{"title":"The New Adventures of Batman","dateDebut":"1977","dateEnd":"1978","description":"Courtesy of Wikipedia:\r\n\r\nThe New Adventures of Batman is an animated series produced by Filmation in 1977 featuring the adventures of the DC Comics superheroes, Batman, Robin and often Batgirl.\r\n\r\nIt originally premiered in February 1977 on CBS. The episodes from this series were later aired along with other Filmation shows\u0097such as Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle (1976, CBS)\u0097as part of: the Batman\/Tarzan Adventure Hour (1977\u00961978 CBS), Tarzan and the Super 7 (1978\u00961980 CBS), and Batman and the Super 7 (1980\u00961981 NBC).\r\n\r\nIt should be noted that before The New Adventures Of Batman, Filmation created\u0097and aired on CBS in 1968\u0097another Batman series (without Bat-Mite), named The Batman\/Superman Hour (paired up with his old Superman\/Superboy episodes) and then renamed as The Adventures Of Batman & Robin.\r\n\r\nIn this series, anyway, The Dynamic Duo fight crime in Gotham City which often involves the classic rogues gallery as well as original villains. Complicating matters is Bat-Mite, a well meaning extra-dimensional imp who considers himself the biggest fan of the superhero. As a result, he wears a variant of Batman\u0092s costume and attempts to help him, only to often create more problems although he is occasionally an asset.\r\n\r\nThe series was produced concurrently with Super Friends produced by the competing Hanna-Barbera Productions which included Batman and Robin as members. The main distinction Filmation\u0092s series had was that Batman and Robin were voiced by Adam West and Burt Ward, the lead actors of the Batman live action television series.","leadImageMedUrl":"http:\/\/distro-1.retrojunk.com\/secure\/e9a564619f177330cbda9fee3f53ff419d0c38fee79a3282c270d4d766c6da9e84e7d7\/image\/afb_50dd7100bc.jpg"}
