Friday Fun BATMAN "Bat-Climb featuring Santa Claus"

Let's kick off Friday Fun's Yuletide season with the ultimate team-up: Kris Kringle...

...and the legendary Dynamic Duo, Batman and Robin!

One of the hallmarks of 1960s Batman series was the "Bat-Climb", where the Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder would encounter celebrities or characters from other shows as they scaled the wall of a building with their Bat-Rope (using a set turned sideways so the actors were merely pretending to be climbing.)

In this second-season episode ("The Duo is Slumming", featuring the one-shot villain Puzzler), airing right before Christmas in 1966, the Dynamic Duo meet Kris Kringle, played by an uncredited Andy Devine.

(After all, the producers didn't want kids to think Santa wasn't real...)

Batman
the Complete 1960s TV Series

Batman the TV Series on DVD/BluRay...FINALLY!

We're Leaping for Joy!

At last, the 1960s Batman TV series is being released on home video!

A complete series box set has been confirmed, with individual season sets a likely alternative for those who don't want to spend a fortune at one shot...

Ah, to relive the childhood memories of those long-lost days...

Now, where's the other Dynamic Duo of the 1960s...

The Green Hornet?

(and Kato, of course)

Why not a mega-set of the two shows?

Happy (Belated) Anniversary, Batman!

With all the hubbub about the new Green Hornet film, it totally slipped my mind that January 12th marked the 45th anniversary of the debut of the pop-art oriented Batman tv series, without which, there wouldn't have been a Green Hornet series to "inspire" Seth Rogan's flick!
Here's a special treat for the pop art graphics aficionados among you...
