Hot Bat Sex
The man who played Robin, Burt Ward, blew the lid off the Bat Cave in his 1995 tell-all memoir Boy Wonder: My Life In Tights. "Thousands" of woman lined up outside the superheroes' trailer, hoping to get into their Bat skivvies, he contends.
One chapter is headed "On your knees, girls, and stay in line!" - a line attributed to Adam West as he supposedly rode his success as Batman to new heights in "Batutsi" sexual self-indulgence.
Ward and West apparently couldn't wait to get out of their tights. As Ward recalls in one passage, "Moving to the front of my red crime-fighter's vest, my hands caressed her breasts."
Indeed, Batman was a breakout hit when it hit the air in 1966. The half-hour show ran twice a week on ABC, with Wednesday's episode leaving the dynamic duo in cliffhanger peril, with the announcer urging viewers to tune in Thursday, "same Bat Time, same Bat Channel."
With stars Vincent Price, Joan Collins, Ethel Merman, Eartha Kitt and Cesar Romero clamoring for parts as guest villains, the show will be remembered as the first to hold two spots in the season-end Nielsen top 10.
But West, who had been married about 20 years when the book came out, denies all the salacious details. Now 71, the actor has spent the last few years assuring his fans that he is not a Bat Pervert.
Craig, for her part, claims ignorance. Producers had brought her in for the third and final season to fight declining ratings the old-fashioned way - with sex.
"Burt did spend a lot of time in his trailer," she says. "But I don't really know what he was doing. I really hung out with the writers."
