Batman's first animated appearance was part of Filmation's Batman/Superman Hour in 1968. Previously called the Superman/Aquaman Hour of Adventure, Aquaman was given its own timeslot and a third season of New Adventures of Superman was paired with this all-new Batman cartoon. The series debuted on September 14, 1968 on CBS.
In 1969, the Batman/Superman Hour split into two separate shows and the Batman segment was retitled Batman with Robin Boy Wonder, also known as The Adventures of Batman.
The series is a cross between the seriousness of the comic books and the campiness of the Adam West series. Olan Soule and Casey Kasem star as Batman and Robin, doing their best Adam West and Burt Ward impressions. Ted Knight, who was a voice over staple at Filmation, played the Narrator as well as most of the series' villains.
