THE FIRST EVER BATMAN CARTOON

- *Before anyone corrects me... I mention that Mad Hatter made his first appearance on screen here. That's not entirely true. He made his first ANIMATED appearance on the show.
The Adventures Of Batman was originally a part of The Batman Superman Hour.
It was a show made up of 2 12 minute shorts per episode that saw The Dynamic Duo, Batman and Robin take on the likes of Mr. Freeze , The Joker , Catwoman , The Penguin , and The Riddler just to name a few.

I’m not trying to insult the show, I’m just trying to accurately describe it. Mentioning reused animation and business practices of the time is not an attack on the series… I’m just explaining things for a newer audience.
Most of these complaints are very much deserved, but if he thinks this show reuses too much animation, he should see season 3 of Spider-Man 1967
Efficiency i guess
Ack! You beat me to it about ‘67 Spider-Man.But really, this was just standard production for ALL Filmation cartoons. Star Trek:TAS is notrorious for recycling animation cells for the 2 years it was on.
Season 2 wasn't that much better!
Loved this series anyway.
If he thinks this is bad, he should go watch an episode or two of Jonny Quest.
I dont think the kids cared and was just happy to watch their heroes
Exactly..From the first two minutes into this it seemed to me that this narrator is to young to have sei dime was a good decent cartoon. We loved the fact our heroes were on and surely at 7, 8, or even 9 years old didn't care or know about "production" values, quality backgrounds, repeated scenes, etc etc. It was fun and we enjoyed it. The newer generations just don't understand.....
Kids today are just spoiled with updated animation!
I think it's cool not bad
I first saw this in the late 70's as 7-8 year old kid and I loved it. Too young to care or notice the animation flaws it was great
It was Saturday morning, I was 8 years old, I didn't care about all the cheap animation. I had my bowl of Cocoa Krispies and I was all set.
Right on!
Yeah , baby!!!
I grew up in asia in the 80s, and they showed this cartoon show, I believe it helped me a lot with my English communication skills, along with other English language cartoons.
Also, I did not really care about the “bad” animation, you have to understand that for us kids at the time, it’s the static, on the comic book page superheroes now in moving pictures. It was kinda a step up from the comic strips and the static drawings.
And this cartoon was a higher level of animation quality above the old Marvel cartoons, and I even liked those low tech animations.
You had to be there to appreciate it more.
Having watched this as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s, I have a fondness for this show much like the '67 Spider-Man series, despite their flaws. There is no denying that Kevin Conroy is the definitive voice of Batman, but for me growing up, Olan Soule was that voice. Except for a brief time in the early 80s when The New Adventures of Batman aired and the final seasons of the Super-Friends cartoon in the mid-to-late 80s (both voiced by Adam West), Soule and Casey Kasam were the Dynamic Duo in this show, The Super-Friends, and even Scooby Doo.
Many of the villains' were voiced by Filmation's go-to voice actor Ted Knight. Knight also provided the series' narration.
@@herbertturner8808 and on Superman , the original radio voices are used.
I was under the impression that Adam West voiced Batman in Filmation's version.
I watched this as a kid. It was on Saturday mornings as a part of the Batman/Superman Hour.
I'm still Searching for the Orginal Opening Credits to the Batman/Superman Hour.
The target audience was 6-year-old children pumped full of sugar bomb cereals who did not notice any flaws. I should know, I was 6 years old back then.
All the kids who grew up loving batman in the 40s and 50s were very much adults in 1968. The show was meant for the whole family.
From the first two minutes into this it seemed to me that this narrator is to young to have sei dime was a good decent cartoon. We loved the fact our heroes were on and surely at 7, 8, or even 9 years old didn't care or know about "production" values, quality backgrounds, repeated scenes, etc etc. It was fun and we enjoyed it. The newer generations just don't understand.....
