1960s Batman

Toy: 1966 Batmobile, Hot Wheels 2007 Series








Na-na-nana-nanana.nana...Batman! The things that I really remember about the show were:

1) The Batmobile
2) The wacky punch captions and...
3) The Batclimb

Who can forget the batclimb? Although I didn't realize then that it was simply impossible for anyone to throw a bat rope that high up. But I was six so who cares? ;)


For anyone else too young to remember the show, here is the breakdown of the weekly plot:

1) Villain enters town
2) Gordon calls Batman
3) Batman and Robin go to the Commissioner's office
4) The duo go after the criminal
5) They get caught and put in a trap
6) By some incredible means they escape
7) They chase the villain
8) A fight with the bad guys
9) Justice prevails and off to prison the villains go
