0:25 day 52 years ago the original 1966

0:29 Batman television program premiered

0:35 going to be showing their affection for

0:36 that classic television series they're

0:39 getting ready for the crowds and as you

0:42 make your way in the door they're

0:44 greeted with these two brochures of

0:47 large form explaining who's George

0:50 Barris was the originator the creator of

0:52 the Batmobile and as you turn around

1:03 the first ever Batman 66 exhibit holy

1:03 Hollywood history Batman to the

1:06 Madison's the original car was built

1:08 from a $250,000 1955 Ford Lincoln Futura

1:13 concept car that was sold to him for a

1:17 total of $1 because he was a part of the

1:20 Ford custom caravan program one buck it

1:25 cost you a little more than that today

1:26 by today's pricing spoiler alert we're

1:29 not going into a cave in fact we're not

1:31 going downward at all we're walking

1:33 upstairs which is a little misleading I

1:36 thought the cave what's the cave

1:39 underground I made it to the top and

1:41 take a look at this Wow much bigger than

1:48 I thought it was going to be and most of

1:50 it is completely enclosed in glass

1:53 they're protecting it very well on

1:55 January 12th 1966 the world the popular

1:58 culture was forever changed when

1:59 millions of people all over the world

2:01 tuned into ABC TV to see the television

2:04 debut of nee nee nee nee nee nee nee nee

2:06 nee nee nee nee nee nee nee

2:12 for the first time ever bat fans and

2:12 collectors from all over the world have

2:14 converged on this location for a

2:17 never-before-seen conglomeration of Cape

2:21 Crusader collectibles it might be hard

2:23 to tell that this poster is very puffy

2:27 of 3d like proportions and here's some

2:32 toys and costumes a lot of good stuff

2:36 adorning this case yes those are those

2:39 are roller skates down there and the

2:43 utility belts always wanted one of those

2:47 old-school metal lunchbox I see in there

2:52 as well a few signatures have been

2:54 placed upon this item oh wow

3:00 look at his face I believe we're

3:03 supposed to hold that up to a light or

3:06 the Sun and it beams through either his

3:11 chest or maybe its face but look at his

3:14 face what's wrong with his face

3:17 and I'm not gonna lie I would love to

3:21 own this item he zooms soars and loops

3:24 through the air it looks as if his hands

3:28 are holding a string you tie it on one

3:31 side of the room and you just slide him

3:34 across man that's it's pretty awesome a

3:37 lot of the items in here are screen-used

3:39 but some of them like these costumes are

3:42 in fact replicas as stated here screen

3:46 accurate replicas and they state that

3:49 the dye and the fabric would fade out

3:53 and unfortunately the elements that gave

3:56 the stretchy fabric its Sheen didn't

3:59 take to the dye very well so over time a

4:02 lot of those original costumes no longer

4:05 exist some of them do but only a few

4:07 they have given us this diagram with

4:10 numbers next to each costume letting us

4:14 know the character it portrays and the

4:16 actor that played the particular role

4:20 study it closely there might be a test

4:23 later but not really there won't be a

4:27 test tucked away in the back it's all

4:29 false face

4:37 that was the name falseface wearing a

4:37 veil and shades hidden in the shrouds of

4:41 darkness

4:43 not kinda there's a light on as I

4:45 mentioned a moment ago some stuff is

4:48 real and some recreations this Penguins

4:51 nest sign was used in the second season

4:55 episode titled appropriately the

4:58 Penguins nest but this big been

5:01 distillery dehydrator that is a screen

5:05 accurate replica a couple different

5:08 display cases featuring some more items

5:11 Oh old Colorforms I remember these they

5:15 were alike magnets you would take the

5:17 different body parts ooh there's the

5:19 penguin down there and he would place

5:21 them in front of Gotham City

5:32 some of this stuff brings back a lot of

5:32 memories I was not alive in the 60s I

5:35 was not born until the mid 70s but I did

5:38 watch a lot of the reruns

5:42 move

5:48 flickerings things have definitely

5:48 changed over the years when it comes to

5:51 this series when you look at Batman

5:54 today only a few of us think of this era

6:00 but those that do look back with lots of

6:04 fondness here's a script signed by the

6:07 cast it all started it all started here

6:12 folks

6:12 they Vaughn Craig who played Batgirl

6:17 her chair is sitting right next to the

6:19 bat-radar scope both of those relics of

6:22 the show she would sit in that

6:26 particular chair get her makeup done

6:28 before she went on set to perform her

6:32 scenes and this item was located in the

6:35 Batcave right there

6:40 at bat-radar scope it comes in handy

6:43 when you're fighting crime watch out

6:45 fellas

6:46 there is a bomb at your feet

6:50 there's a bomb oh never mind they're

6:53 protected their legs are safe and sound

6:56 just to give a little comparison in the

6:58 background those two figures are

7:01 recreations

7:03 the ones in front we're off the show you

