The Adventures of Batman is an animated television series produced by Lou Scheimer's Filmation studios. It consists of the 12-minute Batman segments from The Batman/Superman Hour, which premiered on September 14, 1968, on CBS. The following season, in 1969, a 30-minute version that omitted the Superman and Superboy segments aired as Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder.[1]
Olan Soule was the voice of Batman and is most likely best known for the role. Casey Kasem, notable for his voiceover and radio work, was the voice of Robin.
Batman would next appear in two The New Scooby-Doo Movies crossovers and various iterations of Super Friends (featuring Soule and Kasem reprising their Batman and Robin roles), and would next appear in a self-titled series with The New Adventures of Batman in 1977.[2]
