66 Batman 40th Anniversary - Burbank January 2006

15 years ago this month, starting on the weekend of January 26, 2006, many members of the 1966 Batman Message Board over at 66batman.com gathered together for the 40th Anniversary of the show at Burbank's Hollywood Collector's Show. Adam, Burt, Yvonne, Julie, Lee were all there and even Malachi Throne popped by to check it out. Nate Truman brought his Batmobile as well. Before YouTube took off or iPhones, Instagram and Facebook were even a thing, I tried to video and share these experiences on the forum as that was our social network then.

Special Note: There was no 66 Batman merchandise available at this time. No Hot Wheels, action figures, t-shirts, models, comics or posters. Hotwheels would not show up for almost another two years, merchandise would be six years away and the DVD/ Blu Rays would be a little over eight. Chuck Williams and Williams Studio 2 were just about to get into the cowl, costume and prop world. These were the dark ages for us 66 Batman fans product wise. BUT, Adam, Yvonne, Malachi and so many other were still with us to meet and interact with. In that way, we were rich. Here's to their memory in ours.

This one was filmed by Mark Hardeman and edited by yours truly. I've tried to upgrade the original standard NTSC footage through AI software into HD 60fps. So let's go back to those days of yesteryear and watch some HD video of our Burbank 2006 - Batman 40th Adventure! Enjoy!
