Original 1977 Opening Credits

Behind the Cowl: A Filmation Classic

The New Adventures of Batman Theme Song served as a lively prelude to a superhero animated series that swung onto CBS screens in early 1977. Directed by Don Towsley and produced by the legendary Filmation duo Norm Prescott and Lou Scheimer, the series is iconic for reuniting the 1966 live-action stars.

Voiced by Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin, the show allowed audiences to hear the unmistakable voices of the Dynamic Duo in a fresh animated landscape. Unlike previous iterations, this series introduced Batmite, a magical imp from another dimension, adding a touch of humor and whimsy to Gotham’s crime-fighting missions.

Spanning 16 episodes, the show was a joint venture between Filmation, DC Comics, and Warner Bros. Television. This collaboration leveraged the rich history of characters created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger while introducing fresh narratives for a new generation of Saturday morning viewers.
