Thanks to my buddies down the street who had a color TV, I was the only one in my class who saw the first TV episodea in color!!! Years before the TV show started, a local Keith's movie theater had a summer childrens festival, just like the old Saturday times in the 30's and 40's where they showed some B sf movies and before and after each feature, they showed the 1949 Batman and Robin. I remember then laughing at the bat cowl and missing the big bat-head on the Batmobile.

Any time of the year, don't you hear? If it's square, we ain't there. We make every minute count; Our share is always the biggest amount. Other guys imitate us, but the original is still the greatest. In crowd! Any time of the year, don't you hear? Spendin cash; talkin trash. I'll show you a real good time; Come on with me and leave your troubles behind. I don't care where you've been, You ain't been no where 'il you been in--- With the in crowd. With the in crowd. In crowd! In crowd! - GJS

It played in the Presidio Theater, which normally played tame, soft core porno films. During one of the breaks there was an announcement over the PA system for all the kids to leave the auditorium during the break, and you could hear an excited rustle go though the attendees. The trailer did have some nude scenes which made the evening even more fun. Remember, you can always trust Honest Pa Stark

Mar 4 09 8:04 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	An Evening With started in 1965 which was where it was shown all in one sitting. Then in 1966 it was shown in a two sitting format (Chapter 1-8 and then 9-15). That ebay brochure is for the two-sitting format showings. Despite that brochure and posters clearly saying "Batman and Robin", it was not the 1949 serial with that title, but the 1943 serial ("Batman") with Daka that was shown in the 1966 two sitting format. One of the pages of the brochure has a photo of Daka. Prior to seeing this brochure and speaking with someone who saw the 1943 serial in the two part format, I had only seen the posters - and assumed incorrectly that they were for the 1949 serial. Hope this makes sence.... I am Doctor Daka, so I should know - right? :-) MJBare wrote: Here's a ebay listing that suggests that the release of the "Adventures" was during 1966, after the January debut of the TV series. http://cgi.ebay.com/1966-Columbia-Pictures-Batman-Robin-Serial-Brochure_W0QQitemZ120383404917QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item120383404917&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318#ebayphotohosting Last Edited By: Doctor Daka Mar 4 09 8:07 PM.

Mar 4 09 10:40 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The EVENING WITH BATMAN AND ROBIN I saw (in suburban Chicago) was in one sitting and it was the '43 BATMAN, so does that mean I would have seen it in late 1965 BEFORE the January debut of the TV show? My own memory is untrustworthy.

At least that's how and where I saw it in, I believe, 1965. It was after the revival took off with people who came to laugh at it that it was shown in all 15 chapters as AN EVENING WITH BATMAN AND ROBIN.

That would appear to be proof that my first post, and the rumor about the origins of the TV Batman, are correct. What I heard was that Hugh Hefner showed the Batman serials at the Playboy mansion, where some Hollywood types saw how popular and funny the serials were with the audience and thus created the campy series. The question I have: is this just an urban legend, or how it actually happened? My God, what's Bond doing?...

Except, Dr., that I think the Mike Henry as Batman trail ballon pics date from before all this? It seems to be one of those common times in history where several different pots came to boil at the same time? -Craig