As a child of the 60s, none of this mattered to me. I was born in 1963, and I got to see Batman and Robin and the Bad Guys. We didn’t sit there and analyze it. We just wanted to be entertained on Saturday Morning. Sure as a Adult, You can be a prick and pick it apart. But I suspect the 5 year old you didn’t give a crap about anything that you’re talking about.😎
So true...all of it depends on how old you were when you 1st watched it & what it meant to you
I was also born in 1963, and I loved this show and still do, along with the other filmation super-heroes. This guys just too young. Actually, the voice work by Casey Kasem and others was very good.
@@savagestan2543 I'm from the younger generation and actually didn't mind these older cartoons (because I'm a retrogeek from Gen Y)...I kinda found "Robin sounds like Shaggy" to be amusing with the Scoob crossovers.
Yeah,
I didn't care either. These Batman cartoons were my introduction to Batman. Loved them (and the Adam West Batman) until I picked up a Batman comic in the early 70s done by O'Neil/Adams that radically changed my views on Batman. The comic was the one with Ra's Al Ghul standing over a dead Batman with a sword sticking out of him. Badgered my grandma to buy it for me off the rack. Of course had no idea this latter take on Batman would forever change the trajectory of this character.
Who cares It was great to watch Batman and Robin ,The Batmobile, Great Bat Villains, Batgirl, Too much Bat Fun
This fondly remembered cartoon series , was part of the 1966 Bat-craze , which was HUGE. As a long tome comic collector , I was elated to see my heroes on TV every Sat. morning. Along with Superman , (Boy) , Aquaman , and the Justice League , D.C. comics came alive.
2:39 gotta love how there is no logical way for joker and penguin not to see Batman coming, but they still got caught off guard
I think that its ironic that in a video where you accuse the creators of the show for being cheap and lazy... you have multiple audio mistakes where you are clearly using multiple takes but forgot to edit it right and they are so noticeable you clearly never watched the final video before posting it.
Id never call somebody out for that, but since you felt the need to insult other creators... i guess its fair game.
A lot of his videos just come off as lazy and low effort. He doesn't do the bare minimum research, he proudly states how he's ignorant of the source material, mangles basic expressions, that kind of thing. Like what is "far and few between?" That's not the expression. It makes no sense. It's "few and far between." This kind of thing gets pointed out. It's not like he doesn't know. He just doesn't care. I just think it's unfortunate when people don't have basic respect for their audience but this audience doesn't seem to care so he seems to be fine with it. It's probably why the audience is so small but he doesn't seem to want to grow out of his small niche. Hopefully he has a day job and he puts more effort in there
Yall need to touch grass if you’re complaining about this type of stuff
God forbid someone state their opinion on a shitty show. Lol
@@ShortPuffstating your opinion is fine. Just don't be a hypocrite. And don't be guilty of the things you're criticizing other things for.

No excuse of the year Johnny Quest came out in the 60s and it was bad ass
Jonny Quest was originally made for prime-time TV, so the production values were of a higher quality than the typical Hanna-Barbera cartoon.
@denvergrantz2480 still this is Batman we are talking about. They were just lazy let's make something quick for the kids.
still loved it though, we had nothing else 😊
@@jeremyfratefrate6450 remember there's a budget...and all the budget for Filmation heroes had been used up by Superman and Aquaman the previous year and for the year of 1968 specifically...Superman takes priority as he's DC's Flagship character...even though it seems like Batman is today, remember in 1968 despite the Adam West show's popularity...Batman was still "in Superman's shadow" (pun intended) at the time...and I'd also venture to say that Bruce was even in Hal's shadow as well...considering how the Space Race was a big deal and how in the previous package show with Aquaman that GL was the only one besides Clark and Arthur to have at least one of his villains before Bruce showed up to the cartoon scene....Hal's three shorts had two common generic alien menaces (because that was everyone's Tuesday on or off the air) and one Evil Star...and even on Super Friends Hal was pretty much "Main Character 5" when it came to the adult heroes by 1980...since outer space is always a fun one with unlimited storytelling potential. ...and Hal was pretty much the poster boy of big names for the bronze age to the point on the air that his space status probably inspired the Super Friends' Steve Trevor to be an Astronaut working with the Navy.
