'''''Batman''''' is a 1960s [[Television in the United States|American]] [[Live Action|live action]] [[Television Program|television series]], based on the [[DC Comics|DC]] [[Comic Book|comic book]] [[Batman|character of the same name]]. It stars [[Adam West]] as [[Batman]] and [[Burt Ward]] as [[Dick Grayson|Robin]] — two crime-fighting heroes who defend [[Gotham City]] from a [[List of Batman Television Series Characters#Criminals|variety of villains]] and their henchmen. It is known for its [[Camp (Style)|camp style]], [[Batman Theme|upbeat theme music]] and relatively simplistic youth-aimed moral lessons, including championing the importance of using seat belts, doing homework, eating vegetables and drinking milk. [[List of Batman (TV Series) Episodes|One hundred and twenty episodes]] aired on the [[American Broadcasting Company (Television Network)|ABC]] network for three seasons from January 12, 1966, to March 14, 1968, twice weekly for the first two and weekly for the third.

===Regular cast===
* [[Adam West]] as '''[[List of Batman Television Series Characters#Batman|Bruce Wayne / Batman]]''': a millionaire whose parents were murdered by criminals, he now secretly uses his vast fortune to fight crime as Batman. Producer William Dozier cast Adam West in the role after seeing him perform as the [[James Bond]]-like spy Captain Q in a Nestlé Quik television ad. Lyle Waggoner had screen tested for the role, though West ultimately won the role because, it was said, he was the only person who could deliver the lines with a straight face. West later voiced an animated version of the title character on ''[[The New Adventures of Batman (TV Series)|The New Adventures of Batman]]'' and well as ''[[Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show]]'' and ''[[The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians]]''.
* [[Burt Ward]] as '''[[List of Batman television series characters#Robin|Dick Grayson / Robin]]''': Batman's faithful partner and "boy wonder", noted for his recurring interjections in the form of "Holy ________, Batman!" (The series avoided referencing Robin's origins as Bruce Wayne's fellow "crime orphan", as whose legal guardian the courts appoint Bruce.) Ward voiced an animated version of this character on ''The New Adventures of Batman''.
* [[Alan Napier]] as '''[[List of Batman Television Series Characters#Alfred|Alfred]]''': Batman's loyal butler and Batgirl's discreet confidant.
* [[Neil Hamilton (Actor)|Neil Hamilton]] as '''[[List of Batman Television Series Characters#James Gordon|Commissioner Gordon]]''': The Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department and one of Batman's two major police contacts.
* [[Stafford Repp]] as '''[[List of Batman Television Series Characters#Chief O'Hara|Chief O'Hara]]''': Gotham City's Chief of Police, and Batman's other major police contact. (The character was created by Semple for the series, as someone for Gordon to talk to, and later briefly added to the comics.)
* [[Madge Blake]] as '''[[List of Batman Television Series Characters#Aunt Harriet|Harriet Cooper]]''': Dick Grayson's maternal aunt. (She first appeared in the comics, two years before the series premiered, to give Bruce and Dick a reason to be secretive about their dual identities).
* [[Yvonne Craig]] as '''[[List of Batman Television Series Characters#Batgirl|Barbara Gordon / Batgirl]]''': Commissioner Gordon's daughter and crime fighting partner for Batman and Robin for the third season. Occasionally this threesome was nicknamed the "Terrific Trio" (or the "Troublesome Trio" by [[Catwoman]] and the "Tiresome Trio" by Dr. Cassandra).
* [[William Dozier]] - executive producer, creator, and narrator (uncredited).

According to Adam West's memoir, ''Back to the Batcave'', his first exposure to the series concept was through reading a sample script in which Batman enters a nightclub in his complete costume and requests a booth near the wall, as he "shouldn't wish to attract attention"; it was the scrupulously formal dialogue, and the way that Batman appeared to earnestly believe he could somehow avoid attracting attention while wearing a skintight blue-and-grey costume, that convinced West of the character's comic potential.
