Batman - Season 1

With perfectly pitched scripts and the iconic high-camp cleverness of "POW!," "THWACK!" and "ZAP!" graphics, Batman leapt off the pages of the comics and into our living rooms to become one of the biggest hits in television history. Witness the debut of diabolical foes, from the raucous Riddler to the persuasive Penguin to the calculating Catwoman, as they attempt to confound our Caped Crusaders, Batman (Adam West) and Robin (Burt Ward).
