The first episode of Batman debuted on January 12, 1966, and it ran on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 to 8:00 P.M. ABC had been hyping the show for quite some time before it finally aired, and once it hit the airwaves, Batman was a big hit, and Bat-mania swept the country.
Then came actor Adam West, who starred in the 1966 installment of Batman along with the tongue-in-cheek series that followed. Michael Keaton played Batman twice, in the action films Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992).Val Kilmer played the caped crusader in Batman Forever (1995) and George Clooney portrayed him in Batman & Robin (1997). Most recently, Christian Bale took on the role, in Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008).he first actor to play Batman was Lewis Wilson, in the first Batman movie (1943). I have included a link to the page where I got this information (the page also has a still a â¦ nd a video clip of the film).
