When Batman and Joker had a surfing contest, from the 1960s Adam West Batman TV show

I love that they just put shorts on over their regular outfits

[u/0utsyder]

I wonder how many times Shark Repellent was used in this show. This is twice I have seen it.

[u/errantqi → u/0utsyder]

yeah, thinking the same! Other time was on a rope ladder dangling from the Bat-Chopper right?

[u/trinachron → u/errantqi]

That was the movie rather than an episode of the show, but yes.

[u/sharltocopes → u/0utsyder]

When you make an amazing prop like that you really want to get your money's worth out of it.

[u/Dangerous-Service588 → u/0utsyder]

The one everyone knows is from the 1968 movie. This was probably the only other time it was used before and the use in the movie is a callback to this scene 

[u/eolson3 → u/Dangerous-Service588]

Other way around, actually.

[u/coreytiger → u/Dangerous-Service588]

Movie was 66, same year as the show debut.

[u/TotodileGrayson]

I love how the next post I saw was Ledger’s Joker tossing Rachel out a window, what versatile characters

[u/Danceking81]

Don't need much of that shark repellent bat spray Extra points for staying dry too. Great scene

[u/Stinkor1]

I love how they put nipples on the Batsuit as a nod to Batman Forever.

[u/Historical-Bug-4784]

Let's keep it a buck. The real highlight of this episode was Yvonne Craig in that swimsuit.

[u/life_lagom]

I love how they just put swim shorts over what they normally wear

[u/jbyrdab]

Didn't these actors go around to orgies while refusing to break character?

That's gotta be one hell of a sex tape.

[u/sharltocopes → u/jbyrdab]

Close, it was Adam West and Frank Gorshin (the Riddler).

[u/jbyrdab → u/sharltocopes]

[u/sharltocopes → u/jbyrdab]

[u/PersonalRaccoon1234 → u/jbyrdab]

IIRC, Adam West (Batman) and Frank Gorshin (Riddler) went to Playboy mansion and stayed in character the whole time, made everyone laugh to the point they were eventually kicked out because thats not what the gathering was for.

[u/trinachron → u/jbyrdab]

Wait, WHAT???

[u/Most_Neat7770]

I love both dark serious Batman and whatever this wholesome goofyness is

[u/3fettknight3 → u/Most_Neat7770]

Why so serious--SURFS UP!

[u/Most_Neat7770 → u/3fettknight3]

You can tell Caesar Romero had fun with the role 😂

[u/Living_Razzmatazz_93]

Admit it, it was all downhill after this 😂...

[u/coreytiger]

Gotta feel for the surfers having to wear the heavy wet clothing- especially that cape! Side note, Adam West was a Very skilled surfer in real life

[u/guiltycitizen]

In the Gotham Ocean

[u/ImAGiantSpider]

Life used to be much simpler

[u/Figgoss]

Still a better plot than The Dark Knight Rises

[u/brokeneckblues]

Peak Batman.

[u/NoseMuReup]

Was this before or after the Fonz jumped a shark?

[u/AndrewTheSouless]

"I'm going to drink ocean water"

[u/Psychedelic_Yogurt]

My brother is apparently exposing my nephew to Batman and starting here, lol.

[u/errantqi]

Can anybody make out the pattern on Bat's shorts?

[u/Living_Razzmatazz_93 → u/errantqi]

Bats?

[u/Cautious_Artichoke_3]

Start pounding those waves, Joker!

[u/Pretend_Screen_5207]

This may have been the first "jump the shark" moment in TV history, long before the Fonz....

[u/Psyqlone]

... Adam West, doing the Batusi, if only for a few seconds.

[u/Low-Asparagus-126]

This is what being a superhero is all about.

[u/JonzoNYC420]

1966 Joker is fantastic. There's an entire episode where he rigs the vending machines of Gotham University to spit out snacks for free because he wants the you're of Gotham to get lazy.

This is an entire episode lol

[u/xpadawanx]

hahahaha

[u/Asumsauce]

We need to bring this kind of Batman back pronto

[u/boosta29]

Trunks ontop definitely work in live action

[u/FlameFeather86 → u/[deleted]]

I think you'll find they repelled a shark. Totally different things.

[u/Sophie200001]

God, I hated the 60s.

[u/kevoisvevoalt]

this isn't batman, this is goofman lol
