THE BATMAN 66 MOVIES 

It always struck me as odd that Gordon never recognizes Alfred’s voice as the “mysterious voice on the Batphone” despite meeting him numerous times. Also absolutely LOVE Return of the Caped Crusaders and Vs. Two Face

This iteration of Batman has always been a favorite of mine, as a kid who grew up with all the darker Batman stuff like the Nolan movies, Animated Series and Burton films. There was something really cool about seeing colorful lighthearted versions of characters I knew to be dark and serious

Fun fact: One of the writers of both Return Of The Caped Crusaders and Vs. Two Face is one of the two directors of the Mario movie.

The movie was in production before the TV show but the studio couldn't secure the helicopter leasing until after the first season aired.

I just watched Return of The Caped Crusaders & Batman vs. Two-Face last week and loved them both

Return of the Caped Crusaders is one of my favorite animated movies. It manages to both absolutely feel like it belongs in the 66 Batman universe, and it also dials the craziness up to 11 in every possible way.

Fun fact: Dr. Quinzel becomes Harley Quinn in an after credit scene that is exclusive to the Blu-Ray version of the movie.

Batman 66 is just like the Harley Quinn Animated Series. If taken as a Self Parody, both series are Glorious

Thanks. Grandparents, eh? I'll have you know I resemble that remark, young man! I grew up watching afternoon reruns of this show. Couldn't stand to miss it. I actually had a full Batman suit, complete with cowl & utility belt. The boots were really spats over my sneakers. How my Mom made all this happen is a story unto itself. I have this movie and I love it unconditionally. It and the series it was meant to kick off are a tongue-in-cheek send up. It knows what it is and it winks at us while pretending to take itself seriously. I understood that more as I got older, but never stopped loving it. tavi.

"Holy Perfectly Prepared Playlist, Batman!"

The series was so popular every major star was calling their agent to get on it.

Fun fact: Batman 66 is a parody played straight.

A classic that still holds up to this day

Ironically, this isn't even the first big screen appearance of Batman and Robin. Many people forget the serials that came before this in 1943 and 1949.

Always loved this batman show(re runs)as a kid. Even though the shark part scared the shit out of me lol.

i love this movie and TV show so much. watched it all the time with my grandparents

No mention of "Return to the Batcave"? You showed a short clip of it where Adam West and Burt Ward sit in the Batmobile, but I think it deserves a mention. It even had the villain actors return like the Riddler, not long before he died. And old Adam West doing the Batootsie, or what his dance was called ^^

The TV Batman wasn't the 1st, the Batman Movie serials from the 1940s was the 1st. Actually it was a 15 chapter.

The first Batman movie 🐐

Batman 1966 is NOT the first time Batman was on the big screen.. it wasn't even the second time. There are 2 serials from the 1940s

You need to see the Batman serials of 1943 and 1949. As for Bats 66 disappearing, he did that at least once in either Season 2 or Season 3.

I loved the first Batman movie so much as a kid. I watched it so many times. I don't think I was even old enough to pick up on the issues.

Idk for Pinguin, Joker could wear a mask to mock how badly it hides Riddler and Catwoman.

I remember watching reruns on TV land also. One of my best friends growing up was Bert ward's grandson. He was actually the little kid Bryan on Seinfeld that was under George's desk.

The Robin in the Bat boat is Victor Paul.

The Navy sells older ships 4 scrap metal all the time. Maybe Penguin was convincing enough as humble merchant P. N. Guinn.

I just watched Return of The Caped Crusaders because of you, OMG that was fun. Thanks

Oh we have not yet begun to fight!! As a Navy vet that line will always make me love Penguin.

The first Batman movie came out in theaters in 1943. It can be found here on youtube.

I have always loved Batman 66

Batman 66 is a perfect representation of the era in the comics where Batman smiled and was best buddies with Superman

Now do the Legends of the Superheroes TV specials!

Vee says, “The Riddle-er” Vee perhaps I’m wrong but I think it’s pronounced Riddler. As in, Ridd-ler but whatever…

Actually....there were serials on the big screen way before Adam West

One of the few things that is absolutely believable is that thing about the submarine. By the way, the navy did not “willfully give away The Penguin a submarine“. The Navy willfully SOLD The Penguin a submarine. Absolutely believable.

If you love Batman '66, there are two amazing fan productions you must see: Grayson and Batman '66 vs Star Trek

i am so glad we got to see the bright knight atleast two more times batman the brave and the bold was close but there was some thing that was not right bout it this was the real bright kight oh if you are a fan of the batman 66 comics i am half way in to the batman meets archie comics they are so much bat fun

This show was extremely intelligent! You just have to be intelligent enough to understand their willful silliness! It was tongue in cheek on purpose! It always irritates me when people tear down this show! "Not a lot of brains behind it" as you say. You have to be smart to understand what they were going for. Hell, Adam West would constantly plant his tongue firmly in his cheek after delivering his lines. You keep saying "I never understood...." , well that much is obvious!

Interesting fact, the stunt actor for Robin in the movie later appears in the series as a henchman pretending to be Robin.

King tut was the only one who figured out batmans identity in the orginal. Egghead came close. He figured it out but never got confrontation of it. So king tut was the only one who found out and confirmed to himself but was knocked back to his normal state before he could expose it.

In 2017 Adam West passed away in June 9, 2017

I'm just gonna say you're looking WAY into this

The og movie

batman 66 was interesting movie

Gotta say, my favorite scene in Batman The Movie is when Batman is running around the town with the bomb. I crack up every time.

