Batman: A Celebration of the Classic TV Series

A Celebration of the Classic TV Series

Author: Robert Garcia and Joe Desris  

National and local press features, articles and reviews. Film and entertainment magazine articles and reviews. Exclusive content on major movie/TV websites and key entertainment blogs. Cross promotions with film/TV distributor. Batman and all related characters and elements are trademarks of and (c) DC Comics. (s14). At last: the book Bat-Fans have been waiting! For the first time, the classic 1960s Batman TV show receives the lavish coffee table tribute book it so richly deserves. The show, starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin, was nothing less than a cultural phenomenon in the mid-60s (even the Pope was a fan!), and it is still in worldwide syndication today. The show featured an all-star Rogues Gallery of Villains, including Burgess Meredith as The Penguin, Cesar Romero as The Joker, Julie Newmarr and Eartha Kitt as Catwoman and Vincent Price as Egghead. The book will feature both classic images and rare photographs and production art from the show, and will be the definitive companion to the series.

For the first time, the classic 1960s TV series starring Adam West and Burt Ward as the dynamic duo Batman and Robin gets the lavish, in-depth coffee table book tribute it so richly deserves. From the Rogues Gallery of Villains, including the Penguin, the Joker and Catwoman, to the car every kid wanted - the Batmobile - it's all here!
