Chris O'Donnell was a huge fan of the '66 Batman show.

I had 'The Insider' on tonight, and a brief clip of our '66 opening credits caught my eye in the "coming up" segment. Turns out it was a segment about Chris O'Donnell, who said, "I grew up a huge fan of the tv show. I think my mom still has my little Batmobile toy from when I was a kid." They showed the "Turbines to speed"/"Roger. Ready to move out" clip and a couple of quick cuts from the opening animation.

Our '66 show isn't something I generally expect to see on the entertainment shows, so it was a pleasant surprise.

Wow, this is two nights in a row. I just walked into the room and Hollywood Game Night was on, and the very first thing I see when I look at the screen is the '66 Batmobile. It was a game where they had to put tv/movie cars in the order in which they appeared on the scene. The Batmobile was the earliest in the game, followed by the General Lee and KITT and a few others.

Chris made a great Robin, would have loved to have seen a tv show with him playing the role.

I agree there.

[robinfan]

He could play Batman now he's older.

[elmrgraham]

I agree there too.

The show is getting plugged constantly, lately. And when the series is released, it will be 10 times bigger! Speaking of O'Donnell, funny, as a kid I used to think when Adam West got too old to play Batman, of course Burt Ward would take over! A 'Batman 2' Dick Grayson, I mean. I could not imagine anything else! I don't know if Val Kilmer was a huge fan of the series, but there was a pic of him I used to see online visiting the bat-cave as a kid that surfaced when he played Batman. Does anyone else remember it?
