The original Batman TV series from the 1960s, starring Adam West as the Caped Crusader, is finally going to be available to own. ... The series, which ran from 1966 to 1968 on ABC, featured guest stars including Milton Berle, Vincent Price, Liberace and Zsa Zsa Gabor, as well as Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt as Catwoman.

Julie Newmar [aka Stupefyin' Jones] is Catwoman. There is no other.

Not one single: “Holy _____, Batman!”

My favorite was: “Holy dental hygiene, Batman!”

Love that MeTV.

Yahoo had a story about a 1994 Fantastic Four movie that was never released. It was made in a rush, in 21 days, and is apparently really campy.

The story is it was never made to be released but had everything to do with preserving a copyright claim or some such thing.

Well, here’s a Batman TV trivia question for you. Which repeating villain was played by a different actor each time?

[P.O.E.]

That was one of the best lines in that movie, which is well worth re-watching.

I think the documentary disputes the idea it was never meant to be released. It is possible that they decided that when they saw it. lol.

featured guest stars including Milton Berle, Vincent Price, Liberace and Zsa Zsa Gabor, as well as Lee Meriwether and Eartha Kitt as Catwoman.

Those are the stars that they chose to name? What about Cesar Romero as the Joker, Burgess Meredith as the Penguin, and Frank Gorshin as the Riddler? They were the most frequent guest villians.

Which repeating villain was played by a different actor each time

Hmmm. Good one. The only one that comes to mind who was played by different actors was Mr. Freeze. I know Otto Preminger was not the only one...though I don't recall the names of the other actors.

Was looking up the cast and the cameo list is just as impressive.

Think it would take a show with a 8 to 9 figure budget do do anything comparable these days.

That’s the one, played by:

George Sanders
Otto Preminger
Eli Wallach

Me...I liked Green Hornet with Bruce Lee kicking ass every week. Everyone started taking Kung Foo lessons after that.

I believe they appeared on an episode of Batman