Don't care what anyone says,i loved Filmation ..re-used shots and all...
And Tarzan
I loved this as a kid
I remember this Batman Cartoon was Paired Up with Reruns of Aquaman and Superman.
Me too! And they rarely showed Batman. Most times it was Superman Aquaman and Superboy
Glad to see another Doc Savage fan. If they ever make the movie, I hope they do it right. I think Alan Ritchson would make a good Doc.
New Adventures version teamed up with Tarzan episodes, also by Filmation.
Adam West and Burt Ward did the Voices of the Dynamic Dou on that Series.
1977
As a kid, LOVED Tarzan
Babe wake up, vee infuso dropped another Batman video
Limited, yes. But "still" a classic show.
I remember sometimes Batman's chest logo was inverted.
I saw an inverted Robin logo in one of the clips in this video.
@@seanewing204 Yes, that happened a LOT. As well, it sometimes appeared on the wrong side of his chest. At least it wasn't a backwards R!
I grew up watching this show on TV. good memories. greetings from Chile
I have this series on DVD. Some of the plots were a little outlandish, but this was also a part of my childhood when it ran on syndication in the 70's and later on USA Network Cartoon Express in the mid-90's.
Still better animated than the classic Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Namor cartoons.
Those Marvel animated shows were what we now call "motion comics", not any sort of cel animation. They used actual panels from comic books.
@@howardbeatman2820 Kirby on TV !
I don't know about that. I liked the 1966 Marvel Superheroes show.
@@homeaccount5943 So do I. I even have an Iron Man DVD. But the animation was sad XD
@@DinobotTM2 Dude, it was 1966 !! Don't expect miracles ! Back then only Disney was big in animation. Everyone else was simply learning.
Grew up on the Filmation DC (and other) cartoons. Loves them. We often noticed the reuse of the animation (though probably nowhere near as much as modern audiences probably do/would) but I didn't know anyone of my buddies or kids on the pkayground who minded. This Scarecrow creeped me out far more than the comics (either DC's or Marvel's). I dont recall if we thought of it as Adam West Batman's universe or not, but I do know when the Super Friends premiered not having the Filmation voice actors was a big deal (though even the staunchest of us got over it within an episode or 3. YES please cover the other Batman (Hannah-Barbera?) cartoon. It was also much loved (though Batmite was the polarizing Scrappy Doo of the Batman fans).
Olan Soule and Casey Casem played Batman and Robin in all the 70s Superfriends iterations as well as in Scooby Doo. The Batman with Bat-mite was filmation.
People forget this series brought the Mad Hatter and the Scarecrow (a decade before Challenge of the Superfriends). Also, a scene shown in this video shows a Catwoman outfit based on her 1969 "Pirate" suit.
If you're talking about outside the comics yes, but they've been around since the 40s.
The Mad Hatter appeared on the Adam West series a couple of times.
@summertime_blooz Yes, but the Hatter in that series was based on the then current Mad Hatter that stole hats while the Filmation version was based on the 40's version who had an Alice in Wonderland fetish.
@@philipdefibaugh5683 Perhaps it was meant as an amalgam. Filmation's Hatter didn't LOOK anything like the 40's version, which had been based on the 19th century illustrations. It didn't look a LOT like David Wayne's version, either, but was a BIT closer to that.
@@philipdefibaugh5683 both versions had that Alice motif because that's where both the name and expression came from...except the 1960's version didn't go too overboard with it....by the 1990 though the two were combined to where Jervis Tetch now programs his hats and decides to be a creepo by reciting lines from the book and wanting a girl named Alice.
I have this series, as well as its followup series, both on DVD…and that makes me happy.
