This is the screen test which ABC executives choose who they wanted to star as Batman and Robin, two were made this one with Adam West and Burt Ward and the other with Lyle Waggoner & Peter Deyell. The Waggoner and Deyell couple seemed like favourites but after this screentest producers deceided on West and Ward.

@DoctorPretorious616  I remember there was one episode where the murder of the Waynes was mentioned and it was the reason that Bruce refused to use a gun under any circumstances.

@GoGoFiasco Yeah thats a shock I went to chicago comic con and Burt Ward talked my ear off but I was more interested in meeting adam west. I got my picture taken with them thats when I met him met him but I was not holding it against him I think he is just getting old and time changes him. He will still be one of the greatest batman. I think they should give him a cameo in the newest movie him and burt somehow

If they remade this show to be a little less corny it would definitaly be an amazing show

Karate = breaking a board with your hand.

This is way more grown up and less campy than the series proper. This could've been brilliant.

Wow. Terrible lighting for the tests, especially the Batcave scene. It looks like they're making a Frankenstein movie.

Adam West and Burt Ward are awesome!! If a Batman beyond movie were ever to be made Adam West could play an old Bruce Wayne.

Adam West Bruce Wayne talking about his parents death...how cool

[mws755]

Batman costume was sweet! I wonder why they changed the emblem to something the looked like a sticker. Plus it was cool seeing Robin chopping boards and throwing guys!!
