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, characterised by comic-book style sound effects like "POW!" and "BAM!" that were superimposed over the action.

The series featured many colourful 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 popularisation of the Batman character beyond comic books, influencing numerous future adaptations of the DC Comics superhero.

Julie Newmar's Catwoman is considered by many to be the definitive portrayal of Selina Kyle from the 1960s Batman television series. Her performance combined sophistication, sensuality, and a playful villainy that made her one of the show's most popular characters.

Julie Newmar portrayed Catwoman in Seasons 1 and 2 of the series, appearing in 13 episodes. Her iconic black catsuit, sleek design, and feline mannerisms set the standard for future Catwoman portrayals across all media.

Catwoman's relationship with Batman was one of the show's most intriguing elements. She was attracted to the Caped Crusader and often attempted to lure him to the dark side, creating a complex dynamic of attraction and opposition that added depth to their confrontations.

The character's trademark witty banter, cat-themed crimes, and elaborate schemes made her episodes particularly entertaining. Whether attempting to steal priceless artefacts or create chaos in Gotham City, Catwoman remained one of Batman's most formidable and fascinating adversaries.

Julie Newmar's performance earned her two Emmy Award nominations and cemented her place in pop culture history. Her Catwoman remains a beloved interpretation that influenced countless actresses who would later take on the role.
