for everyone

If you don't laugh at least once in the entirety of this 4-minute clip, we're not friends anymore. I mean, where else can you see Batman bitch-slapping a rubber shark?

No man, the best was the "Bat Dust Separator" at the end of the TV movie. Where the UN leaders where de-hydrated and turned to dust all the colors of the rainbow. Then Batman brings them to his lab, separates the colors, adds water and BAM!

Instant people!

Also saw one on QTV the other day. Batman was trapped and being tortured by King Tut. He was dropping marbles on his head (apparently meant to brainwash him into midlessness). Then after dancing like an idiot, Adam West gets close to the bad guy, flips out and beats the sh*t out of his minions. He shouts something to the effect of,

"You thought I was brainwashed, but I survived by reciting the multiplication table BACKWARDS!"

You just can't beat this show.

hmmm... makes me wonder... was the show meant to be ridiculously campy? or during that time, this was actual viable and groundbreaking entertainment? no complaints here, bless 'em... just curious.

It's a good thing they labeled that bat-ladder, otherwise I wouldn't have known what it was.

This only means that you paused the video and actually took the time to read what the other "Oceanic Repellent Bat Sprays" were. Like me! LoL

The Barracuda spray trumps all!!!

The show as a whole was meant to be funny to some extent. But I don't think that's the case in this video. I'd say this is what an adrenaline-charged sequence looks like back then. Heh.

Note: No matter how someone tries to spoil you, you will never be ready when the evil rubber shark appears. NEVER!

Who remembers when they used to turn the camera on the side so they "climb" buildings?

Or when they had that old spiderman show. Whenever he shot a webline, someone would throw a rope (as in literal a thick white rope) that would miraculously find yet another flagpole to wrap itself around.

I wish they'd come out with commemorative DVD of some of these things!
