I swear, I thought I had dreamed this show up! I absolutely remember watching it as a kid, because I loved the old Batman show and I thought it was great that he and Burt Ward and Frank Gorshin and all these guys were playing their old characters again.
I saw the show where they roasted Batman and Robin, and the only part I really remember is that Robin had somehow managed to wreck the Batmobile, and they got called to go fight a crime, and Batman of course said, "To the Batmobile!" and Robin replied, "Why don't we just walk this time, Batman?"
And Batman stared at him incredulously and said, ".....WALK to a crime scene, Robin???" It was hilarious.
If anybody has any info on how to obtain a copy of these shows I'd be all over it! :-)

Here's an idea...
Let's take all of DC Comics' top Super-heroes... and make a sitcom out of them!
That's exactly what this was, laughtrack and all. Think 'Superfriends' in live action form. This series contained a total of two episodes, the first one being all of the heroes trying to spoil a plot of world domination against a number of villians. And it all took place between a park, a gas station, a dirt road, and their headquarters.
The second episode was a roast hosted by Ed McMahon, where all of the heroes were humiliated by former friends and family members. Just plain painful to watch.

When I was young, this was the greatest thing to ever happen to me because I was so into comic books. It's like a blur now, but I would love to see it again. It sucked, but in such a cool way. If I didn't meet up with someone else who remembers it as a blur, but knew that Adam West played the Batman role, I'd have never known the name of the movie.
Australia calling. I never knew this even existed until just hours ago when, by chance, I bumped into on YouTube. Amazing! When I saw Batman and Robin talking like the 1960s B&R my jaw hit the ground! How could this have been made without anybody ever talking about it over the last three decades? A live action Adam West/Burt Ward Batman show in 1979!
I have read so many things about Batman/Adam West, I have seen a few television shows on Adam West, but no mention of this??
This is eleven years after Batman (1966-68) ended but Adam and Burt look just great! And they are sometimes with my other caped friend Captain Marvel which makes it even better!
You can say what you like about the bad jokes, and I admit the non-Batman parts of this show are mostly unwatchable, but hey, when B&R are present the whole thing is well worth watching...and I want it on DVD.

I own a copy of this and it's hilarious. Watching it nowadays, it's so comical. I love the riddler! He's perfect and Frank Gorshin does him beautifully! I think everyone should see this movie! Even if it is just for a laugh!
Did you know
- TriviaIn his autobiography, Adam West explicitly regretted this project; specifically the extremely cheap production. Of note are that the episodes were recorded on videotape rather than film, the heroes' and villains' respective headquarters are clearly the same set, exterior shots all take place in the same park, even by the standards of the day, the special effects are crude, and most of the hero and villain costumes are of low quality.
