Batman & Robin, BTS 1966
In the 1960s, the Batman television series starring Adam West and Burt Ward as the dynamic duo Batman and Robin was a huge hit with audiences.
One of the show's most memorable scenes involved Batman and Robin scaling the side of a building. The scene was filmed using a technique called "bat-climbing," which involved filming the actors on a horizontal surface and then rotating the camera to create the illusion that they were climbing vertically up the side of a building. The actors were suspended by wires and had to move in a way that looked natural and convincing.
