Batman was a american television series based on a comic book. It aired on ABC which stands for American Broadcasting Company, the show was on ABC for two and a half seasons from January 2, 1966 to March 4, 1968. Even though the series were short, Batman had two weekly installments and over all the show had a total of 120 episodes.

Around the 1960's playboy club in chicago was playing the batman series (batman, batman and robin) on saturday nights. Batman became very known and popular as the party goers would cheer the duo and some of the people would "boo" and "hiss" at the evil villians. Van Udoff is one of the batman fans since his childhood attended the playboy club and was suprised to see how many people enjoyed the batman show.

Yale Udoff had negotiations with CBS about showing the series on 20th Centry fox. CBS wrote a paper that allows batman to show on that certain channel. 20th Centry Fox signed, who passed the paper on torwards William Dozier who is a producer. ABC wanted to expect a hip and fun yet adventuring show. Pushing the show to January 1966 and over all the signing and accepting the batman show became a sucess. Turning the batman show into its first movie their was four actors who tried out and they were Adam West, Burt Ward, Lyle Waggoner, and Peter Deyell. By winning the huge roll was West and Ward for the main roles in batman.
