The Batmobile created by George Barris for the 1966 TV series was based on a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car that was purchased directly from Ford after making the auto show rounds. And before the iconic Batmobile went Art Deco under Tim Burton's watch or had its DNA mixed with that of a tank when Chris Nolan rebooted the Batman film franchise, it was the epitome of sixties futuristic chic. And I'm glad that his hometown of Walla Walla has started the relatively new tradition of Adam West Day.Before there was Michael Keaton or Christian Bale (or Val Kilmer or even George Clooney for that matter), there was Adam West. I'm so glad he got to see a career resurgence before he left us, not only with Batman, but voicing characters like Mayor West on Family Guy. This renewed focus on Batman '66 would lead to two animated reunion movies, which you can take a look at here.Īdam West passed away in 2017, at the age of 88. Figures using the likenesses of Adam West and Burt Ward would soon appear on shelves at Target and other big retailers, along with their core villains the Joker (Caesar Romero), Catwoman (Julie Newmar), Penguin (Burgess Meredith), and the Riddler (Frank Gorshin). It was at this time that TV's dynamic duo teased new Batman '66 merchandise, the first new collectibles in years, at least on this large a scale. I prefer to think of myself as "The Bright Knight." They have the new Batman movies The Dark Knight.
Man, it's amazing that it's still there, all over the world.
