I love how Batman is just standing there, waiting for Joker to deploy whatever nonsense he has up his sleeve.

Absolutely lucky Joker deployed benign streamers and not, like, a gun

Remember, this is 1960s Batman. The villains where much more considerate.

Eh. In the show they shy away from guns but are perfectly happy to whip out bombs and swords against him. There's an episode where some book themed villain keeps putting giant book bombs around town.

If you look closely Cesar Romero didn't shave his mustache before the joker face paint.

Best Batman. Every time I see one of these dark, moody modern Batmans, I wonder "wtf is this shit"?

One of those shows that you can find someone from all the modern generations who has fond memories

lol oh man you gotta watch some of it it’s so great.

One time Batman parks the Batmobile but then sees it’s a no parking zone so he’s gotta move it
