  • This is a video I made to showcases the highs and lows of the BatPhone.
    All the clips were captured from Nick-at-Nite/TVLand reruns of the 60's television show. I do not own the content, I don't claim to own the content, and I'm using this purely for the purpose of comedy/satire.

    Unfortunately, over time, as the Batphone evolved, Batman shifted to a mobile Batphone, which caused many headaches, as Cingular wireless merged, and T-Mobile merged, and Cellular One merged, and soon, poor Batman just could not get cellular service in certain areas, hampering his ability to answer Commissioner Gordon's calls.
    Naturally, due to police cutbacks, Commissioner Gordon had problems, too, as no one would service his landline Batphone, leading to it being disconnected in favor of a new multi-line Batphone, but it was so technologically hip, he needed a 22 year old receptionist to teach him how to use it.

    You know, the production values on this show were oddly quite good for the era. I mean, look at how much is going on in the batcave set, the batmobile is quite the production, and there's all kinds of amusingly bizarre costuming.

      Even some of the grittier cop shows of the 1960s didn’t have guys sitting and drinking coffee, they had people more in an office breakroom shooting the breeze away just like today.

    Today Batman will get wrong numbers. Like "HELLO IS THIS IS MR SUPERMAN MY NAME IS Kathy I'M CALLING YOU ABOUT THE FLY INSURANCE THAT YOU REQUEST. " or "Is this Miss Wonder Woman ? This is Dr Peterson calling about your breast exam results." or "Is this Mr Aquaman? Hi my name is Jake From Ocean Realters. I heard that you want to put that Aquacave on the market".
