Lets fulfill this promess and go to work, champ! Lets celebrate the 55th anniversary of #Batman66 movie by looking into all the important movie you should see about the series!!!

Starting of course with the #Batman66 movie, the brithday boy of the month!!! The movie was plan to be a theatrical pilot for the TV series, but Fox didnt want to invest for a movie AND a tv series at the time. [+]

With the growing (and fast) success of the tv series, the #Batman66 movie was done right after season 1 was finish,shot during a month and than released on theaters later on.

Encapsulating everything great about the golden age of the show, #Batman66 movie was the tv show on steroids, delivering a real good time on screen while have some iconic and fun moments for the character and cementing its lasting legacy of the series.

And after all, is a movie about a hero teaching a lesson, and the lesson is if good and evil are straight lines, the path of peace in the world maybe need a little mixture of different perspectives, with putting yourself in the place of the other. #Batman66

But after the show ended, there is so much heated discussion about the existence of the series was something positive or negative. But the success of Tim Burton's Batman definitely make a ressurgence of #Batman66 worldwide. [+]

And if Batman TAS' Beware of the Gray Ghost made peace between the fandom about giving a answer that YES, #Batman66 is worth addition to the lore, was the 1989's DTV documentary 'Holy Batmania' what started the change of tide.

'Holy Batmania' have a lenmgh discussion about the legacy of #Batman66 and the innevitable comparision to the 89 new movie, while explore the bad but, in special, the good, about the show did for keeping Batman a relevant cultural icon.

For your luck, you dont need to get a VHS tape to see 'Holy Batmania', you can watch complete on youtube at the confort of your home (or laptop. Or cellphone. You get it). #Batman66

Holy Batmania, together with reruns on TV of #Batman66 helped to introduce the series for a all new generation. Close to the 40th anniversary of the series, Adam West & Burt Ward reunited again in the hilariously fun 'Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt'

'Return to the Batcave' show Adam & Burt together in a mission to discover a mysterious plot towards against them, with staged flashbacks of the #Batman66 production showing A LOT of amazing histories of the period.

Jack Brewer (in his last movie) plays young Adam West, while Jason Marsden (the voice of Bart Allen in Young Justice) plays young Burt Ward, with other members of the classic cast having also a major part in there. #Batman66

The movie also have the original villains: Frank Gorshin, Julie Newmar and Lee Meriwhiter all reunited with the dynamic duo here. I can't recommend this movie enough, is a real good time. #Batman66

In 2013/2014 was released the documentary 'Starring Adam West', which dives deep in the man behinf the mask and show his life's highs and lows, as much of the fan's love for him because his work on #Batman66, and how he reinvent himself and gone beyond Batman.

You can easily find the documentary online, but you can see the trailer here: #Batman66

With FOX and Warner FINALLY setting a agreement about #Batman66, the classic tv series could finally be released officially, on DVD and Blu ray, for the first time ever, as Warner could finally captalize on the IP open the gates for the 3rd wave of 66's Batmania.

And after a TON of new toys and collectibles, and a terrific new comic book series (which i have talked before here), opem the possibility of NEW ANIMATED MOVIES of #Batman66, with 'Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders' been the 1st of them.

A return to the classics/love letter as well, we see Adam West and Burt Ward going back together, in animation, in a movie what allowed they go WAY bigger than they ever could be in live action, while touching every single aspect what make the series so beloved by many. #Batman66

This is a movie what celebrates every action scene, every star, every joke and fan fullfillment about what the series can deliver. It was #Batman66 at his most 66-ish, and have a surprising run on theaters as well.

And after that, te last work of Adam West as the character before his sad departure was the soberb Batman vs. Two-Face, which finally bring the grim character to the series universe, voiced to PERFECTION by William Shatner. #Batman66

'Batman vs Two-Face' goes back to the roots of the series in his first season, while IMO is the greatest adaptation of Silver Age Batman ever done, while open room for certain modern elements introduced on the new comic book (for example: Harley Quinn). #Batman66

But the movie was a hell of a great farewell of Adam West in the role, delivering a exciting tale of duality that even the hardcore defenders of "grim'n'gritty' Batman can have a real good time with. #Batman66

And we close over here, hope you have enjoy it, and we got a thematic t-shirt of #Batman66 in our online store, go give a support if you can!!! teespring.com/pt-BR/66-dehyd…
