Wow I remember this show! Really the first instance of Batman in other media I ever saw.

I liked the eyecatch between commercial breaks that featured Juan Garcia Lopez artwork.

..and ah Filmation. They could be so good yet so very bad. Bat-Mite is such a precursor to Orko. :p

Loved their designs for the villains, and yeah, Batmite was a throughly bad character. Comics picked him up too, but it'd take a few years for him to be reinvented as a Mr. Mxyzlyplitx-esque footnote in the modern DC universe.

Adam West also got to try out his pre-Family Guy VA legacy with this show, unintentionally of course.

I still think the 1987 Japanese-dubbed version (Denkou Sekka Battoman/Lightning Speed Batman) is superior, especially with its cool rock theme!

Japanese Music? Batman? And he didn't combine with something or power up into a super form? This is madness!
