I've always spoken of how much the 1966 Batman TV series means to me; growing up it was my introduction to the Batman mythos and still rings a chord to this day as a great alternative depiction of the character (much like how future iterations by Tim Burton, Joel Schumacher, and Christopher Nolan were alternative depictions).

I didn't realize how much the series owed to the great film serial tradition, with the thrilling cliffhanger ending that leads into the second part. Forgoing the emotional tethers of the comic mythos (the deaths of the Waynes and Graysons, the twenty or so years training abroad) what you the viewer are left with is a rollicking good adventure story that one can definitely say is extraordinarily silly but never gave into its silliness or became aware of it. That Adam West and Burt Ward could keep the pace of the show without breaking character is something to be seen as both actors in their roles as Batman and Robin rarely ever cracked and crumbled into laughter at the delightful camp of the show. To say how much I loved the show I went out and got as much of the corresponding merchandise I could. I'm still missing the Batman and Joker from the episode "Surf's Up" as well as Catwoman but those will be rectified soon enough.

I think this is quite possibly my best incarnation involving the 1966 series and characters, with the appropriate word cutouts applied and the colors popping like a scene from the show. The camera is even tilted just slightly to recreate how the camera would appear in the show.
