   He was not in the movies.  He played Batman in the 1960's TV series, which   
   would have been in reruns on WDRB in the 1970's, which made him the first   
   Batman I was ever exposed to.   
      
   > Did You go to the Crescent on Frankfort Avenue and watch Batman back then?   
      
   No.  I am not 100% certain, but I suspect that the Crescent may have been   
   closed by the time we moved to Louisville.  I have seen a couple of the old   
   b&w Superman serials that used to run in movie theatres, though.  They were   
   entertaining.
