Thoughts on Batgirl from Adam West's Batman?
She's often ignored on the Batman 66 circlejerks, probably because she killed the show, or at least she was the symbol of the mentality that killed the show. I don't know, it's just weird to have a third member. For me it's just S1 and S2

She's very pretty.

I dunno, OP. There's just something but I can't put my finger on it.
unfortunately

Yvonne Craig was mad sexy, and that alone justified her inclusion in the series.

The perv demographic wasn't big enough to sustain the show, or perhaps they wanted something more explicit like Deep Throat

We should count our blessings that things worked out more or less for the best - although she was initially created because the show needed a new love interest for Batman because Catwoman was now "colored", she wound up becoming one of the best members of the Bat-family, and aside from Bruce Timm everyone has thankfully forgotten that aspect of her existing.
Also,
this.

I think she was a fine enough addition, but she did represent a sort of clutteredness that held up some of the later episodes. Too much continuity and recurring roles when the rest of the show was so detached from reality or complexity.

Yeah, it is ridiculous how attached the higher ups at DC got to a fapbait character.

but she was in the comics first

The higher ups at DC didn't care about Batgirl for the longest time. In the comics she was often bland and directionless. The show overall was much more competently put together and more fun than the comics of the time.

I was referring to how Cassandra Cain (and later Stephanie Brown) got axed because "not muh Batgirl," but yeah, Babs has a shit presence in comics as Batgirl except for Year One.

She was created by Carmine Infantino because the producers requested her.
>>Schwartz stated that he had been asked to develop a new female character in order to attract a female viewership to the Batman television series of the 1960s.[6] Executive producer William Dozier suggested that the new character would be the daughter of Gotham City's Police Commissioner James Gordon, and that she would adopt the identity of Batgirl.[7] When Dozier and producer Howie Horowitz saw rough concept artwork of the new Batgirl by artist Carmine Infantino during a visit to DC offices, they optioned the character in a bid to help sell a third season to the ABC television network. Infantino reflected on the creation of Batgirl, stating "Bob Kane had had a Bat-Girl for about three stories in the ’50s but she had nothing to do with a bat. She was like a pesky girl version of Robin. I knew we could do a lot better, so Julie and I came up with the real Batgirl, who was so popular she almost got her own TV show."[8]
If the comic came out first, it's only because that's a faster art form than TV.

Stephanie Brown's Batgirl was just Barbara Gordon's Batgirl but incompetent. I remember Sup Forums hated her run until it got cancelled, at which point suddenly everybody had loved it and DC just wanted to punish them for not liking Barbara.

You're thinking of Bat-girl, with a hypen, who was Bette Kane.

According to wiki, Babs appeared simultaneously in the comics and show, and was created at the request of the show people.

Batgirl did not kill the show. The ratings were already stagnant. What killed the show was that it was way too expensive to build a set and then destroy it every single episode.

>Yvonne Craig was mad sexy
This! Yvonne is the sole reason I care for batgirl
>be 8 maybe 10
>never got into batman but still watch the show every now and then since it was funny
>suddently Yvonne
>the cossack sabre dance
and that was the first day my dick became diamond

She did kind of gum up the works, not her fault per se but the show had to find a new rhythm. I think if they had a 4th season they might have found it.

I met Craig several years ago, she was very cool.

Ah yes, the ancient art of defensive river dancing.

Wasn't she added because of the popularity of Emma Peele?

The Avengers aired in America?

What? You crazy

Hell yes, son. It was one of my favorites,

back when I was a little kid I got all excited when she drove by on her bike in the intro. I must have popped my first boner to her

RIP

whore

>probably because she killed the show, or at least she was the symbol of the mentality that killed the show.

...what? The show got cancelled because the sets were destroyed before they had made a deal to move it to another network and the Batman mania not being at its peak anymore.

I wish they had the old Batman series on Netflix. They have the movie but not the show.

>ywn tie her up and get her wet

This, you knew it was going to be a good episode.

Also boners.

Supposedly Poison Ivy was created as a potential villain for the show to use, also, but they ultimately passed. Imagine Ann-Margaret guest starring as Poison Ivy?

Her role in the show was bizarrely inconsistent.
Some episodes the writers clearly wanted a girl power message (or whatever the 60's equivalent was) whereas other episodes clearly present her as being an incompetent damsel who should stay out of peoples way. Neither of these dynamics work particularly well with the main duo.
Also her theme song is one of the worst pieces of music ever made.

She and Batman had a sexual tension in Batman 66. Or maybe that's just me. I really love her as Batgirl. RIP.

Batman couldn't have sexual tension with Catwoman anymore because she got blacked and there were still rumors about Robin so the tension moved to Batgirl

>the sets were destroyed
Probably representing about $12 worth of damages, adj. for inflation

Fascinating. I learned something today

The ratings were stagnant on S2 but they hit the rock bottom on S3.

