Let's take a look back at the birth of Batmania with the 1966 Batman TV series starring AdamWest and BurtWard as the CapedCrusaders, which debuted on this day 57 years ago on ABC.
\nDoes any fictional character have as broad a spectrum of representations as Batman? In comics alone, we've seen him span the gamut from dark pulp vigilante to rocketship-piloting 1950s Sci-Fi madcap hero. We've seen him use a handgun to kill vampires and mobsters while also being an upstanding moral do-gooder who would never take a life. Since his debut in 1939, we've seen Batman do it all and even in different colors.
This wouldn't be the case with Batman. Nearly all of the greatest villains from the comics were presented on the show, which was produced in vibrant color. Amazing sets of the Batcave were erected, and Batman's coolest gadgets were brought to life. And then there were the vehicles.
