The self driving 1966 Batmobile

- Batman and Robin are about to be hurled to their death! Holy Oh No! Batman does some some quick witted math and a driver less programmed Batmobile is started....will it get there in time?
(Note: the Batmobile must have a great sensory grid as it suddenly stops and nods to allow some kids to cross!)
The sound of the batmobile firing up is one of the most satisfying things ever.
"You'll believe a bat and robin can fly!"
1:58 - Fake
@@layton3503 Obviously.
The bat and the robin are always flying.
He's not a robin. He's based on Robin Hood
No, that was terrible effects, still I guess it was 1966
good thing bats remembered the square root of pi, was wearing his remote wrist programmer, able to program exact location behind his back wearing gloves, the signal went through on a rainy day, and the nearby batmobile was not only equipped with a net, but that was able to be programmed, too, otherwise it could have been messy. i'd say the most unrealistic part of the scene was robin suggesting the batmobile needed engine oil, which is just silly.
It was the cube root of pi. They would have needed a blotter to soak up your remains.
@@pauldzim was it? i stand corrected. either way, prepare to die if you had to rely on my math beyond single digit addition.
Hey man, it's that good old atomic energy-powered turbine engine oil!
You dare challenge the genius of the Boy Wonder?
😁😁
My favorite part was there!!!. The two kids in the road drop their ball, and the Batmobile stops for them. Usually it's cut out or something. Also notice how the Batmobile safely drives to the rescue. It does not speed.
I like how it dips and shakes as if it's saying, "Come on, kids! I'm saving Batman and Robin!"
My favorite part is where Batman asks Robin "what's the cube root of pi?" before realizing "wait, I'm the Batman, I already know the cube root of pi".
@@jtkirkfan2002 That's like KITT saving Michael when he gets in trouble.
Elon Musk taking notes
Reminiscent of "sometimes you just can't get rid of a bomb!"
It's campy to be sure. But growing up, we made sure we got our homework done in time to see how Batman and Robin would escape the latest death-trap a supervillain would trap them in.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
Lol, Yes Indeed !!! I Used To Run Home From School( Which Was Located In My Old Neighborhood) After School To Watch Batman & Robin !
Could not wait for Riddler episodes.
Batman, Gilligan's Island, Andy Griffith, Seinfeld, Pete & Pete and Red Green made me who I am. Kids this days are really missing out
I like the rare moment of even caring about continuity - and appreciate the writers inserting the comment about it raining down there (in the location footage) 😂
I like how the Batmobile yields for the children crossing the street.
No doubt inspired a similar scene in Batman Returns.
@@meerkat1954 what part?
Yeah that was actually unexpected - less so that it would stop but that they'd include that scene, for added suspense I guess 🦇
In fact it reminded me of the controversies regarding real life self-driving cars and ethical decisions they have to make if an accident is inavoidable - would/should the batmobile run over a whole group of children if according to its computation that's the only way it could still save Batman's and Robin's lives? 🤔
@@Edwing77 it depends on what Batman programs it to do. Are couple of children worth risking the Gotham City to the criminals?
Like in batman 1967 Batmobile remote control the Batmobile care for the children like in knight rider black t top kitt care for children.
I was waiting for a time traveling kid in a life preserver to walk across the street in the background.
It was 1966. It wasn’t until 1985 BTTF was released in theaters.
Calvin Kline, the guy who hangs out with that crackpot?
The Batmobile had driver-assist 50 years before it was invented!
How long till we get ejector seats
It was ahead of time.
Tesla autopilot prior art
Yeah!! Take that Tesla!!
Not to mention the potential to burn someone's legs or entire child's body when the turbine starts up.
I know the comics and movies have introduced many versions of the car.
For me, this one created by Mr. Barris is and will forever be, THE Batmobile. :-)
You and me both my friend.
The only Batmobile that matters.
But boy the suspension was poo, when it braked for the kids! It's can't have been doing more than 15-20 mph and the front almost hit the floor 😳
Note how the Batmobile safely drives to Batman and Robin's aid without speeding, yields to the two children crossing the street, and still manages to stop at just the right spot in the nick of time with the safety net at the ready. The Batmobile deserves better than just a quart of oil, it deserves a tune-up!
An extra quart of oil will likely destroy one of the Batengine's seals. Robin secretly hates the Batmobile as Batman spends more time with it than with him. This is straight from the writers' mouths.
