Adam West and Frank Gorshin forever...

Robin: "Venus seemed like a nice girl in that costume."  
Batman: "I suspect she is a nice girl down deep, but she's fallen in with bad companions. And who knows what her home life was like.

 
Robin, looking at Batgirl: "You know something, Batman?"  
Batman: "What's that, Robin?"  
Robin: "She looks very pretty when she's asleep."  
Batman: "I thought you might eventually notice that. That single statement indicates to me the first oncoming thrust of manhood, old chum."