This is my favorite incarnation of Batman
I actually love this style of janky animation and think it suits old comic styles perfectly 🤣💀
Same here. lol
Vee come on man , you comparing 60’s cartoons to modern animation, is like comparing the OG Mortal Kombat to the current, comparing Flash Gordon serials to OG Star Wars let alone current… as a child of the 60’s I still have a GREAT FONDNESS for all of the Filmation DC silver age hero cartoons as they started my Comic Book Nerd Geekness 🖖🏾
On average it takes about 24 frames to make a second of animation. For a kids TV show (minus ads for toys and cereal), in the 60s was about 23-26 minutes. So that’s asking for about 36,000 original frames for a weekly kids show at 17 episodes which puts you at 612,000 original paintings on cel.
… HECK YEAH IM USING RECYCLED ANIMATION FOR THEM CEREAL CHOMPIN’ RUGRATS!!! 🤣

The newer generations just don't understand.....
I can forgive 1960s Batman limited animation. THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THIS GARBAGE IN HE-MAN TWENTY YEARS LATER!
This entire show is basically unfindable nowadays except on dvd i had a really hard time tracking it down
I picked up a Blu Ray of this series on Amazon a couple months ago, it honestly looks and sounds great and I’d highly recommend getting it if you’re interested in adding this one to your collection.
@@handoffate7262 I picked it up on dvd on amazon last year and I barely made it past the 3rd or 4th episode on the first disc!
In the episode where the Penguin uses a professor's computer to commit crimes and outwit Batman...
The professor calls him, "Mr. Parrot", which got an actual laugh out of me.
That face mask disgusting was also done in the live action Batman as well as of course Mission Impossible series. Was it corny, sure, but still made the story interesting and fun. Wondering when the disguise will fail.
"no more batman!" Except please more batman. Let's cover that 70's era series! Pls & thank you 🦇🦇
Nerd note: While yes, this show was a kind-of spiritual successor to the '66 live-action show (aimed at kids who didn't realize it was a comedy) it was also a continuation of other Filmation shows based on DC heroes, such as Superman and Aquaman. The Superman ones hold up a wee bit better if only because the atmosphere of the hero's stories hasn't changed quite as much.
Filmation's 1966 Superman seems to have been designed to LOOK like a successor to the 1950s George Reeves series, but with far wilder stories, such as a volcanic eruption, whose lava flows produce "lava MEN", and appearance by 5th-dimension imp Mr. Mxl-what's-his-name. Interesting note that that series used the same voice actor for Superman as the 1940s radio series, Bud Collyer!
@@alanr4447a I think that's a "Mixed Pickle" oh wait...that's pronounced "Mix-Yess-Spit-Lick" (Iago got annoyed with his Supervillain name being mispronounced)
What a great series
Buddy, A LOT of our cartoons were that way in the 70’s and 80’s. That’s what makes these awesome cartoons just awesome!!!
Today’s stuff is TOTALLY JUNK
I TOLD MY NEPHEW THAT WHEN HE WAS A CHILD.
@@buckeyewill2166, you nephew should think for hi9mself rather than let you tell him what's 'classic' and what not (and no, a lot of animation today is great; you just don't like it because according to people like you, they're all 'woke'.
Loved this when I was a kid, when it 1st aired
A sixties classic! The era of piss-poor animation, but, hey that's all we had!
Better Than Nothing as a 1960s Kid.
Is it just me or does he sometimes says the same sentence twice?
Great video tho as always ❤
Is it just me, or...oh good, it ISN"T just me! Yeah, I noticed a couple of lines that were repeated, and I was afraid it was my computer or CZcams just glitching somehow.
I remember this cartoon when i was a kid. This was the very first batman cartoon back in 1968 cbs had the lineup this cartoon, superman, and the justice league of america which started in 1966 filmation produced those shows for cbs.
