The Official Batman Batbook

This is the best Batman book I have ever seen. So jam-packed with information.

Wonderful information for any true Batfan. This book has every episode in detail and has a listing of all the episodes. Interviews from many performers on the show ( not Adam West or Burt Ward (: ) Great book but hard to find.

The "Batbook" offers an embarrassment of riches for fans of the 1960s Batman TV show. It includes all the essentials -- synopses of every episode, a good overview of the show's origins and casting, loads of photos of heroes and villains, and the lowdown on the 1966 Batman feature film. There are also tons of tidbits you never needed to know: A compendium of every "Holy...!" utterance that ever escaped Burt Ward's breathless lips, for instance, and an inventory of the bat-gadgets used in each episode. What's best about the Batbook, though, is the behind-the-scenes insights gleaned from original interviews with Alan Napier (the show's trusty Alfred), several writers, and bit actors who played henchmen to the featured baddies. Alas, Eisner didn't get access to the Dynamic Duo or any of the big-name villains, and relies for their perspectives on excerpts of previously-published interviews. Nonetheless, it's an amusing read for anyone ZAP-ped by the mid-60s bat-bug.