30 years latter on the simpsons, didnt I forget something lol
“Holy accurate computations Batman… you’ve found your inner Spock!”
That's is some Tesla Car tech. It really reaped dividends 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Gotta love Batman '66!
How did they know about automatous driving in 1966? This is so ahead of its time! And this episode so realistic too!
There is a ton of technology we use in today's world that been around for decades!! Don't believe me...watch The Jetsons! Every, every piece of technology we use today is on that show! Nobody sat around and thought that up!!
I remember watching this secne and it's awesome I bet the batmobile has better self driving than a Tesla
The batmobile was also the first car with a push button starter.
@@djmajestic2196 is this tge idea for KITT 24 years later?
@@JustinMacri007 I can't say.
These self - driving cars are freaky. What would you do if they malfunctioned?. I'm not the world's best driver but I have a good idea of what I'm doing.
@@djmajestic2196 - nah, WWII Jeeps had a push button starter. The button was just on the floor. Many cars had them, under the top end of the gas pedal.
I was thinking it was another episode from Season 3 where Bruce and Dick were captured and Alfred sent the Batmobile to their location by remote control. It was called Louie's Lethal Lilac Time
'Holy cliff-hangers Batman!'
"Let's hope the Batmobile will get there before we do."
Batmobile: I been sitting here for ten minutes, are you two ever coming down
Remote start, driverless mode, push button ignition. the Batmobile was WAY ahead of its time
Those already thought about, but back in that time, humanity lacked the digital advancements. EV concepts existed way before than we know it, so is everything that comes with it. Fast forward and we have modern EVs that can start remotely, self driving, and push button ignition.
Not really ahead of its time. Just what's perfectly expected from a show based on a comic book starring a superhero!
Lets not forget a mobile phone, anti theft system and atomic power
I wanted to see Carolyn Jones!
It was very nice the Batmobile stopped for the boys in the crosswalk. Children are more important than the lives of Batman and Robin, and Batman wanted it that way.
Well I must say that was really believable, not criticizing I used to watch Batman when I was a kid but now that I'm 61 I can't imagine why.
I'm 60 and I still love it but for different reasons. When I was a kid I was dumb enough to take it seriously, now I love it for the cheesiness
You can't beat a bit of 1960s Batman.
Because you were a real person with thoughts & dreams back then & not an old fart?
@@captainactionman01
It was fun to watch, it still would be now but it's a big waste of time when being an adult you get to realize how precious that time is
@@danielaplet4036 there are two things that are very important to humans, but many people forgot or to distracted to care about them, those things are Times and Health!
I am 22 right now, and I hope I never forgot those things in my lifetime, and I hope to be able to reach your age in times well spent and still healthy as I am now!
Loved this show as a young kid back in the 60's, and still love it today. That was the brilliance of the production, it appealed to both young and old.
"It's raining down there!" 😸
Yeah you're a good boy Robin for helping the writer place their lampshading b/c it was pretty obvious how it was blue skies with the heroes taking off and up in the air but not in the shots of the batmobile moving at the same time 😼
I appreciate how they also took enough care in production to wetten the street before shooting the duo's landing, making room for the interpretation it had just stopped raining when the car got there - after all, it coming down in one part of the city but not another does sometimes happen in the real world 👌
Batman’s plot armor during this series made him virtually indestructible.
How is that different from every other version of Batman?
Can't we all agree that Adam West's Batman had the best Batmobile?
Hands down. The others are iconic in their own right, but this one, IMO, is the GOAT
"Holy Cliffhangers, Batman!" Show not taking itself seriously since before it was cool. A++, will shop again!
I like how someone was just casually walking past the batmobile before Batman called it.
What do you expect from a TV show?
err batman, you sure you wanna drive the batmobile with the huge net behind it?
This program can be cheesy at times but always has the same theme; crime doesn't pay.
It may be cheesy, but one thing it is not is boring.
Shame that's not true, bit like santa just one more lie we are told by authority, who by the way are often the biggest criminals on the planet, and get away with it continuously 🤷🏻♂️
Unless your a politician, then even Insider trading and killing journalists won't lead to any prosecution
Cheesy my ass!
Batman is so op in this show, he can make troll physics work.
