BATMAN (1966 - TV Series)
There’s a business in Logansport, Indiana known as Fiberglass Freaks. They produce my dream car. They don’t make a lot of them as each car is custom built by hand. The car is known as “The Batmobile.” Over the years in the movies and television there have been several Batmobiles, but the 1966 Batmobile is perhaps the best known and one of the most loved. It is this car this small company builds. The popularity of this car is not just because of its distinctive lines and style, but because of the popularity of a camp, comedy version of one of the most well-known crime fighters in comic book history, Batman.
The 1960’s Batman TV series was originally conceived as a drama; at some point the decision was made to turn it in to a camp comedy. I don’t know why the decision was made but the result was almost literally pure gold.
