poster final

Batman has appeared in three major movie franchises but before Batman made the move to the big screen, he was a hit on the small screen. A television series starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin premiered in 1966 and lasted for two seasons. Remembered now for being a high camp send up of the superhero genre, the television show featured well known character actors and movie stars on the down hill side of their careers as the villains, and cheesy costumes and sets. The dialogue was all tongue in cheek and the acting pure ham. The TV show did have one thing going for it though, a really neat Batmobile.
