That's also true of James West. I just don't know what we're gonna do.

Catman still remembers him running through the streets chasing some looters and shooting at them with his cat cannon.

Interesting trivia, Clint Eastwood was supposed to play Two Face, but the producers thought that character was too grusome looking for TV. Now that I think about it, the show had so many missed oppurtunities, Anthony Perkins would have been perfect for Scarecrow and Fred Gwynne could have been Solomon Grundy.

He couldn't even get rid of a bomb Sort of reminds me of this scene. I wonder if the running sequence was inspired.

Heard a story once that they wanted Robert Kennedy on the show but couldn't get him.

..and Fred West can no longer commit evil. Bet not many of us Yanks get this reference. Other than Jack the Ripper and maybe Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, not many Brit serial killers get a lot of ink

The Batman series was canceled because the studio executives wanted to allocate all the money towards westerns. That is also the reason why Star Trek was canceled and Lost in Space was canceled, and Bewitched was canceled. A bunch of old men in charge of running the television studios who were out of step with the times. Sort of like how we have fat old Republicans in government who are out of step with the times and want to turn real life into an old fashioned western. Still wanting to fight another world war the John Wayne way. Putting scantily supplied troops on the ground so they can hear the "Wilhelm scream" in real life.

Now that I think about it, the show had so many missed oppurtunities, Anthony Perkins would have been perfect for Scarecrow and Fred Gwynne could have been Solomon Grundy. I always wondered if the Eastwood/Batman rumor was true. The villains were all name actors but were any at the top of their game? Burgess Meredith was still making A movies but was 8th or 9th billed. Cesar Romero was making crap. Julie Newmar was doing guest spots on TV shows. Frank Gorshin was a character actor that could do an accent. Clint Eastwood might have been making so-called "Spaghetti Westerns" but he was top billed in a franchise that was selling tickets. Singing on to play a comic book villain in a campy TV show for two episodes would be like winning the MVP for the Yankees and then signing on to play for the Waffletown Syrups in the minor leagues. Batman was a brilliantly funny show but looked on a kiddie crap at the time. And the producers were doing everything to wreck it. Ending the cliffhangers, idiotic villains (Clock King, Louie the Lilac?)

Anne Baxter from TTC played Zelda the Great, Cliff Robertson was "Shame", Tallulah Bankhead was Black Widow. Roddy McDowell ("Bookworm") might have been the biggest star to do Batman. Three years before he was Octavian in Cleopatra and a couple years after he did Planet of the Apes.
