Not an expert but I work in television and I have an opinion on that. I think it's because of greed, licensing and rights. The creative ideas are still there but will be stopped dead by licensing and the greed of the rights owners. Warner Brothers would never allow a commercial like this now without a stifling piece of the cut. That's what kills imagination today. Entertainment corporations, publishing houses and the RIAA.

@AarHan3 either or the commercial mocked the TV show and the franchise in general.

@Cejuan25 not really funny and Im glad that they pulled the commercial it insulted the integrity of Bob Kane's creation, and I wouldnt be surprised if Kane himself called Zayre and told them to chuck it!

Can't believe someone actually had a copy of this commercial. That's Mark Sellers as Robin ... thanks for posting.

You gotta love the early 1980's Superfriends -type BATMAN outfit :)
Great! Just superb, really.
I once worked at a Zayre's, and as a kid I watched the Adam West-Burt Ward "Batman" series. These actors look & sound remarkably like West & Ward, and the Batmobile and graphics are surprisingly accurate for a low-budget TV commercial.
Where'd you get this little, video slice of retail Americana?
