom of the sea.
The same pier location that the "BATMAN" movie (1966) was filmed at, for the Bat Boat scene, was later used on CBS's "THE NEW ADVENTURES OF WONDER WOMAN" in the 1977 episode, "The Bermuda Triangle Crisis", that was directed by Seymour Robbie.
Where is the location of the pier ?
Nothing cooler than the Bat Boat.
one of fav scene as a kid. transitioning from bat mobile to the bat boat.
I would steal the batmobile while it sat at the dock....or the bat boat while it sat at the dock for infrequent use
Had to laugh Burt had to get both lines when Adam was closer to the front line lol.
60 mph in the batboat and not a cape out of place!!
Fun fact: the batboat tipped to the side and almost drowned Burt Ward.
another fun fact, Burt Ward nearly got killed driving with the stuntman in the batmobile, they took a hard turn and the door swung open, he grabbed the gear stick to hand on and screwed his hand up pretty bad, he often went to the hospital in that show as he did a lot of his stunts.
The Bat Boat is so cool! ❤
I love the music that plays during this scene!
Why wasn't it a bat-a-maran but then again, the speed boat powered by a bat -turbine (hear the sound in the background) is much cooler! Wish they would have done a pre launch check like the bat -mobile....and put on bat -preservers!
That boat really flew!
Since George Barris built the Batmobile, did he also build the Bat Copter, the Bat Boat, the Bat Cycle and Batgirls Bat Cycle?
Gotta LOVE Glastron boats!!!
You just can t leave a batmobile on a pier like that anymore
There's a batmobile security system activated, what's the worry?
@@leftcoaster67 That wouldn't bother the authorities - they would just tow it away
@@charlesyates4230 But Batman is duly deputized by the Commissioner.
Batman magnifies his manhood
Had Batman been renewed for a 4th season, would the dynamic duo let Batgirl ride with them in the Batboat or not?
Only if she had a Bat-kini
@@YowzaBowzaWowza beat me to it
Cool!!!
Ole at the wheel 😂
Epic show 😎
I thought that was penguin’s 🐧 submarine instead of commodore schminlaps.
Ah, batman I want to drive.😒😒
Robin smart
😂😂😂
Wow.
Batman's other vehicles a part from the Batmobile includes the Batboat, the Batcycle and the Batcopter.
Please have a nice weekend. ©®

Batcycle was Batgirl's with the lacy frills and all.

@@dalethelander3781 Yes, I had some of the first "New Look" issues and some of the stories that were adapted into TV episodes.
That was the whole Idea at the time we needed an escape to humor it was kinda what I would say a diversion from reality if I must say