Just starting this video but I gotta say me and my wife recently watched these animated Adam West movies and laughed soooooo hard. They were great. And Adam West is hilariously drunk.

i found the 66 show and movie funnie and very important for what batman is today, the show itself was a bet for the network, and it helped making batman popular and the hero that we love today❤

I am not a children, so shant be pissing off today

24:05 More then a Ward *Pun.

Your title led me to believe you were going to talk about all the 3 part episodes as if they could have been edited into movies. To which I say the 3 part episodes should be edited into movies.

Sorry but Adam West will always be the GOAT haha

17:43 Why does this intro sounds like if they gonna ask for my credit card info?

Typical view one of my impressions of this movie it was fantastic a view that is a changed it was certainly worth waiting for as a kid I thought was its Batman and Robin no matter where it appeared it would become a cultural icon of the 60s to 70s and into the early 80s without this a younger Tim Barton would never of dreamt up his classic take of his best work even though it wasn't as chessie or cool as the original? You are actually wrong about this 60s Batman begin the very first movie of Batman there is a back and white film set in 1930s called The Bat a very different version of the cape and cowl a lot darker and scarier than DC comis hero but still his a Bat Man that must be the earliest version of the darker Knight?

The second movie has a great plot, and its an awesome movie.

First of all this is Batman's third outing on the big screen, not his first. Secondly, at 5:55 you said golden age and I'm pretty sure you meant to say Silver age

Don't analyze or dissect the 1966 Batman enjoy it!

26:35 It Says Docter Quinzel A Clear Harley Quinn Refrance!

I Love it all the villains plots Joker 🃏 Riddler? Penguin 🐧 🐈 Catwoman

My guess is the animated movies didn't include Batgirl out of respect for Yvonne Craig. She passed away the year prior to the first one & It wouldn't feel right having the main leads back but having an impersonator beside them.

6:03 Silver Age, not Golden Age.

It was made so they could have a higher budget, build a Batcopter and Batboat, and than have the pros ready dor the tv show, and it worked.

1966 Batman The Movie was played straight unlike the TV series you can tell that if you watch the show first season then this movie you can tell it's a little bit more like the WB Batman Movies then the 1966 TV show.

Fun-ish fact: Two-Face actually appeared before the Batman vs Two-Face movie in the Batman '66 comics, and he still has the appearance of Shatner.

The first animated movie is goofy, but its enjoyable. Its a fun movie.

but with that now said I would say play the episodes that the WB movies tryed to copy then play the movies and you will get what I mean about the movie.

Batgirl? Return to the batcave?

Wait what about the serials from the 30's?

If you listen really close you can hear Bruce say funk yup with the riddler it go uhh you think you clever huh mr. Wayne clever to out wit you you stupid funk lol don't believe me it's when he was with Catwoman on that date they get k1dnapped at they never took it out of any video tapes and DVDs but not on TV lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 very true and I mean the other word for funk 😜😜

what happened to quitting RU-vid?

I finally figured out some of the BS. The movie was originally supposed to be a pilot for the series. It should have hit screen first. Batman simply didn't know Catwoman that well yet. Makes as much sense as anything else!

The voice actress for Batgirl had very recently died so they didn't include Batgirl out of general respect.

joker and penguin wearing the masks always bothered me too

Hi

Everyday wellness and how fortunate Baked crunchy and how nice to function check my brain ❤❤.

Riddle-er?

What do you mean "You'll never be able to solve the Riddler's riddles"? This is Batman 66 Riddler, all of his riddles have intentionally super obvious answers. The show was written for CHILDREN! In fact though the entire series it was always obvious what villains were involved with any particular crime because their crimes were always on theme with the character who was committing them. You don't have to be a genius to solve the "riddles" in this series, it's like solving 2+2. I don't think there's a single riddle in the series that is difficult to figure out unless it's your first time hearing them... and you're like 4. The Batman's Riddler I don't think it's possible to actually solve his riddles. That movie was made as more of a detective film where Batman hardly ever fights anyway and plays up more of the detective side but it just ends up being super boring because I have no idea how he actually pieces Riddler's plan together. He's not even Edward Nigma in that movie how did Batman even figure out his real identity without the painfully obvious E. Nigma reference? Also in regards to Two-Face... they had originally cast William Shatner not Clint Eastwood to play the role. An episode was written for him with Shatner in the role but the episode didn't end up happening because the make up required for the character was pretty much impossible in the 60's. Because of that the idea was scrapped. Clint Eastwood was a major name in Hollywood and would have been too expensive to hire for a low budget T.V. series so I don't know where you got the idea that he was ever even considered. And Shatner is the actor who would still end up in the role for the movie where they even made his animation model look like Young William Shatner as he appeared in the 60's even though Willaim Shatner doesn't actually look like that anymore. There was actually plans to make more of these animated movies but those plans where canceled when Adam West passed away. Even though this series is known for recasting a lot of it's actors already there was no interest in continuing without Adam West in the role.

it's a comedy, that's why they where the masks.Of course they don't conseal thier identities. that's the gag.

Way over thinking it.... do not try and use Logic...... take ur brain out and enjoy it lol.

66th comment

Its campy and great. Nolan Batman takes itself to seriously, is woke, and boring. His films are always full of Batman getting lectured by Lucious Fox, and Alfred, who wants to watch that? Lectured by Lucious Fox! Hahaha! Yeah...nah! The latest "The Batman" movie was pointless, not to fun to watch and is woke too. Hollywood sucks lately as can be seen in many other films.

I wished they could have made just one more in Batman ‘66 series.

😊I'm so glad you appreciate 🤍
