This is really cool. Similar to the Ghostbusters video game from 2009 where the actors are old, but animated they can do anything.

Yes the 60s show was extremely campy and cheesy but it'll be fun to revisit, and every once in a blue moon it's good to not take the characters so seriously.

Had a lot of fun watching this in the 1980s on reruns and just glad that the three are around the reprise their roles.

The only catch as they talk about "the classic villains" - except for Julie Newmar, Adam West, and Burt Ward, pretty much the rest of the major cast members are dead.

Madge Blake (Bruce Wayne's Aunt Harriet Cooper) - died 1969
Stafford Rep (Chief O'Hara) - died 1974
Neil Hamilton (Commissioner Gordon) - died 1984
Alan Napier (Alfred) - died 1988
Cesar Romero (Joker) - died 1994
Burgess Meredith (Penguin) - died 1997
Frank Gorshin (Riddler) - died 2005
Eartha Kitt (Catwoman #3) - died 2008
Yvonne Craig (Batgirl) - died 2015

Lee Meriwether (Catwoman in the original 1966 movie) is still around, but other than that, every other cast member seems to have left this mortal coil. So I'd think this series would end up having a lot of phantoms surrounding it even as it retains the two top stars of the show and one main villain.