7:07 can tell because they are much less

7:09 colorful time has fleeted out the fabric

7:11 and they're tattered and considerably

7:16 torn if you look closely the tip of his

7:18 nose is worn down to the nub

7:23 that's the original bat emblem on his

7:27 torso right there in the arm piece

7:31 a little bit of a tear from one of those

7:35 famous Burt Ward flips he was so well

7:39 known for it's probably a good thing

7:41 this isn't the real car because if I was

7:44 standing behind the real one I would be

7:47 getting scorched as flames would emit

7:51 out the rear end out the back side

7:53 making this thing get up to incredible

7:57 speeds however in case of an emergency I

7:59 guess I could always just grab the bat

8:02 sting guaa sure no come in come in very

8:07 handy now I couldn't find any

8:09 information on it as far as a card with

8:12 details but I do think that's the

8:14 original motorcycle there with the

8:17 sidecar just judging by the painting and

8:21 a lettering in the age I was a betting

8:26 man I'd say that that was in an episode

8:29 or two if he needed help

8:31 just tilt Shakespeare's head back and

8:33 before you know it the Caped Crusader

8:36 and his partner would slide down those

8:38 polls and come to the rescue

8:41 the rogues gallery of villains is just

8:44 dangling here in the center of the

8:47 museum

8:49 the most famous villains

8:52 do not even need to be introduced

8:54 because they were in most the episodes

8:57 but there were a lot of other celebrity

9:00 guest stars that made appearances over

9:03 the years as pictured

9:08 here

9:10 there's Vincent Price again on the far

9:12 left and a list of some of the more

9:15 famous best special guest villains

9:22 and who could forget the bat copter that

9:25 descriptive plaque used to be mounted on

9:28 board as was just propeller which has

9:32 now been signed by most the cast the red

9:36 Batphone was used in an episode as was

9:38 the communicator bat buckle but next to

9:42 it is just a replica bat-communicator

9:46 next to a screen-used purple Batgirl

9:49 walkie talkie and then another replica

9:52 who can forget this shark repellent so

9:56 they have the replicas and the actual

9:58 screen you stuff all mixed together you

10:01 have to read the little place cards as

10:04 it gets it gets very very confusing but

10:06 I must say it is good that these items

10:09 are behind protective glass because if

10:11 you put that on your noggin the Joker

10:14 would use them to train your surfing

10:16 ability this can be seen in two separate

10:19 season 1 episodes the first title the

10:21 Joker and the second was called he meets

10:25 his match the grisly duel that's a long

10:29 that's a long name for an episode but

10:33 that outfit could be seen in both of

10:34 them surprisingly even though this is

10:36 the first day it's open there's not a

10:38 whole heck of a lot of people in here

10:40 and might have been

10:41 the first one to get some of the stuff I

10:53 wish they still made like slam-bang

10:56 vanilla it had banana marshmallows it's

11:00 ice cream

11:00 I would consume a pint or two of that

11:05 and I would I'm not a big fan of lemon

11:07 drink but if it's got that guy on the

11:10 front of it I would pour myself a

11:12 heaping cool glass even marbles and all

11:19 kind of paraphernalia anything that you

11:21 could shake a stick at they really did

11:23 have some great characters like the

11:25 bookworm with his magnifying glass and

11:28 light off the brim of his cap and then

11:32 off to the right a little bit

11:36 the Mad Hatter be careful he's got eyes

11:39 on top of his head protruding from his

11:42 top back before we could just look on

11:44 our cellphone to tell what day that was

11:47 he needed a calendar and why not have

11:49 one with the bat emblem or Batman

11:53 himself just teetering over the date

11:56 stamp and remember if you've learned

11:58 anything today brush each day a teeny

12:02 tiny whoa Robert he is uh Robin's been

12:08 working out he's buffer than the Caped

12:11 Crusader

12:13 look at these guys you place your hand

12:17 up inside their body this thin plastic

12:21 sheet with the harder plastic bobblehead

12:24 up on top puppets

12:27 now I personally was not but I have to

12:29 wonder was anyone watching this a part

12:32 of the society

12:34 were you a charter member that owned one

12:38 of these buttons and if you were a

12:41 charter member were you able to have the

12:45 death-defying feat of holding a venomous

12:48 snake in your hand

12:51 probably not they probably didn't that

12:53 probably didn't come with the benefit

12:55 package anytime there was a fight saying

12:57 they used this dialogue dozens and

13:01 dozens of words like blue and blurp and

13:05 clang and ugh and black and Wham

13:10 and cut out so many words to signify a

13:13 punch thrown in making contact

13:18 crack

13:29 that's gonna do it from the Hollywood

13:32 museum on the corner of Hollywood

13:34 Boulevard at Highland although this

13:36 exhibit started today it does run

13:39 through March 7th tired man what are you

13:41 doing
