Batman ’66 at 60! Part 1 – Bat Flashback – Batman: The Movie Commentary

It is not hyperbole to say that without the 1966 Batman series starring Adam West and Burt Ward that this podcast wouldn’t be a thing. That series is foundational to both Andy and Mike in terms of them being Batman fans. This year, Batman ’66, as it has become more commonly known these days, is turning 60 and the guys thought that they should mark the occasion with an episode devoted to the show.

Then they thought they could make the celebration a little bigger by re-releasing two of their older episodes that were about the show since they are no longer available on the old feed.

And thus was born…Batman ’66 at 60!

For this first part, enjoy the re-release of Andy and Mike’s commentary for the Batman: The Movie! This is actually a two-for-one type thing because this movie is also celebrating its 60th anniversary. The conversation is a mix of talking about the show and the movie in general and talking about what is happening on the screen at the moment. The guys talk about the cast, the fun dynamic between the villains, the action, and how much fun this movie really is. This episode is designed so that it can be listened to while watching the movie or on its own.

It may not seem like it, but Andy and Mike do like feedback even if they are crap at getting to it. The most direct way to do this is to email them, which you can do by directing your thoughts to overlookeddarkknight@gmail.com. You can also leave a comment over on their Facebook page. You can also leave a comment at the new web home of the show, The Bailey Planet.

Next Time: Batman ’66 at 60 continues with another “classic” commentary! This time Andy and Mike talk about the Bookworm two parter.
