Adam West and Burt Ward star as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson aka Batman and Robin who fight a never ending battle against crime in a major metropolitan city named Gotham.
Each week they faced a new a twisted criminal genius who had plans to wipe them out and take over either the city or the world. This show started out as a mid season replacement and became a huge hit. The episodes ran on two consecutive nights and it was always a pleasure to watch this when growing up.
I still love this show immensely and always will. The debut villain was The Riddler played by Frank Gorshin an then as time went on we were introduced to The Penguin (Burgess Meredeth), The Joker (Caesar Romero), Mr. Freeze (George Sanders), Zelda The Great (Anne Baxter), Mad Hatter (David Wayne), False Face (Malachi Throne), Cat Woman (Julie Newmar), King Tut (Victor Buono), and Bookworm (Roddy McDowell).
Season two would introduce more bizarre villains. The episodes all look better than ever on both DVD and Blu-ray. A huge thanks to warner for finally making these available. You can buy these one season at a time or the entire collection of three years.
Lastly I need to mention some of the gorgeous sixties actresses that appeared in these episodes as well. They included Leslie Parrish, Jill St. John, Nancy Kovack, Shelby Grant, and of course the incredibly sexy Judy Pace. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
