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.

Eartha Kitt appeared as Catwoman in the third and final season of the series, taking over the role from Julie Newmar. Kitt brought a fierce energy and exotic charm to the character, making her interpretation of Catwoman one of the most memorable in the show's history.

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.

Catwoman is one of Batman's most enduring and complex villains. In the classic 1960s Batman TV series, she was portrayed by three different actresses: Julie Newmar (seasons 1-2), Lee Meriwether (in the 1966 film), and Eartha Kitt (season 3).

Eartha Kitt's portrayal of Catwoman was groundbreaking, as she became one of the first Black women to play a major character in a superhero franchise. Her distinctive voice, feline mannerisms, and commanding presence made her version of the character uniquely memorable.

In the show, Catwoman was a master thief with a feline fixation who frequently clashed with Batman and Robin. Despite being a villain, she had a complicated relationship with Batman, often flirting with him while simultaneously trying to defeat him.

Kitt's Catwoman was characterized by her intelligence, ambition, and determination. She brought a fierce intensity to the role that distinguished her interpretation from previous portrayals and influenced how the character would be represented in future Batman adaptations.
