Joker: wait a minute what am I doing, a surf contest, I'm the Joker the Clown Prince of Crime, the Harlequin of Hate, the Ace of Knaves, I should be in downtown Gotham City causing riots, and blowing up buildings
While there may be a certain 'campy charm' to Batman and the Joker 'surfing it out to speak,' I have to admit I agree with Adam West. He felt this was a real low point. In his own words: "Surfing in the Batsuit was a low point for me. We crossed the line between parody and stupidity in this show I fear."
Compare this episode to "The Joker Is Wild," and you will see how the show started with a good mixture of comedy and darkness, and then fell into this sheer stupidity.
I went to that Hang Five many, many times, on the actual beach. It really was a snack stand, called something else. Therefore, it is a real rush to see the actual beach where I grew up, Torrance Beach.
100% better in her swimsuit, I can't beleive she has to put up with this ridiculous crime fighting with 1960's batman and robin, she would be better off in the batman returns and batman forever films.
Batman "sure Joker all we have to do is surf in Lake Michigan--ooops sorry I meant Lake Gotham!!! Sorry Gotham city looks so much like Chicago, i keep forgetting.
I actually did surfing before, in FL, and in surfing contests, it's NOT the order of finishing that matters. The judging on who winner is, is determined by STYLE and PERFORMANCE.
If they were part of fading 1960s television show, Bale and Ledger damn well would be surfing. Better question is imagine what Romero and West acting out the interrogation scene in Dark Knight. I think they would have done a far better job than Bale and Ledger did.
Ummmm, if Joker transferred all knowledge to his mind, wouldn't he know order of finish wasn't the prime criterion? O well, this was indeed made for kids first and their parents second ---
I really like this fight music better than the usual --budda, budda-- theme. Did they not use this theme one other time in another episode? Love the saxophone section on the bridge!!!!
It was used in all the third season Joker Episodes, the first half of the two part Shame episode, and the Dr. Cassandra Episode. I agree it was the best fight music in the series.
Honestly, the only reason to watch the 60s batman was for comedic value. Although unintentional, it does that part amazingly well. I was in hystarics after the movie.
Joker: Wait a minute, surfing??? I'm the Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime, I should be in Gotham City blowing up buildings and causing riots, not out at the beach competing in a surfing contest.
My favourity ep. Like the excited Henchgirl from Joker named Undine! What a woman... what a outfit for a minor-criminal!!! At last Undine ist meekly nabbed... very sexy!!!
Did you get these out of order or do you only put up the ones that get transcoded first? Either way, doesn't fuss me, just wondering.
O'Harra and Gordon are getting thicker by the episode. If the bin had been opened the first time they noticed it banging, things would have wound up faster. DUH!
Oh, I just upload them as the mood strikes me. Some interest me more than others, some have been requested. It's all fairly random. I did Mr Freeze because winter is ending.
Anyway, since you do take requests, I have one. The first episode of Batman I ever saw had the villain 'Musicman' or 'Pianoman' or something as such. I always got to see the first episode, but never the second. If you know the episodes I am talking about, could you please upload them? Thanks!

It actually wouldn't be bad, since West always played it straight, and Romero was as comic-accurate a Joker as he could be at the time.
