The Batman tv show is 60.
Adam West should have got an Emmy for this scene alone.
I love DeNiro, Washington, Day-Lewis etc but none of them have had an acting challenge like this.

As a little kid i was only allowed to watch after-school Batman reruns every other day (Arbeiten macht frei, amirite?). When a Batman two-parter came along it meant I’d miss the second episode…

…so I announced to mom I wanted to switch from M-W-F to T-Th, and she agreed. The Man outwitted, I was able to watch the 2nd part. Next time a two-parter dropped, I tried the same move but the system struck back. Denied, & stuck forever on 2 days of Batman per week instead of 3. Holy Injustice!

The amount that I loved this show as a little kid is directly related to how much I've loved The Cramps for the past 35 years.

Used to act out Batman plots during recess at kindergarten. There was always a big argument off the top about who got to be Batman and who had to be Robin.

I was in 2nd or 3rd grade when the show first aired (it was big even in Canada I guess.) The episodes were shown on back to back days cliffhanger style and there would be a buzz in the schoolyard. My mom made me a home-made Batman costume for Halloween one of those years.

I was born in New York so lovely to hear kindergarten again.
Distinctly remember a Batman ep where he got covered in cement at the end and mum had to explain to me that he’d escape unscathed next ep as I was worried…

I have long thought they should revive the 60s Batman show. Get Jon Hamm in the lead.

Just imagining the floor crew watching this & trying not to crack up throughout.

There was an account in the Other Place devoted to the West Batman programme; no idea if it moved over here, but it was great fun having '60s Batman stuff crop up in my feed.

Seriously the presence and discipline of West in this scene is beyond reproach.

The modern day version of this was Tatiana Maslany
