What can you say about one of the all-time classics?

Adam West and Burt Ward camped it up for three seasons of superhero action as they battled against the nefarious plans of the Joker, Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin, King Tut etc.

Also worthy of note is the 1966 movie spin-off which, unlike most attempts to put a TV series on the big screen, is actually worth ninety-minutes of anyone's time.
