Rest in Peace to all who acted in The Batman tv series who are no longer with us. Your memories will live on in all the kids like me who watched such a great tv show.

It’s funny how the opening to the cave has been seen in countless countless movies, movie serials, and tv series. But when you see it, no matter which film you’re watching, you say “That’s the Batcave!”

[antonskippy]

This is cool, cool video! Thank you for heading all the way out there to bring these shots, views, and clips to those of us who remember the show(s) so fondly.

Eight years ago, I visited the Bronson Cave in LA, and the outside of the Batcave, the larger parking area, and the metal gate did not exist then. The scenery of the Bat Cave and Bronson Canyon is still the same as I was there. It was well worth visiting. Also, I trekked up to the Hollywood sign, which was awesome. Several TV shows took place there, such as Mission Impossible: the episode: Bunker (Part 1 and 2) and others. Even the legendary film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956) took place there too. Thanks for sharing the video of your visit to Bat Cave.

Hey Man, Thanks For That! I Was Seven When It Aired & Adam West Will Always Be The Only Batman To Me.

A whole documentary on the cave that shows all the movie and TV scenes it has been used in could be made, and is one I would love to see! And the surrounding hills and cliffs used in so many TV shows and movies as well, including Star Trek.

Thanks Scott! I never went to see the Bat Cave and I'm so glad I was able to see where they filmed the cave. It brought back so many great memories. I never did get to meet Adam West and he had to be the same kind person as Batman. You did an amazing job making this. God Bless

Sure was a lot greener back then. Such an iconic location.

Video popped up in my feed out of nowhere (probably recommended because I looked at a Gilligans Island video the other day); I enjoyed this video greatly, love these kind of connections to our collective past!

[robinkyrke]

Thanks, Scott! I have never been to the cave yet but it's on my bucket list!

[rickyc]

The iconic Batcave, this sure brings back a lot of memories watching this show when I was little. Thank you for making this video!!

[beastmanreview]

So much Television and film history there! I grew up watching the '66 Batman and Batman TSA.

[USMC-Veteran-]

Loved "Batman" it's still on ME-TV. Lone Ranger a great one too.

[billgibson]

Great Job on the tour and great editing.. I was there a little over a year ago.. You are right, it's pretty special to be there in person..

[markchavez]

Holy Discovery, Batman! I always wanted to go there and check out Batman’s Computers and a fricking cool ManCave. Batgirl got to go there BUT she had to knocked out .

[mattiasf]

I don´t know why this vid came up but I am so glad it did. Thanks for a great video with some interesting facts of other films using the location!

[juammanuelortizrodriguez]

THANKS SOO MUCH FOR THIS .... BAT MAN RULES !!!!

[gerrydooley]

My main interest in this was The Lone Ranger, the 1956 film with Clayton Moore. You showed a clip of a great scene and there were a few others. The very first episode of the Lone Ranger was also shot there, it's where the young Texas Ranger, Reid becomes the Lone Ranger

[SilentKnight]

Cool tour of the cave. We also live close to a somewhat 'iconic' cave - the Screaming Tunnel - where they shot a pivotal scene in David Cronenberg's 1983 film The Dead Zone.

Nice added touches Scott! Still fun to watch. I can’t believe it’s been 18 years since this was filmed. Same year we hung out at Super Mega Fest. Fun times watching the series on your IPod with Fred & Andrew. Not sure if you remember but I borrowed my flat mates television and brought it into the room. It belonged to Tessa Dahl ( Roald Dahl‘s daughter ) she was kind enough to let me take the one from her living room. We were 42 man, how time tumbles by :)
