Leave us never forget the immortal FRANK GORSHIN as THE RIDDLER in the Batman TV series' debut 2-parter that aired January 12-13, 1966--and the series really never got better than that first 2-parter, because it became the template that Producer Dozier churned out pale imitations of the rest of the show's run, running it into the ground within 2 years! I especially dug Gorshin's elephant gas mask outfit (worn only in Part 2), that, in its circus-like, carnival grotesquerie--along with the show's trademark dutch angles, pop-art colors, and comic book-y superimposed sound effects--kicked off the Psychedelia era in American pop culture! #batman #batmantv #batmantvseries #batmantvshow #theriddler #frankgorshin #frankgorshinriddler #arlenschumer @dgareps @nyadventureclub @the_richardsyrettshow @adamschumer https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXkhzFPW5I/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do YOU remember the frisson of excitement, 57 years ago, the night of Wednesday, January 12, 1966— truly, “a day that will live (in infamy?) forever!”—when the Batman TV series debuted? If NOT, don’t worry—because this video of my past webinar not only recreates the pop culture atmosphere of the mid-1960s—the dawn of psychedelia—that spawned the landmark series, but details the comic book origins of the show, and how they were—and weren’t—translated to television. Of course, the ‘66 merchandising and cultural phenomenon known as “Batmania” is covered, too! By weaving together a plethora of still images with television and music clips, it'll make you look at the Batman TV series you’ve been watching for 57 years as if for the FIRST time! https://youtu.be/94VS2GmPxP8 #batman #batmanandrobin #robin #batmantv #batmantvseries #batmantvshow #batmantvseries1966 #adamwest #burtward #arlenschumer @dgareps @richardsyrettstrangeplanet @adamschumer @nyadventureclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUgSl6LOST/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Commemorating the 57th Anniversary of the debut of the Batman TV series, my article on "The Real Comic Book Origins of The Batman ’66 TV Series": "The problem is, they didn’t actually adapt the Carmine Infantino Batman that I (and other fans of the current comics) were expecting/hoping to see on our screens. Thanks to those ‘50s reprints in the annual, drawn by Moldoff and Sprang, and that Riddler issue, also illustrated by Moldoff, it was the stiffer (Moldoff) and cartoonier (Sprang) Batman they wound up adapting, for better or worse, not the more realistic, modern model by Infantino." https://bit.ly/3irjb8o #batman #robin #batmanandrobin #batmantv #batmantvseries #batmantvshow #batmantvseries1966 #adamwest #burtward #arlenschumer @nyadventureclub @adamschumer @richardsyrettstrangeplanet @dgareps https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUfpPGLX_J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

THREE FACES OF BATMAN webinar Wednesday, May 5 @ 9:30pm EST: BATMAN, the most popular superhero in the world (despite not being 'super'), debuted in the month of May, 1939—and since then, there have been so many different, yet equally loved, iterations of the character over its 80+ year history. This is the story of Batman, told through the lens of three different media: comics, animation, and television! Join New York Adventure Club and comic book-style illustrator and pop culture historian Arlen Schumer (The Silver Age of Comic Book Art) as we celebrate, analyze, and enjoy 3 of the greatest versions of the Dark Knight via still images, film clips, and Schumer’s usual trenchant and witty commentary: The Batman TV series (1966-8), Hall of Fame comic book artist Neal Adams’ legendary Batman run (1968-74), and Warner Bros.’ groundbreaking Batman: The Animated Series (1992-5).
