During the 2+ year run of Batman, it became one of the hottest tv series in Hollywood. Actors that did little or no tv agreed to play villains on Batman. Cliff Robertson even spoofed his Western movies, playing an evil cowboy named Shame. Some of the other villains in the tv series:
The Penguin..............Burgess Meredith The Joker................Cesar Romero The Riddler..............Frank Gorshin in several eps John Astin in one Egghead..................Vincent Price King Tut.................Victor Buono Catwoman.................Eartha Kitt Julie Newmar Mr. Freeze...............George Sanders The Mad Hatter...........David Wayne Bookworm.................Roddy McDowell The Archer...............Art Carney Lola Lasagna.............Ethel Merman Minerva..................Zsa Zsa Gabor The Devil................Joan Crawford The Black Widow..........Tallulah Bankhead Lady Fogg................Joan Collins Lord Fogg................Rudy ValleeBatman Adam West Robin Burt Ward Alfred the Butler Alan Napier Aunt Harriet Madge Blake Chief O'Hara Stafford Repp Commissioner Gordon Neil Hamilton Barbara Gordon Yvonne Craig TV themesong Neal Hefti 1960s Batman Cast
Batman (1943), 15 awful episodes (he wears black long-underwear, grey swim trunks, a viking helmet, and drives a Model-T batmobile) were nevertheless well-received as "Plan 9 From Outer Space" type camp when an edited feature-length version was re-released in 1965. Batman Movies & Serials
Batman & Robin (1949, aka The Return of Batman), 15 more episodes. A hooded villain is The Wizard.
Batman (1966) movie and tv series
In 1977, Adam West & Burt Ward reprised their roles in a Saturday morning cartoon series The New Adventure of Batman, which used the newly-perfected Rotoscope process for more fluid animation.
Previous cartoon series were The Batman-Superman Hour (1967-68), which replaced The Superman-Aquaman Hour (1966-67), and Superfriends starting in 1973.
Legends Of The Superheroes (1979 tv-movie in 2 parts). In part 1, superheroes competed against supervillains in offbeat "Battle of the Network Stars" type games of skill. In part 2, Ed McMahon hosted The Roast, a mild battle of wits.
Characters/actors who took part:
Batman/Adam WestIn the 1990s, a gritty new animated series was started by the Fox network, reflecting the new Dark Knight Batman comic books, then went to first-run syndication starring mostly unknown actors, with Mark Hamill as The Joker. The third Batman hollywood movie didn't do so well, and there is serious talk of releasing a feature-length animated Batman in theaters (previous animated Batman features were seen only on tv or in video).
