Sometimes you just need to sit back and contemplate a picture of Batman cradling Bat-Mite.

It’s the haunting, vaguely post-coital expression on Bat-Mite’s face in the first one that packs the biggest kick of unease.
Whoa, dude. Whoa.
Today, everything seems to be centered on the site. Is that because you’ve become centered, Mike?
De – Oops. Fixed.
That is chocolate gushing out of the fire hydrant, right????
That series tormented me because while the opening montage included the Riddler (who was my favorite Bat-foe at the time), he was never in the cartoon. I found out 30 years later that it was due to legalities and would never have happened, but you can imagine my disgust when I turned on the show, hoping to see the Riddler at last, and saw ***Sweet F’n Tooth!*****

That clip’s from the first Batman cartoon from the 60s, the one that didn’t have Bat-Mite in it. Both shows looked pretty much the same, so it’s easy to mix them up.
The second series in the 70s never did have the Riddler, and I was always a bit irked that he popped up in the credits but never in an episode, too. And I have vague memories of his costume being red in the credits, too.
@ Jason, you are correct, sir. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqEb_2ZnVvo
I have to confess this show is…interesting to me. Bat-Mite gets more tolerable, though he’s still a pain in the neck. And Sweet Tooth was a bit of a horrible anomaly, in that the villains were usually not that dire.
I dunno. I watched it as a kid and ate it up. I saw it as an adult, and while not a patch on the classic ’90s Batman cartoons, it was entertaining.
Mike, let me know if the shark thing makes sense to you when/if you get there.
I watched, O God, I watched, during the long 70’s nightmare. It wasn’t as bad as Superfriends, but even back then I knew it wasn’t good.
