According to IMDB, this was the second episode of Berle's brief series on September 16, 1966. Supposedly, Adam sang a song prior to his cameo as Batman.

Pretty funny stuff - oddly, I could see this as a good Benny Hill sketch. Also note the commercial for Glade air freshener, aka Riddler's sleeping gas spray from the pilot and "Death in Slow Motion".

Wow-this was amazing. A little racist...but still cool. Thanks for posting.

Wouldn't it be neat to have something like that as a DVD extra if the Batman TV show was released?

That show was originally in color, if I am not mistaken.

As with alot of shows from that period it's possible the b+W show is the only copy left. No one at the time thought these things would have any historical value, so tapes of shows were often destroyed after a period of time.

It's a kinescope copy of the show, which indeed was originally in color. The Fall of 1966 was when all ABC shows went to color.
