Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Adam West's final animated Batman until his cameo in Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders in 2016. He reportedly loved that this version let him be heroic AND silly.
The 'Super Powers' toy line this promoted made $150 million in 1985—this show existed basically to sell you Kalibak action figures.
