io9 Lists 10 Wacky Must-watch Episodes of Batman ’66

I just found an interesting article on io9 about the wackiest must watch episodes of Batman ’66, the entire collection of which has recently come out on blu-ray. Unsurprisingly the number one wacky must watch story from Batman ’66 is Batman: The Movie, here’s what the Gamma Squad article had to say about it:

More from TV

• The Expanse: Every character ranked from worst to best
• Monarch: Legacy of Monsters episodes 1 and 2 review: Aftermath
• The 9 best (and 8 worst) Arrowverse characters
• 10 things nobody wants to admit about The Walking Dead
• Harley Quinn renewed for a fifth season on Max (and it’s well-deserved)

"Okay, so I’m slightly cheating with this one as it’s not from the TV show, but Batman: The Movie is pretty much the microcosm of what everyone either loves or hates about Batman ’66 – it’s the ultimate thing to watch if you want to dip your toes into some Batusi-fuelled madness. With the show’s best villains coming together for one big caper against Batman and Robin, it was designed as a sort of extended advert for the series to international viewers (it didn’t need it, the show was an instant success and sparked a wave of Bat-Mania. Between Beatlemania and Dalek Mania, what the hell was it with the 60’s and pop culture manias?). It’s also perhaps the part of the show most people are familiar with, mainly because unlike the rest of the series, it’s been available on Home release for a while – Which means it’s best gags are the ones that you’ve seen on the internet everywhere, from Bat-Shark Repellent (and the infamous ‘Batman fighting a shark’ scene that’s spawned countless in-jokes), to yes, the fantastic and ridiculous Bomb disposal scene."

Read the full article on io9, written by James Whitbrook, here. Of the ten stories on this list I have only ever seen the movie, so I currently have no opinion on the other nine stories. I can however whole-heartedly recommend seeing the 1966 Batman: The Movie, it’s hilarious and also a Batman classic, a must see for sure for all Batman fans.
