A few years after the laughably iconic Batman television series wrapped, the Department of Labor reached out to creator William Dozier about doing an Equal Pay PSA featuring the Batman gang. Dozier was into it, but Adam West was not. Fortunately, Burt Ward and Yvonne Craig were game to reprise their roles as Robin and Batgirl, and with a stand-in Adam-West-a-like we got this gem of a PSA.
Batman and Robin are tied up in a warehouse with a ticking bomb. Batgirl comes in to save the day but not before shaking Batman down about getting equal pay. It’s pretty great and there’s a shot of real tension in the middle of the goofiness.
