That is a very nice and inspiring post. I was also born the same year as you. I also remember coming home from grade school with my younger brother in the 1970s and watching Batman; we always looked forward to it. I don't remember all of the episodes now though, like the one with Jerry Lewis. I am sure you will enjoy the premiere of Batman 2 when it comes out in 2026, as will I.

Thank you very much @ Jacki, and the fact that you and I are the same age assures me that you know and understand my sentiment towards the Batman character as you do as well. Did your brother watch Batman along with you? Lol.. My favorite episode(s) are the very first episodes Pts. 1&2 with The Riddler, the first season two part episodes with False Face, and the two part episodes featuring The Green Hornet and Kato. Speaking of the character of "False Face" that particular character was the first and last time you saw him on the Batman show because the producers and Mr. Dozier received several letters from concerned parents that the "False Face" character was too "scary" for their children to watch as parents supposedly were experiencing traumatic emotional experiences after watching the character on the show, so the producers and I suppose Mr. Dozier scrapped the False Face character for good. His appearance on the show didn't overwhelm me into a post traumatic frenzy Lol. Do you remember those particular episodes? I enjoyed those episodes mainly because I saw those two episodes as being quite unique as opposed to the zany escapades when The Joker, Catwoman or even the character "Shame" co-starred on the show. The one show from my childhood that caused me several traumatic experiences was the 60's "The Munsters" TV show Ha!. I had a difficult time watching actor Fred Gwynne in his Herman Munster/Frankenstein make-up. As the youngest of three children with two older bossy sisters they would sometimes hold me down in front of the television attempting to force me to get over my fears and watch The Munsters which I scrambled and flung my arms and legs to try to get free from their restraints to run from the television. My sisters version of "Aggressive Therapy" Ha! You mentioned Jerry Lewis being on the show, I remember Jerry Lewis in the "window scenes" where a surprise actor, entertainer, or performer would suddenly pop out of a window as Batman and Robin are performing their "Bat-walk" up a roof. I remember actor Alan Hale Jr. (The skipper from Gilligan's Island) was a guest star on the show featuring the villain "Egghead" aka Vincent Price. Alan Hale portrayed the owner of a malt shop named "Gilligan" on that episode. Also another episode I remember featuring actor Jerry Mathers aka The Beaver of the "Leave it To Beaver" TV show of the 50's portraying an ice cream shop employee and as "Pop" the stage doorman on the show as well. I wish The Batman 2 was coming out in theaters sooner like 2025! Lol but hey I can wait Lol and Thanks I'm sure I will enjoy it and I'm certain you will enjoy it as well.

Hi Kaydee, actually my brother was the one who got me interested in watching Batman. He loved that show, so I watched it with him. He has a better memory than me on some things; he probably remembers more about the show than I do. Lol. I do share your sentiment about the show. I loved the premise; the good guys vs. the bad guys, and I liked the fact that millionaire, Bruce Wayne, dedicated himself to fight against evil even though he could have lived the life as a rich playboy, he wanted to fight against evil. I did like the episodes with the Riddler. I remember episodes with the Penguin, the Joker, and Egghead. I do remember seeing False Face; I didn't think he was scary either. Now Cesar Romero's makeup for the Joker was a little "ugly" to me, but not too scary; he reminded me of a clown and to this day I don't care for clowns, they sort of "freak me out" Lol. I used to love the "bat-walk". I wish I could remember the one with Jerry Lewis, but I can't; maybe I'll come across it on MeTV reruns. You have an excellent memory. I remember seeing the Munsters on reruns and the Adams Family as a kid; I didn't really care for either of those shows. I'm so sorry your sisters did that to you. As an older sister, I didn't make my brother watch anything he didn't like. We tried to look out for each other even to this day. I'm sure that the Batman 2 movie will be good; it seems like Hollywood always takes so long to make a movie. I'm sure we'll enjoy it when it's released. Oh, and by the way, when I signed up for the MeTV app, my name "Jackie" was already taken, so I had to take the "e" off for the app. It's been nice posting with you about the Batman show and the upcoming The Batman 2 movie. Maybe Hollywood will surprise us and release the movie sooner than 2026, stranger things have happened. 😊

That is too funny ... I remember well when Ol Jer popped out that window ... it was like he had to be everywhere at that time, and yeah it was jarring. "HeeeyyyyLLLAAAAAAA-DEEEEEEEE!"

😂

Oh, I haven't seen that episode. I'll have to be on the lookout for it. 😄
