the REAL Batman !!!

Being a BATMAN comics fan from the early '60s on and an old car lover, when the BATMAN TV show aired on January 12, 1966 seeing that Batmobile gave me a rush I feel every time still see it today.  I have the 1:18 diecast model and it has it's special display in my collection.  

Here are some classic TV shots from my collection of BATMAN and his many villains played by Hollywood's elite.  The show was silly, but both kids and adults could enjoy it and I'd say that makes for good TV.  

I was 15 when the show premiered......your pictures re-kindle some of the over-the-top campy joy this show brought to us !!!..

....isn`t that (Leave it to Beaver) Larry Mondelo`s mom in picture 5 ?

....the batpoles are labeled so as to avoid confusion when the "to the batmobile!" call rings out  

It was amazing how many Hollywood celebs would kill to get on that show either as a villain or a cameo role.

I think Victor Buono might `o` had a personal dressing room somewhere on the set

To all great shots.  Rich is that a 1:24 Batman you showed, or larger scale?  I don't recall seeing one with a opening bonnet.

This is totally bogus.......everyone knows that the real Batman is Sergio Goldvarg.....he even has the car to prove it!

if Sergio Goldvarg were the REAL batman,could my auxiliary batman do THIS ?

@carsman1958 I screwed up and put the pics on the wrong forum. It's 1/19 scale.

@john-barry  JB; check out the cars....that Batperson is long retired.  I've seen the pics and it is Sergio Goldvarg for sure!

I concede  

As illustrated and drawn by NEAL ADAMS in the 1970's and 80's here is the real DARK KNIGHT DETECTIVE!  

BATMAN

The above are from my personal collection.  

neat pics George !!!!

here`s a not often seen look at the REAL REAL Batman when he lived in the `burbs.......and was married to Betsy

I have the alleged 1:24 scale Hot Wheels version and the Jada  1:24 with Batman / Robyn figures but neither is true to 1:24 scale!  The 1:1 was a big car @ 225 inches long If memory serves me right when I got them they measured out at about 7.75” long. If scaled right the 1:24 should be about 9.375”that’s a HUGE difference in scale over 1.5” is about three FEET shorter then it should be!  I was a bit disappointed and it makes the HW or Jada models about 1:29-1:30 scale NOT 1:24th

Gotta love Batman, Robin and the Batmobile.
