SCREEN MATCH!

DETAIL

Batman

DETAIL: The Batman (Adam West) hand-painted eyebrows & nose bridge on the cowl cover (seen above in a screen capture from the Batman season 2 episode “Pa Parker”) appears to be a perfect screen match with our archived cowl (top right).

Batman (Adam West) crime-fighting uniform (bottom left) comprised of a burgundy-purple identity-concealing cowl, matching satin full-length cape, gray leotard tunic with bat emblem applied at center chest, yellow wide utility belt with 4 pockets & 3 dowels, burgundy-purple gauntlet gloves, matching satin briefs, grey leotard leggings, and blue tall boots (replaced); and Robin, The Boy Wonder (Burt Ward) crime-fighting uniform (bottom center) comprised of a black fabric mask, yellow satin waist cape, red velour vest with shoelace closure & circular “R” logo at proper left chest, pale green tee-shirt, black thin strap belt with 6 dowels, green soft leather gloves, green knitted briefs, nude leotard leggings, and grey suede boots (some pieces replaced); from Batman . The Batman cowl in particular (top right) is screen matched to the season 2 episodes with the villainous “Pa Parker” (Shelly Winters) and likely other episodes. Noteworthy, Batman’s uniform features markings throughout (details below) confirming it was specifically made for Mr. West (and not a stunt player). Condition note: Dark colors such as royal blue (the original color of the Batman cowl, cape, gauntlet gloves & briefs) degrade in color, especially with prolonged exposure to dry cleaning fluid. While the cape retains its deep original color, the cowl, gloves & briefs have faded to a light burgundy-purple color that is uniform and not visually distracting.

DETAIL: “A2” for Adam belt #2 and “Adam West” are hand-inscribed on the verso of his utility belt (below)

DETAIL: “A” for Adam (West) is hand-inscribed in the waistband of his tights (above)

DETAIL: “A” for Adam (West) is present in cape collar (above)