Why is there a valve drawn on the door leading to the motorcycle when it's opened with a button?

What porn star does she remind me of?

A lowtest Gianna Michaels?

I'm mad they never really did Killer Croc in Batman 66

>Killer Croc is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly as an adversary of the superhero Batman. The character was created by writer Gerry Conway and by artist Gene Colan. The character's first appearance was a shadowy cameo in Detective Comics #523 (February 1983) and Batman #357 (March 1983) then his full appearance in Batman #358 (April 1983).

wew, those lips

She should be punished pornhub view_video.php?viewkey=ph577b4ba281521

I want to say watching her as a kid gave me a thing for redheads.

Duh But he will debut in Batman '66 meets Wonder Woman '77, during the 70s portion

Ah so she was the Superbro of Batgirls.

...

>Wraps her arms around the damn thing so she could press it with her nose

Source?

The Gene Krupa Story

He means the comic retard. Harley Quinn is in it too.

He was already in the '66 comic.

He was one of King Tut's henchmen that drank all of his crocodile essence and mutated. He looks like in the comics, but also wearing a turtleneck sweater.

Yea it was huge in America in the 60's

High test Stoya?

Barbara was treated as a love interest for Batman/Bruce in the 66 show from the start. Her first appearance literally has Commissioner Gordon trying to set her up on a date with Bruce Wayne, but they both cancel it to go do bat stuff. At the end of the episode they do meet and realize they like each other so they reschedule the date.

Despite the fact that Burt Ward was clearly too old, the show always treated Robin as a prepubescent boy who thought girls were icky.

He was 20, I've seen worse. See Beverly Hills 90210

Babs is best Batgirl. DC told me so.

>Thoughts on Batgirl from Adam West's Batman?

10/10

here she looks she could play Catwoman better

Why did she have to wear a wig with her costume? She should have grown her hair out permanently for the role.

...

It was part of the disguise

Hm, didn't know that. I stand corrected.

Huh! I always felt it was odd that Poison Ivy didn't appear on the show despite feeling like she was made for it. It's interesting to note that season 3 introduces Louie the Lilac, a gangster with a flower motif and a giant man-eating mutant plant. I wonder if they got into preproduction for a Poison Ivy episode, then Milton Berle asked for a role so they wrote it around him instead.

Hey man, that Batcave set was expensive for the time.

Why does Robin only need a shitty little eye mask and she needs to cover half her face plus a wig? And why is it ok for robin to run around in boy panties but she can't show any skin?

I'm pretty sure this is from the WestBats porn parody by Axel Braun.

Nope. WestBats porn parody only had most Batgirl with Robin. I so wanted more Batgirl in that... Lexi Belle in her prime.

It's not.

>Why does Robin only need a shitty little eye mask and she needs to cover half her face plus a wig?
Because that's how their costumes were designed - blame Jerry Robinson and Carmine Infantino
>And why is it ok for robin to run around in boy panties but she can't show any skin?
The 60's may have been free and swinging, but TV censors only had so much leniency for a show aimed at families - it was still (mostly) okay for a man in his twenties to get into fights in a circus-style get-up, but Fox knew the fallout from a similar outfit for Batgirl wouldn't be worth the thousands of angry letters (this is back when people gave a shit about angry letters).

I learned something new today and I got a woody

Batgirl is literally the Poochie of Batman 66

Downloading season 3 now because of this thread.

> watch video in spoiler text.
> see Bat Angel video in other clips below.
> Click it. Japan has a Stephanie Brown Batgirl porno.

I never thought Japanese porno and Stephanie Brown would ever be words I see together.

DC lies. They do that. Here's the real best Batgirl.

I miss Marcus Too.

Miss him? He's drawing the current Nightwing arc.

you made it through that video? Emily Addison really does things to me. Especially her latex outfits but this was...satisfactory.

Even in the 70s Wonder Woman and Daisy Duke had to wear thin pantyhose because somehow that made it ok to pass the censorship

Eh.. it was more entertaining than Batgirl Vol. 2 and 4. So it has that going for it. If she had a climax with lesbianing out with an Asian gal who's in black latex with a bat symbol it would have been much better.

I... this question hurts my brain, because my higher thinking organ says yes, but my lower thinking organ is telling me to stop being such a faggot and just enjoy the tongue in cheek bondage and wriggling scenes, and all the fan service over the years since. Image very much related.

>More gifs of Batgirl 66 in peril?

It's a visual gag, user.

>Thoughts on Batgirl from Adam West's Batman?

I like Yvonne Craig's cone-shaped tits, and she worked okay within the context of the campy TV show.

I wouldn't use her anywhere else though.

Cool, I thought he was only doing that annoying kids in space comic nowadays.
