The New Adventures of Batman

RELEASED 10 Feb 19778h · 16 episodes★ 7.4 TMDB

The Dynamic Duo fights crime in Gotham City, encountering the classic Batman rogues gallery as well as some original villains. Complicating matters is Bat-Mite, a well meaning imp from another dimension called Ergo, who considers himself Batman's biggest fan.

WATCH NOTE

The Batman/Tarzan Adventure Hour (1977–1978) repackaged this series' Batman adventures alongside separate Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle material. Batman and the Super 7 (1980–1981) was an NBC rerun package following Tarzan and the Super 7; no new Batman episodes were produced. Its Batman stories are already covered by this entry's sixteen season-one episodes, so watching the package additionally repeats coverage. Start with The Pest and continue in episode order, including both parts of Have an Evil Day. Burt Ward voices Dick Grayson's Robin, not Damian Wayne. Lennie Weinrib voices Commissioner Gordon and the Joker. The representative 22-minute runtime describes episode content rather than the broadcast slot. Exact package scheduling, edited episode mapping and durations, complete supporting and silent appearances, and Bat-Mite's official character-profile match remain under review.
