Nope not that one, I have been told it is the old black and white one, whatever that meens

[Postdog]

it IS the old black and white one. When it was shown originally in 1966/67 we had black and white TV!

[Skully332]

Thats what I was told

This is the only one I remember, and I am 52. It was the basis for that old joke- How does Batman's mum call him at mealtimes?
Dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner, BATMAN!
It was so cheesy - lots of on screen ZAP and POW.

Q: What do you call Batman & Robin if they get hit by a steamroller?
A: Flatman and Ribbon!

As Badboy says, there was a Saturday morning serial release called "Batman and Robin" made in 1949.
A lot of stock music was used in the serial.

Myriad2112 - if it's for the Black & White Minstrel Show??

The original tv theme was by Neal Hefti... brilliant track.
