Batman vs. Joker Surfing Competition

How silly was the original Batman TV series? One 1967 episode featured a surfing competition between Batman and the Joker. The characters felt the need to wear their full costumes plus surfing shorts on top. I'm sure the stunt doubles appreciated that. Never mind that the Joker was a wanted criminal, surfing was cool and ready for a ridiculous display on prime time television. If only the newer Batman movies were this much fun. It's a good thing that Batman had a little spritz of Shark Repellant Bat Spray! (via Metafilter)
