And for those wanting something not too dissimilar, perhaps the spiritual successor to #Batman66 is the excellent Batman: The Brave and the Bold. One of the best Batman cartoons of all time.
But the true legacy of #Batman66 is that all these years on (60 years this year!), it’s still regarded as a beloved show. It entered the zeitgeist, was parodied many times, and influenced the ‘90s movies and more! It’s arguably one of the greatest bits of Batman mythology in existence.
And then there were two animated #Batman66 movies: Return of the Caped Crusaders and Batman Vs. Two-Face (with William Shatner voicing Two-Face).
Outside of #Batman66, Adam West, Burt Ward, and Frank Gorshin reprised their roles of Batman, Robin, and Riddler respectively in the ‘70s for the AWFUL Legends of the Superheroes TV special.
And #Batman66 concludes with a rather uneventful episode featuring Zsa Zsa Gabor as Minerva. Not a great way to end the show (it should have ended with the movie), but with the budget cuts and the drop in ratings it’s not surprising the show concluded here.
Have to say, despite the budget cuts I really like the Batgirl era, especially the single episode format. For me, #Batman66 lost its momentum during season two. Too long, and the double-episode format became stale…
Into the penultimate episode of #Batman66 and the villain is Dr. Cassandra Spellcraft.
Presumably the popularity of Bewitched influenced this foe.
#Batman66 continues and it’s the final appearance of King Tut.
Created for the show, Tut is without doubt the best original character the show ever came up with.
Shame he never really took off in any other form of Batman media (despite a few appearances here and there).

Onto the next episode of #Batman66 and Catwoman returns!*
*This time played by Eartha Kitt
"The cliffhanger in last week's JOKER was noticeably weak," wrote William Dozier to Howie Horwitz on 1/31/66. "We must be certain to always have a recognizable PHYSICAL jeopardy at the end of episode one." Thus, there were no more cliffhangers where merely Batman's secret ID was at stake! #Batman66
Onto the final three-parter for #Batman66 and it’s reserved for a trip to Londinium! The villains are Lord Marmaduke Ffogg and Lady Penelope Peasoup.
The action is supposed to take place in a version of London, but clearly it’s all shot in the US.
Today on #Batman66 it’s back to the two-part format for a titanic team-up! It’s Egghead and… erm… Olga Queen of the Cossacks.

Vincent Price as Edgar Heed (Egghead), holding up a magnifying glass to his eye.
“Get ready for an eggsotic experience.” ~ Edgar Heed (Egghead), as played by Vincent Price.
He appeared in two episodes of Batman: An Egg Grows in Gotham, and The Yegg Foes in Gotham.

On today’s #Batman66 the format briefly returns to a two-part story, which involves a team-up between The Penguin and Lola Lasagne (Ethel
Merman).
This season includes more female villains, presumably due to Batgirl being in the show. It’s just a shame there’s no Poison Ivy.
Batgirl's always fought dirty. #batgirl #yvonnecraig #batman66 #batgirl66 #hitinthenuts

This morning on #Batman66, The Siren strikes; Batgirl uses the Batphone; Commissioner Gordon (briefly) discovers Batman’s secret identity; and Robin and Batgirl come out of the closet.
Onto Season Three of #Batman66, and they’ve already retained a couple of elements from the short pilot, including Barbara Gordon working at the Gotham library, and Commissioner Gordon calling her on the phone.
A number of famous bands have recorded Neil Hefti's #Batman66 theme over the years. In 1967, #theKinks recorded a medley that included the Batman theme live on stage in Scotland! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRHe... What other "Batman" covers by famous artists do you know?
Before moving onto Season Three of #Batman66, it’s time for a lesser seen curio, the Batgirl pilot!
At just under 8 minutes, this short was created as test intro for Batgirl. My understanding is the show didn’t fly due to a dip in Batman’s ratings, so Batgirl was added to Season Three instead.
