List of Batman television series characters

The following is an overview of the characters who appeared in the 1966–1968 live-action Batman television series.

"Batclimb" cameos
Aside from the super-criminals, another coveted spot was the Batclimb Cameo. In 14 episodes of the first two seasons, as the Dynamic Duo scaled a building using Batarangs and Bat-ropes, a window would be opened by a celebrity for a short conversation. The scenes were actually filmed on a horizontal surface with the camera rotated by 90 degrees to give the illusion that the Duo were on a vertical wall. Their capes were held up by strings (usually off-camera, but on occasion visible). The Batclimb cameo scenes were discontinued for the third season.
