Out of context these snippets may seem pretty stupid, but if you view them in their proper context of the full episodes from which they came, it will be clear that yeah they're pretty stupid.
There’s this line I absolutely love from the show, I can’t remember the episode but basically, the batmobile was stolen and Batman had to run back to the bat cave to be greeted by Alfred and he’s like “Apologies Alfred. The batmobile was stolen, so I took the subway and BAT-WALKED all the way over here”
I saw an episode where the Penguin had set a trap for them. When he opened fire using a hidden machine gun, Batman shouted "Quick, Robin! Behind the Bulletproof Bat-Shield!", which seemingly appeared out of nowhere 😂
Every movie has its absurdness. Batman 89 - Bruce Wayne swinging upside down like a bat. Batman Forever- Batman smiling and giving a thumbs up. Batman and Robin: everything. That's the movie you're looking for but it's not as subtle as this show.
My favorite thing about this show is how characters will say the most ridiculous thing you ever heard and act like it was both obvious and completely normal
I remember one line from the movie and it was a riddle. I forgot exactly what riddle it was but Robin answered with the most nonsensical answer ever with so much confidence that I sarcastically said “oh, of course that was the answer! Why didn’t I think of that?”
Adam West plays the best father Batman has ever been. Teaching his son morals and safety, looking out for his well being whilst letting him be involved. What an MVP.
4:35 I laughed out loud to this. His “i beg your pardon” was so nonchalantly delivered as if it was a regulars occurrence for this exact exchange to happen in this exact scenario
I always thought the idea of a guy dressed up as a bat, running around beating up baddies was already preposterous, that's why I love this show for realizing that and embracing it.
Funny you should say that, I heard that they did Batman as more of a comedy because the TV execs at the time thought people wouldn't take a serious Batman show seriously.
What a person with enough money and resources being able to fix a horribly corrupt city by just dressing up as a bat and beating up criminals as well as spending their day life sending funds to proper charities totally ridiculous I mean it's not like we don't live in a world where the entire world is shut down by a disease which we should have handled well considering our species to survive devil major diseases
I love when old shows slip in morality and life lessons. It's corny a lot of the time but it feels so wholesome in a way that is rare to find in the media these days.
There's definitely something to be said about it. Like it or not, TV and media as a whole are guiding forces to many people. Up until the 80s, shows tried to have a central lesson to make people do better. Today, that's a rarity. The difference in society at large is night and day compared to a few decades ago.
I personally prefer a blend where they teach good morals while not being so heavy handed about it. More like guidance on how to make your own decisions instead of just doing as you're told.
i think the genius of batman is the people working on the show being foreward thinking enough to realize that decades later, people won't be able to tell between the intentional comedy and the unintentional comedy inherent in 1960s camp aesthetics and production
Julie Newmar was great in the part, and, before Frank Miller's version, she was the most vicious version of Catwoman yet seen. The actors who played the main villains were all fine performers and would have been outstanding in straight adaptations of the comics. David Wayne as the Mad Hatter was an out-and-out psychopath that rivaled the modern Joker.
4:45 For as goofy as the show can be, I think this is the only instance in any continuity where Batman works in an official capacity with Gotham City Police Department. You know, actually having been deputized.
In the golden age comics Batman was also deputized. He had an official (bat-shaped) badge lined with diamonds, presumably to make it impossible to copy.
Golden Age Batman, the modern Audio Adventures, and a short-lived comic line from ten years ago all had Batman deputized and working with the police force of Gotham.
@@wwb16 My phrasing was a reference to the movie 'Johnny Dangerously', which you likely have never seen. It was bad enough that I have made sure it never happens again, hence the emphasis on 'once'.
I don't dislike the more serious and dark Batman, i'm in fact a huge fan. But I don't get why so many people dislikes the campy, funny and weird Batman, like this or the Schumacher movies. This is hilarious! Just because this is a different way of interpreting Batman, than we know today with Nolan, Snyder or Reeves, It dosen't mean it's wrong. Schumacher knew this and embraced the 66' Batman's campiness and the comedy gold. I wish we would get more wacky Batman content.
This Batman is visually my favorite Batman, like it feels like something ripped straight from a comic book, and let’s face it Batman’s heroes and villains outfits are just stunning.
6:34 Context on this one: Batman and Robin have just exchanged greetings with the Green Hornet and his sidekick Kato, two similar vigilante heroes guest starring from their own show which was airing at the time Additional fun fact: Kato is played by none other than Bruce Lee

IRL Burt Ward nearly fell out of the Batmobile while filming the 'exiting the Batcave' sequence that they always show (well, the first take, at least) because he wasn't buckled in and the door flew open.
2:30 one of my favorite scenes ever taken out of context, the two are being cooked alive in ceramic popcorn makers by what looks like ancient Roman's and their passing the time by singing Bat themed nursery rhymes. It's like a fever dream

I’m somewhat ashamed but also proud that this is how I got my love of Batman which just led to comics and superhero’s in general. 6 yr old me loved this and 17 yr old me is enjoying this very much 😂😂😂😂
I was 8 b ack in 66 when this hit, I was always super good, so long as we got back in time for the braodcasts. Aged 61, I bought the boxed set of the TV series. I'm 64 this year and still watching them. Batman forever - but only with Adam West!!!!
Same with me! But I have no shame of telling people how much I love this TV show! I have a Lego set of the 1960’s Batmobile as well as a Hotwheel car! I will praise this TV show to anyone who will listen!

You must be confused. Bruce Wayne is the richest man in Gotham City. That is Batman, a completely different person.