One bit of continuity has always been this Robin's age. In at least a few episodes Batman comments Robin will be old enough to drive soon, and Robin says as much when he convinces Alfred to drive. Then in the last season, the duo find Chief O'hara dazed and out of it more than usual. Batman states he will take O'hara in his car. A police vehicle, but Batman is a sworn officer, so he could drive a police vehicle. He instructs Robin to follow in the Batmobile, so clearly Robin finally got his license. Neat bit of writing, though we never actually see Robin drive. But he still gets to reach that teenager milestone.
Robin drives the batmobile briefly in the very first episode, then supposedly gets his license and a new convertible at some point in season 2. Definitely confusing.
@Rx Dt In the TV series, he only acts when called on by police. A departure from the movies and comica, where he acts often in direct opposition to the police. The core characteristic of Batman is the vigilante. if you tried to remove that, you are left with a very smart rich guy with lots of toys, and lots of spare time. That won't sell lots of comic books or movie tickets.
@@MGower4465 way back in the old days he was actually a deputized agent of the law in the comics if I remember
@@potsdam28 yes, the "benign scoutmaster" era of the 50s and early 60s.
@@5r248 In that early episode, he moves the Batmobile from entrance of a nightclub (he's too young to enter with Batman) to the parking lot.
Dick gets his driver license and a car at some point. We see him drive at some point, but I don't recall ever seeing him drive the Batmobile as Robin.
(1:58)
Robin: Holy clouds, Batman! We're flying!
Batman: It's not flying, Robin! It's falling with style!
Good one! lol
One of my favorite scenes in the show.
Just luved him tied up in his lil satin costume and so helpless
The Special Effects are Amazing.😁
"what's the square route of pi Robin... oh never mind I just remembered" lol
love how they're flying in the air like a buncha coffins
Okay, Bats, the cube root of pi, but to how many places? Bat-showoff.😁
I swear one of the writers of this show had a thing for tied up guys
As long as they tied my lil Bat princess up in his tights I was happy...
This is so goofy. I can't believe this is what shows were actually like? I thought this was a parody at first hah. It's great.
Yes, it's quite amazing to watch the corn change over the decades. In a few decades, people will be watching old episodes of "The Goldbergs" and will be thinking, "good grief, how can anybody stand all of this fake overacting? Is this really what people liked back then?" Personally, I haven't liked any television shows since I was a child.
1966 KITT from Knight Rider in development!!
The things they did to that poor Lincoln Futura. LOL
Yo desde que vi a Batman por primera vez, me empezaron a gustar los hombres ❤
I still love the Batmobile. What a car.
That's a powerful catapult
LMAO!!!! Years later Bruce Wayne sold some of his Car Tech to Knight Industries. Which resulted in KARR, & then KITT. LOL!!
Huge fan of this 60s tv show 😊
This and Michael Keatons batmobile are god tier
If life were only like watching a Batman episode, knowing for a fact that no matter how dire things get, everything will turn out OK in the end.
What a great show.
All they have to do is roll to their sides and they're off the catapult. There were many traps they could have escaped from by doing that when they are on a conveyor belt going to a furnace or a giant saw or a laser beam just roll off it to the side.
Well that makes for a boring episode LOL
Except there's no way for Batman to know the precise force of the catapult or how much velocity and distance they will travel.
Batman has genius-level intelligence. It's perfectly believable.
Easy. He calculated it.
Holy Batmobiles, Batman! You HAVE been doing your homework!
The Batmobile is the coolest car ever!
How could they have been catapulted if they were stuck to the net? And if they weren’t stuck, why didn’t they just climb off?
The line holding the catapult back was also the line holding them in place. Once severed they were free but the catapult was already tripped
@@MrSheckstr I'm glad that minor issue was explainable so it wouldn't spoil how Batman calculated the launch trajectory in his head and programmed the Batmobile to arrive at the precise location and deploy a net using a wristband remote from behind his back, and in 1966!
Did you compute the cube root of pi? That answers everything.
That’s why I drive a convertible:
I am a fan of the Michael Keaton's Batman and Bruce Wayne incarnation, but I love to see the West Batmobile driving itself.
The world's greatest escape artist
Where’s my goddamn electric car, Bruce
Note the give-and-take of tech upgrades through the decades. Imagine a similar scene with Batman's remote device having a touchscreen. Naturally, he'd complement it with touchscreen gloves, so that's no big issue, but using it behind his back would be about hopeless.
