Well dangit, I made a wee mistake - Yes, Adam West is Batman in the two Super Friends shows I mentioned, but it's actually Casey Kasem as Robin in both of them, not Burt Ward. Oopsie! And for those wondering why I didn't include "Return to the Batcave, " it's because I don't have it, and it's actually Adam and Burt as themselves, not as Batman and Robin. This is specifically for shows/movies in which they appeared in character as the Dynamic Duo in a "proper" story. While Return to the Batcave is certainly a fun retrospective tongue in cheek doc about the series, it doesn't really fit in with what I was doing with this video. To go into every documentary or "non-canonical" appearance of both of them would have gone far beyond the intended scope of this video. Hope this clarifies.

I can actually visualize Shatner in his Star Trek: TOS days as Harvey Dent.

I’m a sophomore, and I’m in the arise program since I have autism, and my first hour teacher is a big fan of Batman.

[mikecrawford]

Another extra Adam did that wasn’t included is he used his own copies of the series and did commentary for every episode because he didn’t know if the series would be released before his death

I just did my adam west as batman collection too and it looks like i have exact same ones you have, plus galactic guardians and return to the batcave, i wasn't sure what i was missing, i tried to get all adam west as batman i could find. but wikipedia does say adam west did voice batman maybe in one or two of the batman series or other shows i'm not sure, but i do have all the ones you have. i'm age 43 and adam west was my first batman too of course the show had aired about 20 year before i was watching the reruns around age 5 but at that time adam west was still the only live action batman (not counting the 2 serials that i didn't see until many years later) so from age 5-10 it was only adam west as batman for me and then in 1989 my dad took me to see tim burtons batman and i was blown away, still one of my favorite movies and technically my favorite batman but i still love adam wests batman as well, its a different type of batman really and they both bring something different to the table as batman, also christian bales batman that came later became top 3 because its the most realistic batman if batman was a real person. but some of these adam west batman episodes are written great and even with the camp are better stories then alot of the batman stuff that came later.

They were unable to clear all the home video rights for the Batman ‘66 series until 2014! If they could have released this series to DVD in 2004 — the “salad days” of physical media collecting — all the rights holders would have easily quadrupled their money! A hearty “thumbs down” to the Dozier estate, 20th Century Fox, George Barris and his Batmobile, and the estates of all the celebrities included in the “climb the wall” cameos, who collectively conspired to keep this series out of the hands of the fans for literally decades!!
Oh, thanks for the great review! I purchased the regular Blu-ray set as well. I also eagerly scooped up “The Return of the Caped Crusaders” — which was a blast — as well as the “Two Face” movie. There is no telling how many more of these “Batman ‘66” movies we could have gotten if the home video rights could have been cleared sooner.

I was born in 1976, I too, got to see the campyness that is Batman. The 60's Batman.

[jasonfray]

That was Police Chief O'Hara and Commissioner Gordon at the beach, haha

[musicman]

All things that you said are all the words that will come out of my mouth. You’ve said it all. Glad to know more from you,

At least 20th Century Fox still has the home video rights to the 1966 Batman film, just like how Paramount still has the home video rights to the two theatrical Peanuts films while Warner Home Video acquired the rights to the specials from Paramount in 2008.

[williampetersen]

Also in 2002, Adam West and Burt Ward provided the voices for Batman & Robin in The Simpsons episode Large Marge.

[lorenzorucker]

victor buono is the person that played as king tut & eli wallach is the 2nd person that played as mr. freeze

[SkalgarXLR]

I hope we get a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release of the 1966 Batman film.

[zacharylee]

The only ones That I own So Far is The classic 1966 TV Series and The classic 1966 Movie, I Still don't have he's other Batman appearance Yet Sadly But hopefully Someday I would Get All Them when I get a Chance But Some of he's other appearance is probably going to be out of Print though But I'm am Still Happy of what I got anyways RIP Adam West 🙏

In the UK we had Black and White TV's well into the 70s so saw this show in b+w first and when I saw in colour it like watching a new show all over again 😁

[sfighter]

Great Adam West era collection. I was first exposed to this series when they used to rerun this series on either "Fox" or "The Family Channel" when I was a kid in the early 90's (I was born in 1988). It wasn't until I was in Middle School I saw the show again on the "SciFi Channel" that I saw the show again. Its such an awesome campy series. Also really loved the animated movies, I thought they were great continuations of the series, especially since one of them tackled a concept that was scrapped due to the villain being "Gruesome", that being "Two-Face". Hope you get to watching that movie soon, and also hope you get "The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians" DVD sometime, I found out that that show was the first to show the death of Bruce Wayne's Parents in an episode called "The Fear".

[ThisGuyFrritz]

So, there are words like *WHAM!* and maybe *BANG!* somewhere in the series. I betcha there's no "SHAN-A LANG" in ANY episodes... No, "Sha-La-La-La" thing either! BUT, we do have the *BATUSI!*

[Funkmonkv]

He's Batman of course he has the correct gadget to get out of the sticky situations he & Robin would end up in.

[marlonk]

i never had any issue with the large box set.

[darbyreviews]

i hope Batman beyond has a blu ray release