Oh man truly fantastic! I remember seeing this show on cable when I was younger and it stuck out to me because of how whacky and weird it was. I’m very glad I watched it when I did and I might like to check it out again in the future although of course as a child of the 90s I of course have an even stronger connection to BTAS, but at the same time this series also holds a special place in my memory for being one of my favorite Dc comics things that I ever found on Cable! Fantastic job!
You might need a re edit my brother. Theres a ton of repeated dialogue takes. Killer vid tho
I caught at least two myself
I wish they made an animated the 70’s and 60’s teen titans comics
They did
czcams.com/video/19uz74OcGUM/video.html
They did but its from the sixties . It had Kid Flash Wonder Girl Speedy .
@@richardlaceyfield9 that’s good, thanks for letting me know there is one. I can imagine an 80s or 90s animated series in the style of Sailor Moon that adapted the 80s and 90’s comics and stuff that 2003 couldn’t get past
Teen Titans with Aqualad, Kid Flash, Speedy , & Wondergirl had 3 seven minute episodes on the Filmation ‘67 Aquaman show, which was their & a lot of other DC silver age first animated appearance: Aquaman, Aqualad, & Mera …Atom…Flash & Kid Flash…Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern…Hawkman …& the JLA ( Atom, Flash, GL, Hawkman & Superman) all accept the Aquaman family had similar 3 seven minute episodes, sandwiched between 2 Aquaman episodes…My & a lot of children of the 60’s first introduction to DC silver age characters 🖖🏾
@@rodneylindsey849 ok
I wanted to think it adapts the 60’s and 70’s comics
The flavour.

This show definitely had its animation errors, but it could also a informative look into how much cost cutting measures Filmation did to make it.
Also its pretty dope that Casey voiced Robin and got to play him while also voicing Shaggy in that Scooby-Doo crossover episode.
By the mid-1950's the major movie studios began to reduce or eliminate their in-house animation operations. Limited animation was a way to produce content given the budget constraints of network and syndicated television. Many of the former studio animators (like Friz Freling, Hal Seeger,, William Hanna, Joseph Barbera) formed companies to meet the new reality. The target audience had no problem with the quality of programs. Shortcomings in some areas were made up in other areas like music, sound effects and acting.
9:24 This villain is a one-shot called The Judge, an escaped criminal who's MO is to draft a jury who would condemn crime fighters and benefactors ("Who's the richest man in Gotham City?"). I wouldn't be too harsh on this series. Filmation did things on the cheap for a number of its cartoons. Superman, The Justice League, Star Trek, Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, Scooby Doo...the lists is endless. I loved them as a kid and I have fond memories of them now. Incidentally, Batman's voice was provided by Olan Soule (who had a dramatic radio voice but on TV and film played lab-coats and IRS auditors) and Robin was a young Casey Kassem.
This is the type of work that an animation student will publish on CZcams... Why not? With today´s technology, and limited animation used wisely, one person could produce his own animated series.
The 1977 Batman I'd like to see you cover .... loved this...
Vee, you're smashing these vids out mate.... But f**king great content as always!!! Hope you stick to it 👌
I got no complaints, I loved these cartoons when I was a kid. Didn't care about flaws just had fun watching. ✌️
we didn’t know then what we know now animation wise 🤷♂️ i remember loving the show 😊
Seems not to different to the adam west show. The first image coming to my mind, thinking about that is bats n robin talkng while climbing a wall in a scene that looks like they walking along a rope only in a frame that has gotten flipped 90°.
That was as scene in almost, if not every episode. Also the characters n the batmobile look the same. Idk which came first but one obviously was styled after the other's example.
I loved this show!! It was part of my childhood and the intro was always dope despite the flashy colors. As a matter of fact, this version of The Batmoblie inspired the one in the '89 movie version that has become an iconic symbol of the franchise so give it props.. It was funny and kick ass at the same time so yeah it definitely desrves some love along with The Spiderman '67 series..
I watched this on vcr taste or dvd. I vague memory of this show but do remember the glowing cat is from valentines episode.
