That would've made HIS appearance a LITTLE problematic. ;)

Thinking outside the box, and with some trick photography...

Adam West in a window cameo :D

After the brief chat, the duo would remark "Seems I've seen that face somewhere before..."

I always liked the Warlock and his 'Boiling Bath'.

The Phantom is clearly Lord Death Man incognito in Gotham, perhaps preparing for his window cameo.

A realistic window cameo I would have liked to have seen is J. Carrol Naish reprising his role as Daka-sensei from the 1943 serial, perhaps asking if the Duo had seen a radium gun. If Colonel Klink can show up, why not?

How about Gomer Pyle? "Shazam! it's Batman and Robin! Surprise, surprise, surprise!"
Batman: Go back outside and calm the flower children.
Robin: They'll mob me!
Batman: Groovy.

It's too bad they never got the Wonder Woman actress from the unaired pilot, or any actor to portray Superman sticking their heads out the window. :)

Aquaman would have been fun to see, as he guest-starred in one of the newspaper continuities around 1966 or '67, didn't he?

They should have got the guy from "It's a Bird, It's a plane ..." the Broadway show. I think his name was Bob Holiday. I used to have the Life magazine with Adam West leaping down in the bat-suit, and it mentioned the Superman musical as part of the 60's (current) comics craze. He could've played himself rehearsing, but in costume. That'd have been great! But instead they did Col. Klink, Lurch, Dick Clark and the carpet king. The Batman producers were often pretty short sighted.

Let's face it Dick C Lark Ted Cassidy, Howard Duff and others were under contract to ABC . I think Werner Klemperer and Hogan's Heroes were connected to Fox in some way . the cameos were used for plugs.

As for Superman, there might have been rights issues. Filmation was producing the New Adventures of Superman for the fall Saturday morning schedule.ABC also might have been reluctant to have what looked like a plug for another network.

Not to mention Carpet King supposedly gave Dozier a deal in exchange for the cameo.

Through the magic of editing, a Forrest Gump window cameo would be great!

"I remember the time when me and mama went to Gotham City. I was in the hotel room and I opened the window to get some fresh air, and I met two nice men climbing up the side of a building. I invited them in for some Dr. Peppers, but they said they had to go because they was looking for a penguin."
