Oh nice

Batmobile Cutaways: Batman Classic TV Series.
By Richard Jackson (Author), Alan Cowsill (Author), James Hill (Author), Ed Giddings (Illustrator), Mojo (Illustrator).

72 pages of cutaways of vehicles from the Batman Classic TV Series (AKA Batman '66, or the campy Adam West one) including two versions of the Batcycle, the Batgirl Cycle, the Batboat, and obviously the only Batmobile that counts - the George Barris one.

I've wondered if they ever realised at the time how campy that was (I was 14 so was just starting to notice such things  ) or indeed if it was actually intentional ? Certainly set the mark for tv series to follow

I think that when they made the TV series and then the movie they had their collective tongues firmly in their (and possibly others) cheeks.

I think in all probability you're right, I do hope so anyway

Everything about the Batman TV series was intentional, and it many ways it's a lampoon
of the movie serials of former years.

I wasn't quite old enough to appreciate it back then. Maybe I should revisit it ?