Informative, with a great ending showing the voice-over actors!
Simon the Pieman always reminded me of comedian Jonathan Winters especially when he was in drag.
Alot of the elements were pulled straight from the 60's show, so definitely a successor like you mention. For example, the disguises, henchmen dressing in complimentary outfits, With Mayor Joker, in the 60's show there was Mayor Penguin etc;
aside from Catwoman's green body suit, i couldntt stand Penguins light blue suit. The live acction tv series put him in a black suit and tails and a purple hat, but his Filmation suit made no sense.
This was actually state of the art in the late 60s. Other cartoons existed that were superior, but they had more sophisticated studios behind them and had been crafted for the cinema or prime time TV. Generating new product specifically for Saturday morning cartoons was a new thing. These Filmation shows - including Superman and Aquaman - were actually better than alternatives at the time. Pretty good for a brand new studio was that basically three guys.
Kids back then weren't watching for animation limitations or flaws nor did they care. They were just happy to have a Batman cartoon on.
Top shelf
The 1968 cartoon series had one hilarious episode where a computer drones: "Batman's real identity is B-B-B. . ." coming close to blowing Batman's cover! In fact, he sabotaged the computer. They had some wacky but enjoyable stories back then. Hats off to Filmation for all their hard work.
🤣🤣🤣😹😹😹❤️
Yeah, I noticed the strobing colors in the intro... On the DVDs, I wish they had played to intro once at the beginning of the first episode on the disc and didn't for the rest.
I'd like that New Adventures video please! And thanks for this one!
In the words of Marty McFly, "...but your kids are gonna love it."
Anything involving Adam West is worth discussing.
Yes! More video content on the next animation.
I was born in that Era it didn't matter as long as they were superheroes technology has came a very very long way.
1) Most original cartoons of the era only ran for a single season. Many cartoons that ran for multiple seasons were simply recycled movie shorts.
2) There were 17 episodes split into 3 segments. Each episode had 1 single segment story and 1 double segment story. Each segment was about 6.5 minutes long.
3) Yes there was a limited voice cast, but much of that was due to the core characters (Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'hara. Few cartoons of the era had extensive voice casts.
4) IF you think that Filmation was cheap with production costs, look at the 1965 Marvel Superheroes Cartoon.
As a child of the 1970's, I will go on record and say that I love The New Adventures of Batman!! I was 5 years old in 1977 and that was my first introduction to most of the Batman characters, the Super Hero genre and the world of comic books. I loved the voices of Adam West and Burt Ward as the Filmation designed Batman & Robin. And while I am not a fan of BatMite, I didn't mind him either. But I would love to hear you talk about this series. Only one thing I ask. Try to find something positive to say along with the complaints. I personally think that both Filmation Batman cartoons have both positive and negative attributes. Great job covering the 1968 Batman series on this video.
Bat Mite was originally introduced in the comics during the mid to late 1950's. I believe it was around that time period that the comics started getting campy.
Thank you for this great walk down memory lane, Vee! And PLEASE give us a video covering "The New Adventures of Batman" from the '70s 🙂
Working on it currently!
I've watched this on Latin American Spanish. I can't name for the life of me who the (Latin Spanish) VAs were but Batman and Robin got retained for almost the entire Super Friends run (they were recast for _The Super Powers Team_ ), and The Joker sounds like a proper psycho, down to the laughter.
Sometimes I think super heroes need to re-embrace a similar level of silly. Super heroes are naturally silly and they should have no shame in it. I would like to know more about that other cartoon
I love the more serious stories, but it shouldn't be all we have. Brave and the Bold was just as good as B:TAS, in its own way.
I would be okay with a campy live action updated feature film reboot of the 1966 Batman series.
@@seanewing204 brave and the bold was probably the best approach to the silly silver age era. Campy, silly, but didn’t feel condescending
Well they do at least talk about Shaggy being Nightwing once on Scooby-bat projects.
