Thanks for sharing these.

THANKS A TON for the commercials!

Post-series footage (i.e. the 70s) is not easy to come by!

[Chuck Williams]

Great stuff!!!

Spots like that were such fun!
Love how he literally phoned in his schedule in one ad!!

Holy Hosiery!! I just noticed though, I think he's going tight-less in this shot!!!

Thanks for the photo Chuck.
Question - was this 'tight-less shot' taken post the series for public appearances?
cheers,
Terry

Hey Terry,

After the show and for public appearances.

According to his book (I think), he begged not to wear tights on the show and the answer was always "No".

They were so right!! HAHA!

Now that I've seen this photo close up, could the costume he's wearing be the same one that was sold at the Profiles in History auction back in '05? I remember that outfit was supposed to have been one he used for personal appearances, and in particular the mask he's wearing resembles the one in their photos (which I don't have at the moment) - narrow-set eyes and the center isn't as cut out where it goes over his nose. What do the experts here think?

Yeah make Robin go and do all the public appearances while Batman fights crime. (haha)

Thank you for sharing.
