1966 Batman Window Cameos

Posted by on 1/1/2021 to

Back in the late 1960’s, movie stars and other entertainers were lining up to star in the Classic TV Series, Batman. The demand was so great that cameo appearances were included when Batman & Robin would do one of their Bat-Climbs up or down a building. Someone would open a window while the Caped Crusaders were climbing and they would interact and have some funny lines.

They were memorable moments and a total of 14 window cameos appeared throughout the 120 episodes of Batman. Even Frank Sinatra wanted to guest star and play the Joker! While Ol’ Blue Eyes from the Rat Pack wasn’t on the show, they did manage to get Sammy Davis Jr. to do a window cameo.

As you can see in this photo, the Bat-Climbs were done by simply turning the camera and filming the actors walking on what appears to be a building with a background. It was a cheap trick but it worked for the time. You can even see thin ropes in some scenes that appear to make Batman & Robin’s capes hang.
