AdamWest/BurtWard Lost footage

Was the camp thing always intended for the show at the outset?  Seeing this, I can almost see how the intention was serious - but just the way Adam and Burt delivered their lines, I felt like laughing.

Adam always has this slightly psychotic thing going on though, works for Batman but his delivery is just soooo perfect for camp when he tries to be serious.

Neat.
