Production of Batman began on this day, 47 years ago. The episodes were "Hi Diddle Riddle" and "Smack In The Middle," and were originally intended to air in the fall of 1966. This was not to be the case, given that ABC was experiencing a disastrous fall season, and the show was slotted for a January 1966 debut, as part of "The Second Season."
Happy Anniversary indeed!!

Iirc from reading The Batbook,the 1st scene filmed was the scene with The Riddler's van crashing and him and Molly[actually Burt Ward as Robin disguised as Molly as Robin]jumping out of the van together with The Riddler escaping into the woods and the fake Robin laying on the ground pretending to be hurt.

Thanks for reminding us of this notable anniversary Tim. Quite an historic event indeed!
I find you to be odious, abhorrent and insegrevious.

I was nearly three and a half months old at that point! I was born in June of 1965!
Holy mackerel! This makes me feel old!
