BAT-WHEELS: Batgirl also had two different cycles. The first one appears only in the "Batgirl Presentation Film", an unbroadcast film to introduce the idea of Batgirl to ABC. This cycle was loaned to Greenway by Yamaha. She's only seen riding it in a process shot, not actually driving it. #Batman66

BAT-WHEELS: The first Batcycle was seen only in "Not Yet, He Ain't" (S1 E22), plus a Batcave cameo in the previous ep. It was a 1965 Electra Glide Harley-Davidson, rented for $50 a week. The scalloped windscreen and side Bat-logo came from Fox's props department. #Batman66

BAT-WHEELS: The 2nd Batcycle was put together by Dan Dempski and Richard Korke -- before anyone had asked them to do so! It began life as a black Yamaha Catalina 250. Greenway already had a Batcycle, but Dempski pestered Greenway's Charles FitzSimons until he agreed to see their version. #Batman66

60 YEARS AGO: 11/2/66 "Hizzoner the Penguin" is broadcast -- Stanford Sherman's political satire sees Penguin and Batman compete to be elected Gotham City mayor. While Penguin has crazy rallies, Batman runs a super square campaign. What, kiss babies? Unsanitary! #Batman66

When FitzSimons showed it to art director Serge Krizman, Krizman said "THIS is a Batcycle!" Unlike the 1st Batcycle, this one had a detachable sidecar. (Info from "Batman: A Celebration of the Classic TV Series" by Bob Garcia and Joe Desris) #Batman66

BAT-ART: This Leslie Thomas illustration is clearly of the tavern in "BATMAN: THE MOVIE", but wait, ... The Duo are acting distinctly out of character here! If Burt Ward's book is to be believed, this might be spot-on for him & Adam! Thomas was clearly having some fun here. #Batman66

BAT-ART: Leslie Thomas' art for #Batman66 was not only seen behind the scenes; sometimes it appeared on screen. Here we see Clock King (Walter Slezak), as "artist" Progress Pigment, taking in a Daliesque work he deems "inferior"; it's definitely the work of Thomas! (S2 E11)

BAT-ART: Leslie Thomas' concept art for Bookworm's Robin deathtrap vs. how it appeared onscreen. I don't envy Burt Ward having to hang upside down like that -- likely for much longer than the length of the broadcast scene. Holy rush of blood to the head! #Batman66
