i don't know why people upload a video on here with a copyrighted audio track knowing that youtube will disable it ..and it sucks to try to watch a cool looking video that has no audio ..it sucks ....
OMG, this was brilliant. Totally 60's batman and I must say that Adam West and Burt Ward if they saw this would bye roaring with laughter. Irreverent as it seems, this tongue in cheek take on our old super hero is perfect. Great job, as a bat-fan from the original series, I salute you. Carry on Citizens there is nothing to fear.
George Barris designed the 1966 Batmobile from the Futura concept car by Ford Motor Company. The Futura was showcased as a Lincoln concept in the mid '50's. Mr. Barris has stated this fact over and over in many interviews and there are a few reliable websites clearly showing this as well. There have been many replicas made from other cars indeed, but it was the Futura concept car that caught Barris' imagination and thus the original tv series Batmobile in '66 was created from that.
Thank you johnknoxville. I always envied the story of Barris getting the concept for a dollar... Those were the days: a 200,000 dollar concept (1n 1955 money) for a buck.
hmmm ok so u say, i used to watch mister tish pick up his kid in dearborn in 1968 in the original batmobile, im talking about the original not a copy, call henry ford lll he can set u straight, did wikipedia build a bat mobile? for your info look at the pics of a 55 lincoln the body would have never fit :)
Right, the original... George Barris bought the Futura concept from Ford Motor Company on December 21, 1965 for one dollar. look at the 1955 Lincoln Futura concept: it doesn't take much imgination to see the Batmobile. I have a copy of the letter from Ford (Jacque H. Passino) to Barris.
i live 2 blocks away from mr tish the original designer, one mile from ford testrack in dearborn michigan, i think mr tish knows what kind of car it was :)
Okay. Whatever... You win. Super-Duper internet hero. Go write your Wikipedia entry. Good stuff you got there. But I'm sure
George Barris and Bill Cushenberry are going to be pissed when they find out the 1955 Lincon they used to build the Batmobile was actually a 1965 Thunderbird. :)
Awesomeeeeeeee!!!! If you are a bat-fan, must see in Ebay the awesome 1:64 scale Batcave model kit from the tv show! Search with this words: Batcave TV 1966. Regards!
yeah I know george built the original car from a concept car, but this video info says this is a replica batmobile. I was wondering if it was a fiberglass kit car or something else?
HotRodAlley - Pretty sure Tom Woodruff Jr built this replica - He mentioned it in an interview I read online and the interview gave a link to this video. Plus it says "Woodruff" as one of the search words, so, yeah, pretty sure :)

Wow... SO funny. Loved every second of it. It's very Brady Movie.. taking the old and putting it in the new... and putting it way out of its element.
I'd loved to have seen Batman giving the child a lesson on cursing, since Batman would not approve of such language from a child. haha
Good job on the Batmobile and I loved the oldies playing inside the car bit. FUNNY

This could have easily been the next camp tv series of batman..
If this was really pitched it's too bad they didn't pick it up..
We haven't had a tv show like this since the original 60's batman.. you should shoot some more stuff and post it to you tube.. ;)
