Re: Looking for 66 Batman at WB Studios
I really liked the sense of humour and approach these guys took in comparison to the usual self-indulgent and meandering YouTube schtick we see so much of at this point.

Re: Looking for 66 Batman at WB Studios
That was actually pretty funny , and it helps to illustrate how close everything was/is.
Re: Looking for 66 Batman at WB Studios
this was very cool, but the show rarely filmed at WB. The vast majority was at Fox Century City and in/around Culver City. A few rare sojourns to Fox Western Ave. in Hollywood.

Re: Looking for 66 Batman at WB Studios
Primarily ,Culver Desilu was used for filming where the main sound stages were and anytime they needed an ambush alley, abandoned warehouses, mansions and used parking lots. The only documented use for the Fox Western Ave site was for the pilot shoots where the pilot Wayne Manor was initially staged before making the move to Culver. Even the pilot Batcave was at Fox Century City before moving to Culver as well by the next adventure, "Fine Feathered FInks". All call sheets post first season never has them return to Fox Western for anything. I lack call sheets for first season but doubt it was used beyond the pilot after they made home at Culver. WB was mostly used during the the first season when they needed an exterior city street as it was harder to sell 40 Acres (next to Desilu Culver) as a big city although 40 was still used here and there. Nevertheless, a TON was shot over at WB during that first season period where city exteriors were more prevalent. After the "Gotham Plaza" area was built up at Fox Century City with the movie budget, that became the main exterior city area from 2nd season on with the occasional use of 40 acres and the two 2nd season uses of WB for larger city streets (Ma Parker, and the Penguin Marsha Trilogy). Fox Century City Studios also had an area of exterior dressed sound stages known as French Street. This area was used sparingly for Batman but most notable for the outside of 'Way to GoGo," Barnaby Street in "Londinium Larcenies" and the area where The Archer throws money to the poor. But, they mainly lived over at the Desilu Culver studio for the run of the show.
