  • Rest In Peace George Barris, King of the Kustomizers (11/20/25-11/5/15)
    One of the stars of the TV show Batman was the Batmobile. Here is a compilation video of all of the gadgetry that was seen on the show.

    I love how, even though Batman & Robin are flying through the air, supposedly to their doom, the Batmobile still obeys the road rules, and even stops for the two boys crossing the street. The Dynamic Duo could have splatted on the ground, but, nope, gotta stop for pedestrians and obey the speed limit. Just great little touch!

      The show always had moments like Batman lecturing Robin about wearing your "bat" safety belt, or "always put money in the parking meter", or "always return your library books on time".
      It was an ongoing gag.

    I don't know who came up with Adam West's Batman, if it was him, or the writers, or a combination, but it was brilliant. Almost every word out of his mouth was like a 1950's Public Service Announcement. Brilliant, consistent, and unique.

    The most famous Car Customizer in the World is mostly unknown, Karl Krumme is the concept car builder/car customizer who customized the Ford Futura for George Barris, creating the Batmobile. Randy Wright is the guy who make the fiberglass moulds from the first Batmobile and 5 more copies for the TV series. The pair also made the Paul Revere and the Raiders Coach and many othre familiar cars and boats and air craft.

  • @KJVWordofGod
    @KJVWordofGod Před 12 lety +3

    Well done. I was a child when this show aired on t.v. and my favorite parts were the Batmobile scenes. Especially when the Batmobile would be operated remote control. Those were the days before pocket calculators and computers. Seeing the Batmobile moving without anyone inside really made it come to life. I've seen pics on the official website and IMO they are not taking proper care of her. I'd "restore" her to perfection i.e. better than when she was on TOS. Batmobile = Ultimate Car

      @@johnanton6095 sorry but there was no plexiglass canopy to slide forward. I sat in the Batmobile when I was 12, and then again in 1983 in North Hollywood at George Barris Kustom shop I got to sit in it again. No canopy to slide forward. The Futura did have a middle canopy that lifted towards the rear for entry and exit to the vehicle.

    Definitely the neatest superhero car ever built for a television show. The landing on the bat net at 3:44 was something else (though would have better, not to mention maybe funnier if they would've landed in the car's seats {reminiscent of a Hertz car commercial about putting you in the driver's set). Gee, sure would be helpful to have the automatic tire repair/inflater device on cars.

    If you listen carefully to the scene in Planet of the Apes (1968) when the spaceship is crashing to earth, you can hear sound effects that were taken from the Batmobile's engine starting. Also sound effects from the Jupiter 2 from Lost In Space.
