There was a black and white Batman TV series before that. But Adam West version was the first in colour and had some real babes. The Batman utility belt was a must for Christmas around 1970
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

Vale indeed. And a contender for VPT post-of-the-year too, might i add. :wink:

What I liked about West was, he knew he was type-cast forever as Batman from 1966 onwards, but had the good grace to roll with it, and also the nous to manipulate the publicity whenever he could, via conventions and retrospective specials, to stimulate the cash flow in the latter years.
