An unaired pilot for a Batgirl TV series with Yvonne Craig as Batgirl. ABC ended up just adding Batgirl to the Batman series to team up with Adam West and Burt Ward.
@fromthesidelines Thank God this isn't the Batman Pilot! What Studio would want to produce a Super Hero tv show in which the super hero gets saved by a girl? What boy's gonna wanna be that guy?
This was actually a brief "demonstration film", produced by William Dozier in early 1967, for ABC executives (never broadcast) to show them what "BATGIRL" would look like as a potential series [a full 30 minute pilot was never produced]. As 'use theforce' has noted, Yvonne Craig ended up becoming a part of 'BATMAN"...with ONE important change: her mask's sharp points left welts on her face. The edges were rounded for the series...

Thanks for posting this. It was interesting to see. Unfortunately it also reminded me just how dumb the writing was on that show. LOL
