The Riddler and the Scarecrow were considered off limits to The New Adventures of Batman, as Hanna-Barbera already had the rights to the characters for Challenge of the Superfriends (though The Riddler does appear briefly in the opening credits of the show). Finally, the series was then shown as part of the Batman And The Super 7 collection of shows that ran from SeptemSeptember 5 1981, this time on NBC. The series then became part of another package known as Tarzan And The Super 7 which ran from SeptemAugstill on CBS. The series was actually on air at the same time as Hanna-Barbera's The All-New SuperFriends Hour, making this one of the very few times in television animation history that two characters' exploits were being produced simultaneously by two different studios.Īfter the series' initial network run, it was then paired up with Filmation's aniamted series, Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle of 1976, and became known as The Batman/Tarzan Adventure Hour which ran from SeptemSeptemagain on CBS. This was the first time that both Adam West and Burt Ward returned to their famous roles of Batman & Robin since the end of the live-action show in 1968. Each episode also contained a short, moralistic "Bat Message" at the end. The character designs for most of the characters (except Commissioner Gordon and Catwoman) were retained from the earlier series, although the more sophisticated animation technique of rotoscoping (tracing the characters' movements over live action footage) was used to give the characters a more fluid movement. This was the second Batman animated series produced by them, after the 1968-1969 series. The New Adventures of Batman was produced by the Filmation studio in 1977.
