Batman is an American live action television series that aired on ABC from January 12, 1966, to March 14, 1968. The show, starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin, was notable for its camp style, upbeat theme music, and its intentionally humorous, simplistic morality.

The series was known for its iconic comic book-inspired graphics during fight scenes, characterized by comic-book style sound effects like "POW!" and "BAM!" that were superimposed over the action.

The series featured many colorful and eccentric villains from Batman's rogues gallery, including the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, and Catwoman, who would devise elaborate schemes to take over Gotham City, only to be foiled by the Dynamic Duo.

Despite running for only three seasons, the Batman TV series had a lasting cultural impact and contributed significantly to the popularization of the Batman character beyond comic books, influencing numerous future adaptations of the DC Comics superhero.

Boxing Batman is based on a memorable episode from the 1960s Batman TV series where the Caped Crusader had to demonstrate his pugilistic skills. In this episode, Batman (played by Adam West) donned boxing gloves and shorts over his iconic costume to face off against a villain in the ring.

The 1960s Batman series was known for placing its hero in a wide variety of unusual situations that showcased his versatility and preparedness for any challenge. Boxing was just one of many skills that Batman was shown to have mastered, alongside other athletic disciplines, scientific knowledge, and detective abilities.

The boxing scene exemplified the show's campy approach to the character, highlighting Batman's physical prowess while maintaining the series' signature humor and visual style. The scene featured the iconic "BAM!" and "POW!" onscreen graphics that became synonymous with the show's fight sequences.

This action figure celebrates that distinctive moment in Batman TV history, capturing Adam West's Batman in his boxing attire, complete with the action word bubbles that were such a memorable part of the series' visual language.
