Hi,
I am hoping someone here knows who the artist was that produced the opening animation for the Adam West Burt Ward BATMAN TV show. I thought Robert or Charles McKimdon was the guy but his son thinks differently. Thanks, Eric

Lee Mishkin (February 5, 1927 – June 19, 2001) was an animator and director. He directed the short animated film Is It Always Right to Be Right?, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1970.[2] He was the founder of the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts (VanArts), an art school focusing on animation, design, acting and photography. On June 19, 2001, Mishkin died in his sleep of heart failure.

Speaking of the Opening animation scenes; when Batgirl was added to the cast, she was also added to the opening animation titles as well. However, if you'll look closely, you'll see that it's the Batgirl as seen in the test footage where she's helping Batman and Robin fight The Moth. The batgirl cycle is the same and you can see the points on the mask part of her cowl instead of the rounded mask they changed it to.

I like how Batgirl turns her head smiling. Very nice touch I thought.