Then again, if he's prepped an accessibility feature...
Easily one of my favourite moments in the entire series
Batman: What's the cube root of pi, Robin?
That was neat batman was able to activate the batmobile remotely.
Some of the traps they got into in this show where ridiculous!😆
The thing I always found amusing is that everyone wanted to know who Batman was, but yet each time he was captured, no one ever removed his mask and looked to see who he was.
I am reminded of a game mechanic within Batman: Arkham Knight
Have no fear, Adam West's Batmobile is here!
I still think the Batcopter crash-landing onto a pile of foam-rubber at the Gotham City Foam Rubber Wholesalers Convention was pretty far-out...no pun intended....in the Batman movie of '66.
Funny, the music playing after they were catapulted was from the 66 movie
However answer me this , why can they simply remove their wrist restraints after they landed could you not do the same thing when in the catapult ?
I miss the realism of this show.
After they land in the net, they untie their hands and feet. Why didn't they do that while waiting in the catapults net?
Always wondered how they made The Batmobile drive itself; that was a well done scene. On Knight Rider you could easily see someone hidden behind the front seat of KITT
Almost the same thing here. They hid the driver behind a false seat covering. Check the extra thickness of the seat back when the Batmobile turns the corner. Also if you pause the scene frame by frame you see the drivers hand on the bottom of the steering wheel in couple of frames.
@@APennyWyeah I see the fake cover, and he must have worn black mittens or gloves, barely visible
@@tomxconn Yes you see his right hand just coming up while the wheel turns. Note that they made the steering wheel whole , round, a complete circle again for this scene instead of the normal cut-off aircraft stye top removed for more control in this "driverless" stunt.
Lol - the bat trampoline is the best!
I wonder if i can put one of those in my 66 montclair.
This guy gets out of more jams then Miccaiver
I truly loved Batman as I kid and watching the show......But that scene right there was stupid.
WOW it was great to be a kid in the early 70s watching those reruns of Batman.
the question nobodies asking, if the catapult flung them like that without some device holding them in, what was stopping them from getting out of the catapult?
I liked that Penguin had invented the action cam 50 years ago.
I dream of the day superman comes across this clip and grins.
Thanks to Batman's work on the Batmobile's remote control, the Batmobile came in the neck of time.

Before KITT there was the Batmobile. Amazing how the Dynamic Duo didn't rip through the Batnet despite all that force of their body weight. 😅
Before there was Knightrider, there was... the Batmobile! 😮
The only thing that bothers me about this is the off is green and the on is red. It really should be the other way around.
love this stuff!!!!
thanks
From I recalled...All Batman movies never seen a Robin besides him.
What?! They just left the net? Littering is a bad look, Batman...
A day later someone's kids were bouncing on it in their backyard. 😊
“What’s the cube root of pi Robin?” Haha
I was around those kids age at the filming of this episode. Wow
Holly molly. That was impressive
The greatest utility belt item was the carousel reversal spray on the simpsons..
Lol what great stuff !!!
Im not so sure that Batmobile would appreciate having its oil overfilled 😂
Special Guest Villainess - Marsha, Queen of Diamonds!
He certainly evened the odds.
Sunny in one half of Gotham and then raining in the other
The Batmobile before KITT 🤠
The one thing missing in Batmobile is it could speech. 😊
Holy cliffs hangers Batman
The only other crime fighter that had a remote control unit for his car was the Green Hornet for Black Beauty.
in "The Secret Of The Sally Bell" episode
My corolla has the radar feature and will slow down if it sees something i don't. That technology of radars was already in airplanes at that time
And I hate it. I have it on cruise and as I expect the car to reach a certain point so I can merge into the other lane, it suddenly slows because of the car in front, now placing me too far back to change lanes as it didn't pass the car on my side, and getting me trapped in traffic. The programmers have no concept of driving through traffic clearly.
And the radar won't turn off if the cruise control is on.
Only reason I watched was to see the Batmobile. I was age 11 and seen the show as silly. All these contraptions to kill them. One episode with the Penqiun has the Batmobile, 2 henchmen ejected, both shoot at Batman and Robin, somehow missed. However, no costume worn to stop a bullet.
Man. Imagine if Batman had a bat knife.
Or like, a regular knife.
Let's see the Batgirl cycle do THAT.
Any other clever gadgets this Batmobile has that we do not yet know about?
