I never got a chance to view the series until the late eighties however I did see the movie on its release back in 1966 (aged 7) and I was hooked. I WAS Batman, I remember many an hour imagining that my friend and I were fighting crime that was the secret of the 66 Batman he was our hero. My parents and siblings would buy me Batman related toys or the costume and I was off into my World of the imagination what great times. My only wish was that I could have met the great man himself failing that, thank you Adam West for a great childhood.
