This was the first time that both Adam West and Burt Ward returned to their famous roles of Batman & Robin since the end of the live-action show in 1968. Each episode also contained a short, moralistic "Bat Message" at the end. The character designs for most of the characters (except Commissioner Gordon and Catwoman) were retained from the earlier series, although the more sophisticated animation technique of rotoscoping (tracing the characters' movements over live action footage) was used to give the characters a more fluid movement. This was the second Batman animated series produced by them, after the 1968-1969 series. Casey Kasem, the popular radio countdown man in the 1980s, was the voice of Robin the Boy Wonder.īatman and Robin would next appear in a The New Scooby-Doo Movies crossover, various versions of Super Friends and The New Adventures of Batman in 1977.The New Adventures of Batman was produced by the Filmation studio in 1977. Olan Soule was the voice of Batman and is most likely best remembered for his work on that show, and many others in the Filmation stable.
The colors were vibrant and exciting even if the animation was a little stiff and repetitive in places. Over-the-top characters and catchy dramatic music cues gave this version of Batman a realistic look and feel-by cartoon standards of the day.
This version was repackaged without the Superman and Superboy segments. A re-branded 30-minute version premiered on CBS on Septemas Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder. It showcased the 12-minute Batman segments from The Batman/Superman Hour, sometimes broken up by and surrounding another cartoon from Filmation's fast growing stream of superhero stars. The Adventures of Batman is an animated television series produced by Lou Schiemer's Filmation studios.