Saturday morning cartoons were the BEST!! With my big-ass bowl of cereal, Superfriends, Scooby-doo and Hong Kong phooey!! 👍
Interesting look
Hanna-Barbera, Ruby-Spears, Jay Ward and Total Television Productions also has Limited animation during the 1960s,1970s and 1980s
I saw the series when it first came out in 68' as an 8 year old. It was the best along with the live action. FILMATION also did a very good series with Aquaman, The Flash and Superman too. Very faithful to the comic origins. Ted Baxter did the narration. And the Music was Fun to listen.
Scarecrow really ought to hit Batgirl up for grooming tips. All that makeup makes him look cheap.
The show wasn't actually two 12-minute segments. It, like Filmation's Superman and Aquaman before it, filled a half-hour with three 6½-minute segments. Two of the three would make up a longer story, and the third would be a second, "quick" story. Although it did follow the Adam West series in referring to "Mr. Freeze", the comics themselves had already made the same changeover. Stories involving villains beyond the "main five" would merely be one-shots of those shorter stories, with the comics' Mad Hatter and Scarecrow, and Filmation originals Dollman and The Judge. The exception was Filmation's original Simon the Pieman, who not only had a longer story devoted to him, but had TWO longer stories about him.
I remember getting up early on Saturdays and watching this Batman cartoon. Couldn't have cared less about how many times they used the same scene or any other of the "errors" talked about here. I still enjoyed every minute.
I've always been a big fan of Filmation's '68 Batman cartoon series...the Batman tv show was cancelled in early '68 & September '68 the cartoon started...it was kinda a combination of the tv show & the comic book...it was cool to have Batman back...I like all of the Filmation DC Comics cartoons on Saturday mornings
"No more Bat Man!"
Edit: I actually never heard if this show, so thanks for introducing it to me.
It doesn't get much better at 5 years old than spending Saturday morning watching Superman, Batman and Aquaman while having a bowl Froot Loops.
6:29 you left in a flub. Also, Mad Hatter was already in the 1966 series, he appeared in four episodes.
I would wake up before the sun came up, and watch it in the living room. LOVED it. I was like 4/5 years old. 😂 It was AWESOME…
Well, okay, that was something. I'm not sure what.
Well, okay, that was something. I'm not sure what.
The first time I saw this was in the early 70's and later in the late 70's. Now I own it on DVD 📀.
Back than who care.. Just was happy to see Batman on T.V . .. This was before your time .... Back than this was gold.
I'd love to binge watch this & I don't care if they reused the same clips of the joker having a laugh or the dynamic duo driving the car
I must have been a dumb kid because I loved it. I never noticed any imperfections.
I'm guessing you are talking about Batman: The Brave and The Bold. N yes I will watch that too lol
I've always loved this show (I have the series on officially released VHS, along with other Funimation series of Superman, and Aquaman)!
Funimations STAR TREK animated series was also great, and utilized a lot of framing that Batmqn adventures did.
These 2024 kids have no idea how priceless these moments were
Johnny Quest had probably the most original animation of that era.
That's the difference between Hanna-Barbera Primetime and Hanna-Barbera & Filmation Saturdays.
Johnny was almost Film Quality for the time....and it's the only other HB cartoon besides Scooby to recieve the Film Quality glow up by Mook Animation in the 1990's....too bad they never got a movie of any kind...also...I kinda feel like the second half of the Big 4 Scooby movies might have worked better as Johnny plots looking back....even though I enjoyed the jokes with Scooby in Cyberchase.
Virus Tech and Aliens? That seems more like Johnny's department. Scooby's more of a Haunted Halloween Hijinks thing.
Loved this when I was a boy. It truly was the descendant of Batman ‘66 TV.
The animation was a Filmation thing. It's what and how they did it but I have nothing but nostalgic love for many of these old shows. Great toons at a great time in my childhood.
